Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo continues to astonish at 39, as praised by former Lionel Messi coach at PSG.
Christophe Galtier, current manager of Al-Duhail in Qatar, commended CR7 after the Portuguese superstar’s impressive performance against his team in the AFC Champions League.
In a fiercely contested group stage match, Al-Nassr emerged victorious with a 4-3 win over Galtier’s Al-Duhail.
Former PSG manager chooses between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi
The former Paris Saint-Germain coach was impressed by Ronaldo’s performance against his club, particularly his two beautiful goals.
“He scored two beautiful goals. I’m lost for words to describe it. What he did is extraordinary for a 39-year-old player. He remains the best player in the world,” Galtier said in his post-match comments according to Sportskeeda.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who joined Saudi club Al-Nassr on a lucrative contract in January 2023, continues to defy the effects of age, showcasing his world-class talent and goal-scoring prowess even at the twilight of his career.
The primary rival of the Portuguese icon, Lionel Messi, has also been in great form for his Inter Miami, sparking a renewed debate over the status of the two legends as the greatest players of their generation.
However, Galtier’s praise for CR7’s performance against his team suggests that the 39-year-old player can still captivate and impress even the most experienced coaches.
As Cristiano Ronaldo continues to ply his trade in the Middle East, his performances remain closely monitored by football fans worldwide, eager to see if the timeless marvel can maintain his status as one of the greatest of all time.
