Troy Deeney: Why Ronaldo Falls Short of Football’s GOAT Debate
Former Watford and England striker Troy Deeney says Cristiano Ronaldo should not be included among football’s greatest players. Deeney highlights that Ronaldo has featured in six World Cups without winning the trophy or making a decisive impact on the sport’s biggest stage. He notes that every other candidate in the GOAT discussion has succeeded at World Cup level. The 41-year-old Al-Nassr forward is set to play his final World Cup in 2026 as he pursues an incredible 1,000 career goals, but Deeney argues Ronaldo remains too dependent on teammates to create his chances.
