Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has named the toughest opponent he has ever faced in his long and very successful career.

The 38-year-old, who plays at Al Nassr in the Saudi Arabian National League, has had many tough battles with defenders during his time with Sporting Lisbon, Real Madrid, Man United and Juventus.

During his early career, Ronaldo terrified defenders with his straight runs, quick feet, and unique dribbling style, before changing his style of play to become a central striker. perfect in recent years.

Ronaldo’s second spell at Man United saw him score 16 goals in his only full Premier League season. At this time, Ronaldo is still scoring goals with Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, with 20 goals in 20 matches since coming to this team last January.

Ronaldo’s changing roles and positions in recent years have seen him face a variety of defenders and styles, including a Premier League star who makes CR7 shy. The player in question is Ashley Cole, considered by many to be the greatest left-back of the Premier League era with Arsenal and Chelsea.

Ronaldo faced off against the English legend when Cole played for both London clubs and when Portugal faced England. Since retiring, this former defender has taken on coaching roles at England U21, Derby, and Everton.

Ronaldo explained Cole is the toughest opponent he has ever faced: “Over the years, I’ve had some great matches with Ashley Cole. He doesn’t give you a second to breathe. When he was in his prime tall, he was a tenacious, quick player, and it was difficult to handle the ball when he’s marking him. Against Ashley, you know it’s never going to be an easy match.”
