I'm just watching this again after Man United lost against Crystal Palace 4:0. Ronaldo said everything that's happening now

Not me coming back to this interview after what happened in weekend at old traford 😂u can’t hide the truth Viva Ronaldo

I've spent 1 hour and 30 minutes waiting for some giant bombshell. Never came. What I saw was class and dignity from a true champion. He was truthful and sincere. He clearly deserves respect, on and off the field. Now I see why my sons have been HUGE Ronaldo fans since they were teens. Their dream has always been to meet him and see him play. Now I understand why. Doesn't matter where he plays, he'll always have super fans in our family.

Can we talk about how he educated himself through the years, i remember when he couldn’t speak any english whatsoever. Not just a great player but also a great human being trying to improve every aspect of himself.

Watching this now, I have massive respect for this idol. He was absolutely right despite the whole world thinking he wasn't. Strong mentality as well!

This interview HITS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RIGHT NOW 🐐🐐🐐

As a Messi fan, always had respect for this guy. Amazing insights on his life. 🙌🏻

As a Messi fan, ronaldo is so well spoken, humble, and honest. It's an honour listening to him speak. Piers also does an excellent job allowing him to speak and you can tell ronaldo trusted piers and used this opportunity to air his grievances. Great interview !

I will always be Cristiano Ronaldo's fan even if he doesnt have the worldcup, hes a iconic player always. He is the GOAT in my opinion. He is number 1 for me. I'm glad to see him speak openly to Piers Morgan.

This interview has aged very well. Where are those fans that had bad things to say about our LEGEND? Everything he said about the club and the manager has now been proven. He was always right and instead of fans believing him, they batterred him, apologies Cr7.
