That is the most liberal villain of all time. You see why I say that Ronaldo has never been insecure about the whole GOAT debate, and why I call him the most liberal villain of all time. To him, it has always been opinion driven, and in his opinion, he has never seen anyone greater than him. You see why he never forced a club to put players on a clause to call him the GOAT, never told Nike, his brand, to invest in media propaganda to make him the GOAT, and never lobbied football to decorate awards to make him look beautiful. A normal villain would demand loyalty. A normal villain would silence his critics. Ronaldo does the opposite. That is what makes him liberal, even in his villain era. He even felt it was normal to have a life outside his rivalry with Messi. And here he is, on the occasion of his TV show, Henry features, despite knowing his disdain for him. But he understood the plight of those who talk about him on Monday night. He stole their crown and destroyed their teams, and now, outside football, they have got to talk about him to feed, which is completely fine. The only problem he has is the revisionism of his character and killing his image for public applause. You can always feel Messi is better, as long as you can convince him with reason, but he never demands such loyalty from anyone. And for this reason, he invites the same man to his own show. That is not insecurity. That is a man who knows who he is. A villain who lets you hate him freely. A villain who lets you disagree with him openly. A villain who still gives you a seat at his table.
