The controversy over who is the best footballer of all time is a debate that never ceases in the world of football. Each generation has its idols and figures that mark an era, but the question of who is the greatest of all time always generates controversy and divided opinions.

On this occasion, it was the historic Mexican footballer Hugo Sanchez who ignited the controversy by expressing his opinion about Cristiano Ronaldo and his self-proclamation as the best player in history. In recent statements, Sanchez stated that "Cristiano is among the best, but he is saying 'I think'; and saying 'I think' is that he is not sure".

The former Real Madrid striker, known for his frankness and bluntness when speaking, did not hesitate to express his opinion about the Portuguese star. "What is he going to say about himself, that seems fine to me," Sanchez added, making it clear that he finds it logical that Cristiano Ronaldo considers himself the best.

However, the historic Mexican footballer did not stop there and made it clear who for him is the best player in history: "For me, the best in history is Pele". In this way, Sanchez joined the long list of football personalities who consider the Brazilian star as the greatest of all time.

Hugo Sanchez's opinion on Cristiano Ronaldo and Pele generated a great stir in the world of football, and social networks were flooded with comments and opinions about it. Some supported the Mexican's position, while others defended the quality and achievements of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The reality is that choosing the best footballer in history is a subjective and personal matter. Each person has their own criteria and preferences when evaluating players, and it is difficult to reach a unanimous consensus.

However, Hugo Sanchez's opinion is valuable because he is a historic Mexican footballer, recognized for his career and his achievements in world football. His voice joins that of other football legends who have also expressed their admiration for Pele and his legacy in the sport.

Beyond the controversy over who is the best in history, both Cristiano Ronaldo and Pele are two exceptional footballers who have marked an era in world football. Their achievements, their talent and their dedication to the sport have made them legends and role models for millions of fans around the world.

Cristiano Ronaldo, with his scoring ability and his insatiable ambition, has won numerous titles and records throughout his career. His professionalism and his commitment on the field have made him one of the most admired and respected footballers in the world.

Pele, meanwhile, is considered by many to be the best footballer of all time. His skill, his creativity and his charisma made him an icon of world football. He won three World Cups with the Brazilian national team and left an indelible legacy in the history of the sport.

The discussion about who is the best in history will probably continue for many years to come. Each generation will have its own idols and role models, and the choice of the best will always be a matter of taste and personal preference.

The important thing is to recognize and value the legacy of all those footballers who have marked an era and have contributed to making football the most popular and exciting sport in the world. Cristiano Ronaldo and Pele are two examples of this, and their names will always be remembered with admiration and respect in the history of football.

In short, Hugo Sanchez's opinion on Cristiano Ronaldo and Pele invites us to reflect on the eternal discussion about the best footballer in history. Beyond personal preferences, the important thing is to celebrate the talent and passion of all those players who have made and continue to make football a unique and special sport.
