Now dedicated to helping run Real Valladolid, Ronaldo still has the aura of the player that amazed the world as he broke through as a teenager years ago.

A respected voice throughout the sport, 'O Fenómeno' was asked about his take on the age-old Messi v Maradona debate in Argentina.

"You could close your eyes and just pick one, and I'm sure that he'd score you goals. They're two footballing superstars. I'm not really into making comparisons, because they're very unfair, they're very difficult and especially when it comes to different generations. Maradona played in a generation quite a few years ago, but they are two geniuses who will remain in the history of football forever," he said in conversation with 'CNN'.

He then added: "What can we say about Leo? Let's hope he plays all his life. He's a player who's there to make people enjoy themselves. I'm sure Leo wants to give his team as much as possible and that's why he makes all this sacrifice. At the age of 32, he could refuse one more Copa America but he's there, instead of enjoying his holidays he's with the national team".

In addition to acknowledging his good friendship with Maradona, Ronaldo also showed his appreciation for the Argentinian people, to whom he is linked by a beautiful football rivalry.

"I think this rivalry has made Argentina much better and Brazil much better. Apart from football, I have absolutely nothing against them. There's a relationship, here we call them our Argentine brothers, so there's very good vibes between the two countries," he said.

Finally, in relation to Mbappé, the current president of Valladolid suggested that he is now one step above Neymar at PSG. "A player, who without making much noise, has taken a lot of the spotlight away from Neymar in a PSG team full of stars and, at just 19, is a global superstar. I love watching him play because of his similarity to me," he concluded.

5 Questions About Hell Answered

Shutterstock.com Hell is mentioned in the Bible numerous times including in Matthew 8:12, which says, “The children of the kingdom will be driven out into the darkness where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.” Hell is also mentioned related to internal destruction in 2 Thessalonians 1:9 which says, “These will pay the penalty of eternal ruin, separated from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His power”. Hell is also described in great detail in Revelation 14:11 which says, “The smoke of the fire that torments them will rise forever and ever, and there will be no relief day or night for those who worship the beast or its image or accept the mark of its name”.

No human truly has a sense of what hell looks like or feels like. No experiences of pain and torment on this earth parallel ...
