This was stated by the Portuguese celebrity in an interview with Edu Aguirre. Additionally, he said that he preferred scoring goals at Camp Nou to the Bernabeu. Football fans will undoubtedly argue with this statement.
Ronaldo's career started in Lisbon at Sporting CP. Barcelona showed interest in him before his stint at Manchester United.
He remembered being approached with an offer by someone from Barcelona. But the transaction never took place.
When Ronaldo claimed, "I was able to sign for Barca," he thought about why things didn't turn out as well.
The following year, he thought, Barcelona might have wanted to sign him. However, Manchester United was the first to act.
"That's how fate is," he continued, referring to football's unpredictability.
Ronaldo earned his first Ballon d'Or with Manchester United. His career depended heavily on his time at Old Trafford.
However, he relocated to Real Madrid in 2009. His strong rivalry with Lionel Messi began with this transfer.
With each El Clasico, the argument between Messi and Ronaldo grew more intense.
Ronaldo talked positively about his goal at Camp Nou. "I had the upper hand.
I didn't mind the insults when they whistled at me," he stated. "I only thought about scoring and silencing those people."
He was particularly fond of scoring goals at Barcelona's home stadium.
"I liked scoring goals more at the Camp Nou than at the Bernabeu," Ronaldo joked.
Both Real Madrid and Barcelona supporters will undoubtedly feel strongly about this comment.
There is a historical rivalry between these two clubs and these two celebrities.
Ronaldo’s remarks also included some guidance for Kylian Mbappe. Ronaldo is admired by the French forward.
Ronaldo advised Mbappe to take the advice of Madrid supporters. Mbappe was still learning how to play as a striker, he added.
Ronaldo's comments only serve to stoke the "Messi vs. Ronaldo" controversy.
He and Messi have one of the most intense rivalries in football history.
Although Ronaldo once had the opportunity to sign for Barcelona, his career truly flourished during his years at Manchester United and Real Madrid, captivating football fans worldwide.
