Harry Kane chooses CR7 over R9 and Messi
Therefore, in a recent interview with the media GOAL, the Englishman was asked about his opinion on who is the best finisher facing goal in the entire history of football.

All this, under a popular and very rival video format on social networks, in which the interviewee is told to speak or say something when he hears the name of the person he believes is the winner or his personal choice mentioned.

During the video, Kane is mentioned the names of footballers such as Van Nistelrooy, Zlatan Ibrahimović, Miroslav Klose, Salah, Mbappé, Haaland, Luis Suárez and Lewandowski, but it was when the last three were reached that the Englishman began to get nervous:

 

“R9 (Ronaldo Fenómeno)?… Lionel Messi?… Cristiano Ronaldo?” asked the interviewer, getting the latter option right.

Upon hearing the name of the Portuguese star with an illustrious past at Real Madrid and Manchester United, Harry blinked, nodded and stated: “Ronnie (Cristiano Ronaldo).”

It is no secret to anyone the influence that Cristiano Ronaldo had on an entire generation of footballers who grew up watching the Premier League and his beginnings at Manchester United. Although he seemed to have doubts about whether to choose Ronaldo Nazario or CR7, once he heard CR7 named all doubts were cleared up.

Do you agree with his opinion?
