CRISTIANO RONALDO reckons no other player can hold a candle to him.
And he can also wax lyrical about his 40th birthday cake - thanks to a majestic creation from Al-Nassr.
Cristiano Ronaldo got a cake others can only dream of
Ronaldo shared a birthday pic with Georgina Rodriguez
Ronaldo's Saudi club served up a triple-tier offering, laced with three truly special extras.
In front of the cake sat five tasty Ballons d'Or, looking golden delicious.
Embedded around it was a touching selection of childhood pictures.
And perched on top was a mini version of the legend himself, performing the type of overhead kick that rekindles memories of the cream of his 923 goals (and counting).
Al-Nassr posted snaps of the beaming ex-Manchester United frontman gazing down at the carb-crammed construction - something that health-conscious Ronaldo might normally avoid eating.
They added the words: "Happiness looks good on him."
Team-mates like new £64million striker Jhon Duran crowded alongside CR7 in other photos.
And as supporters responded to the pics with a stream of good wishes to the Portugal great, Ron also shared his verdict on the big day.
The ex-Real Madrid hero posted a cosy picture with girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and said: "Thank you all for the amazing birthday messages!
"Had a great day with family and friends, couldn’t wish for anything better."
Ron has revealed in interviews this week he believes playing on "a year, or two, or three" is still possible.
But as he reached what many regard as a landmark birthday, he appeared to be more philosophical about his future on the pitch.
Ronaldo claimed he "doesn't care" how long his playing career lasts.
He suggested too he's relaxed about whether he bags the 77 more strikes needed to make four figures.
He said: “If I reach 1,000 goals, great. If not, that's fine too. Numbers don’t lie."
Ron won the Champions League four times, all with Real, plus La Liga twice, three Prem crowns with United and Serie A on a couple of occasions with Juventus.
And as represented by his Ballons d'Or cake accessories, he was also named world player of the year five times.
So, at least in terms of honours, he's the perfect antidote to the argument that life begins at 40.
But he's certainly chosen the moment to serve up some strife - for those who like a heated debate.
Ronaldo stirred up the eternal question of "Who is the GOAT?" by again insisting he's "the best player ever".
He added: "I'm fast, I'm strong, [I score] with my head, with the left, no one has ever been more complete than me.
“You may prefer Pele, Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona, I understand and respect that.... I am the best in history. Period."
And whatever Al-Nassr or anyone gave Ron for his birthday, it surely won't beat perhaps the greatest gift of all - his sense of fulfilment.
