Cristiano Ronaldo set the record straight this week regarding his viral conversation with Tom Brady prior to the Buccaneers quarterback’s return to the NFL earlier this year.
Ronaldo and the then-retired Brady broke the internet back on March 12 after the Manchester United star asked him if he was finished with football following a victory over Tottenham. The following day, Brady announced he would return for 23rd season, leading many to speculate that the future Hall of Famer’s chat with a fellow GOAT on the Old Trafford pitch inspired him to come back.
Months after the theory made the rounds, Ronaldo publicly addressed the rumor and the conversation during a recent interview with Piers Morgan of The Sun.
