Cristiano Ronaldo Says It's 'Annoying' Having to Prove Himself Every Season

Cristiano Ronaldo says it's annoying having to prove how good he is every season as he approaches the end of a fruitful first campaign with Juventus.

Some people consider the five-time Ballon d'Or winner to be the greatest player of all time, but he told ICON it can be tiresome to have to prove his quality year after year (h/tMarca):

"I won't deny that sometimes I get annoyed and tired because it seems as though every year I have to prove that I'm very good.

"It's difficult, you have extra pressure of having to prove something to people and it's not only for you, but your mother, your son.
