Cristiano Ronaldo has declared Celtic Park as the stadium with the best atmosphere in the world, a remarkable endorsement from a player who has graced some of football’s most iconic venues.

The Manchester United and Real Madrid legend has competed at revered grounds such as Anfield, Old Trafford, the Santiago Bernabéu, Wembley, Camp Nou, San Siro, and Signal Iduna Park, yet he holds Celtic’s home ground in the highest regard.

Speaking to Celtic’s official website, the Portuguese superstar shared his admiration, stating:

“The Celtic fans are incredible. It is always great to play there.”

Ronaldo’s sentiment is echoed by his former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who has a deep appreciation for the atmosphere at Celtic Park, historically referred to as Parkhead. Reflecting on his experiences there with Manchester United and Aberdeen, Ferguson said:

“Parkhead is THE best I’ve experienced. The players were just talking about that the other day – Vidic and Ronaldo were saying it’s the best atmosphere they had ever played in. Credit to the supporters for that because they don’t half raise the roof. It’s obvious the Celtic players react to it given the results they’ve had. You are going to have to run that extra yard, or you will soon be found out by them.”

Both Ronaldo and Ferguson’s glowing tributes highlight the unique and electrifying energy that Celtic Park offers, cementing its reputation as one of football’s most iconic cauldrons of noise.
