Let's not be revisionists, Cristiano absolutely is among the 10 best players of all time , if not Top4.

His decision NOT to retire from 2022 is hurting his legacy but what he did before 2021 is better than 99.9999999999% of all players in history bar exactly 3 Alien creatures that couldn't be compared whit mortals. (Messi , Pele and Maradona) .

Mind you Cristiano would have 12 Balandor if Messi didn't exist, and even if I'd argue Messi was the better player when Cristiano won it, without Messi Cristiano would be the undesputed best footballer of the century

I want to see Harry Kane confidence himself within the box of Argentina rather than running deep and not being available when Gordon is about to cross or pass the ball. I like Gordon and his immense contribution to the teams by not being selfish like Sorloth of Norway.

Cristiano is definitely not the GOAT but he is also definitely the second greatest of our generation. It's so sad to see him decline so much that disrespecting him is now the norm. It might sound harsh but retiring after the Nations league win would've saved his legacy.
@
Its just so dumb for people to look at what Cristiano or Messi can do today and keep debating this. The debate was settled at the end of their prime regardless of your preference.
@
And here they’re conversing Ronaldo in a goat conversation 😂…
@
What would deeney know about goat status?? Average striker at best bitter talking about better and greater players.

Romario himself said Cristiano Ronaldo sits at the top echelon of footballers a few days ago
The same opinion is openly expressed by Other legends like Zico,Ronaldo Nazario,Zidane,Pele,Maradona,Di Stefano,Gullit, Rooney etc

Why should opinion of some championship player matter?
@
The disrespect cr7 is getting from this Messi pundits is very disgraceful

The issue with Cristiano not retiring earlier is that he's showing how Messi is MUCH better than him as old players. Cristiano is letting Messi humiliate him at old age.
@
What sort of stupidity exists on your brain to even come up with this filth. Wow.. you just attack players just like that. Who are you? Who gives these people these platforms to disrespect legends in the game like that. We all should understand by now that there's Messi & Ronaldo then the rest of players you want to debate in whatever order you wish. And what is your talent? Critiquing other people's talent? You all are crazy!
@
Milwall? ... silly boy . He's being pointlessly contrarian. And he's bad at it
@
A goal keeper is as good as his defenders. How many keepers have been blessed by a solid back line. Is Neuer world class? He's in Germany.
@
Can you imagine an non-existent player, say that cr7 cannot be mentioned amongst the greatest player ever...can you imagine? He's rogue pundit.
@
Since ronaldo left madrid
They have won 2 champions league

Since Messi left barcelona they went to Europa league not once ij 17 years with Messi
@
Troy needs to go back to his level, league 1.
@
Is Jude Bellingham England’s best player at this World Cup?
