And CR7 having all of that but lacking the finesse and intricacy of Messi. Ronaldo had all of that. He was both of them rolled into one. Like @sne said, if it wasn't for injuries I think he'd be labelled as the best of all time. Ronaldo holds Luc Nilis as the best player he ever played with. And he played with the like of Figo, Romario, Zidane, Rivaldo, Djorkaeff and Raúl One of the biggest tragedies of this club that he got injured so soon here. Nilis was one of my favorite players and I was so excited when we signed him. even at that age he was fantastic.

maqroll Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Tragic that we were robbed of Nilis and that his career was wrecked. What ifs in sports can eat you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame especially as, although it was a horrific injury, you'd probably recover from that these days even at his age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Some solid goals here, and it's not like the Dutch league was crap. It's at around the times AJAX won the CL (95) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 He's definitely the best Ronaldo of all time. I'm not sure you can compare him to Messi though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure you can compare him to Messi though. I don’t think you can compare him to either CR7 or Messi, because of their longevity. But if you’re comparing them purely at their peak, then he’s definitely in the conversation with either of those two if you ask me.

kurtsimonw Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 On the subject of El Fenomeno.. His goal scoring record was just outrageous.Who knows just how many he'd have scored if not for those early 2000s injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
