Now in hindsight.... He was kind of overrated in his prime. More of a great, hungry athlete rather than a truely great footballer. Technically, Karim Benzema is better. A better dribller, a better passer, a better more clean technique. Oh, Ronaldo was great. One of the best headers ever. Not just in football but also for that Moroccan fella... well, we`ll leave that to the experts. No, he scored a ton of great goals with his head, could shoot with both of his feet, in his prime was an awesome freekick taker and could shoot those rockets from a distance. He was never a great dribbler. He always relied on his pace. He faced the opponent, always did those silly step-overs that never seemed to lead to anything (unlike with R9) and beat his opponents with his speed. He always kind of overachieved with what he really got. Now we see that Madrid never really fell apart that he left and that Karim Benzema has taken over and became very much the equal (if not better) than what Ronaldo ever was is kind of a coup de grace to Ronaldo`s legacy.
