he's a top 10 player all time (and possibly higher). he isn't gonna fall off a cliff as many expect.

Ronaldo and all of his fans are pretty insufferable.

Because they act like scoring a tap in is equal or better to a messi masterclass performance and jump on the marketing train towards a ballon d'or forgetting how shit he was for 6 months and will be post summer again.
Then if people get pissed how its an insult to even compare they hide their hands and cry how we cant enjoy both goats...

He relies heavily on his team creating countless chances after which he steals all praise. Its a ATG goalscorer with great positioning who is a crap player compared to Messi. Like comparing Inzaghi to Fenomeno or Gerd Müller to Cruyff.
The first goal wasn't really a tap-in though was it. It was a great first touch with great composure to line himself up for the finish which he put in the corner emphatically. Imagine if it was Benzema on the end of that ball..he probably would've miscontrolled it into the Eibar defender or missed the ball totally. The 2nd was typical Ronaldo style off-ball movement which very few in the game have mastered as well as he has. The ball was played into the box and he arrived later than everyone (like a ghost) to hammer it home with his head...not an accident or lucky.
In truth, Madrid are actually very dependant on Ronaldo for goals as almost no-one else on their team can score. Bale seems like he's not that interested and on his way out this summer while Benzema is beyond finished. Their season actually hinges on whether 33 year old CR can keep on producing which is embarrassing really. If he was in this sort of form earlier on in the season; they wouldn't be so far behind...which shows just how much they need to improve their attack in the summer to not be relying on a player almost in his mid 30s as their sole source of goals.

Yeah he’ll retire when he’s 40. He never gets hurt either. Pretty wild.
I have been saying for at least a year how much we rely on Ronaldo, Benzema is shit, Bale is at best inconsistent.
We have playmakers everywhere, but few to actually score the goals, the burden is almost entirely on Ronaldo.
Benzema has to go, or be on the bench next season, we need a real striker.

Actually, our record in La Liga and Copa is great, and in CL we beat him when we played against him. Our problems in CL weren't related to Ronaldo at all.
