It's hard to speak about being the best player, what does it even mean?
Is Xavi better than Ronaldo?
Is Iniesta better than Ronaldo?
For me, they are, since both of them excite emotions every time I see them with the ball. Ronaldo just doesn't. Why? Because he just doesn't have that brilliance, the feel like it's easy. In fact he looks very rigid, stiff AND trained.
Suarez also. I like him as a player and as a person he seems really nice, very hard working fella, has a nose for a goal, but will never be nowhere near sheer brilliance of...say...Iniesta.
So in these aspects, from RM, Modric and Isco are my kind of players.

Ronaldo is terribly effective at what he does, we cannot overlook this. But at their peak, Iniesta and Xavi were definitely in the discussion of "best in the world" Ronaldo's brilliance has gone on for longer though.

Anyone else find Benzema much more entertaining to watch? He's not as efficient but more inventive and able to create chances for others. Ronaldo gets all the credit but Benzema does so much work for him.

I always say when we face RM that I fear more Benzema the Ronaldo. Ronaldo has a chance to prove himself tonight. I don't think he'll step up, but we'll see.
Ronaldo showed up when it most counted, yes I know he missed some gimmies and made poor decisions throughout the game and had it not been for his last assist to Chicharito I would have had a different opinion, but hats off to him even after all the fuck ups he did that didn't restrain him from being vital to his teams ending success.
Also hats off to him for assisting Chicharito, in that moment he could have taken all the glory for himself and shot past the goalkeeper but instead found the open Javier. So in a sense he did show up.

Have to see the replay again but it doesn't change the fact that he was the reason that chance of goal ever became to be.That even looked more like a lost ball than an intentional assist.

He was already on the ground, ready to start flailing his arms and weeping like a child, but he changed his mind when he saw that Chicharito got the ball.
Oh come on. That was an assist. And a nice pass that is.

It's clear on the replay. he sees chicharito and passes the ball.
Sometimes that Ronaldo hate makes some members write some golden bullshit.
6 Ballons for Messi
but what if he wins 7??
Cristiano did well to pass there instead of shooting but the goal belongs to james for that between-the-legs pass to cristiano.

Or he was very unselfish after his movement blew Ateltico wide open....
That goal was all about Ronaldo.
