Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

You can tell some people in here are obsessed with him. I love to make fun of Cristiano too but don't you realize it is ridiculous to do that after he scored 4 goals in one game?
I hate when people genuinely compare him to Messi but the biggest Messi fanboys on this forum are the first in here that come in this thread and talk about how Cristiano can not be compared to him after such a game.
 

6 Ballons for Messi

but what if he wins 7??
In this thread, we have a bunch of nobodies criticizing one of the best players of all time for 3 years non-stop.

Cristiano is one of the best players of all time as much as I'm a leading scientist in the field of astronautics.
You have to understand something, we don't underrate cristiano, you overrate him.
He's a great scorer, the numbers speak for themselves but that's it, he's not goat material. Tbh he shouldn't have 3 ballons to begin with, real's pr campaign gifted him 2 of them.

He's not that much worse than Gerd Muller or Eusebio and they are considered two of the greatest players of all time.

All I'm saying is that he isn't in goat category, gerd muller and eusebio that you mentioned aren't in this category either so I don't know what's the problem here.

And just like that he is back at #1 for Pichichi....

On the bright side, this will hopefully make him stay another season at the Bernabeu

There really isn't a problem here, because I don't really care about your goat or sheep category. I got my own and so do most other people. Top 15-20 is enough to get in that category for me. Most other people will also disagree with your evaluation.

How can you compare Maldini with Iniesta gor example? You cant really compare players in a way to rank them fairly. Especially from different era's and positions.
All you can say Ronaldo is #1/2 best goalscorer of this era.

Does this problem only arise when trying to decide if Cristiano is good enough or not?

I guess there's no way to say that Messi is one of the greatest of all time either. Can't really compare players in different positions and different eras. All we can say is that Messi is the best forward of this era.

It seems you just can't comprehend what goat means.
It applies to people which you can point your finger at and say "that man is the best in the history of the sport", now I don't know how many people you deem worthy of that title but for me it only applies to pele, maradona, cruijff and messi and certainly not to cristiano.
I think any sensible fan of the sport agrees with me and only fanbois would put cristiano in that category.

I think any sensible fan of the English language would understand that there is a difference between "one of the greatest players of all time" and "greatest of all time".

What are the shots to goal ratios of the top strikers in Europe? Given Ronaldo takes far more shots than anyone else and has more chances than any other player.
