Says the man who just claimed one of the greatest strikers in the history of the game - if not the greatest - doesn't have a patch on CR7. Confused
 
I have no problem admiting to disliking CR7 for a number of obvious enough reasons, but I can still accept he is an outstanding player. I would argue however that he should not be considered amongst the all time greats - i.e Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, Messi etc.

Messi's record is as impressive! If not better. 68 in 70 or something like that



101 goals in 154 games for barca


Not detracting from Ronaldo's record, but Messi broke into the team at a very young age.

People envy my cash and looks - Ronaldo

(Reuters) - Opposing fans give Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo a hostile reception because he is "rich, handsome and a great player," the Portuguese said after Wednesday's 1-0 Champions League win at Dinamo Zagreb.

Ronaldo, the world's most expensive signing, was roundly booed and whistled during the Group D opener in Croatia and was also the target of some robust challenges, one of which drew blood on his right ankle and required several stitches.

The 26-year-old was unhappy with referee Svein Oddvar Moen and said top players were not getting enough protection.

"We are very happy with three points we took, but I'm not so satisfied with the refereeing," he told reporters.

"I hope we never have this referee again. People talk of fair-play, of protecting good players, but I never get any of that. I don't understand a thing.

"I'm sad because I hear referees saying they will protect skilful players, but while some are untouchable it seems I can be mauled."

Ronaldo was asked about the behaviour of the Dinamo fans, who gave him the kind of unfriendly reception he endures week in week out in La Liga and chanted the name of his Barcelona rival and World Player of the Year Lionel Messi.

"I think that because I am rich, handsome and a great player people are envious of me," he said. "I don't have any other explanation."

Argentine winger Angel Di Maria scored for Jose Mourinho's side in the 53rd minute as Real began their quest for a 10th title in Europe's elite club competition.

Since 2009 messi has 106 goals in 114 games. 
                  Ronaldo has 91 in 94 games.

Both unreal records and it looks like there both going to have 40 or 50 plus goals again this season.

(Brazilian) Ronaldo was one of the greatest forwards of all time , he also won 2 World Cups , countless honours at club level & not to mention he played in a time where the standard of player was alot better than that of today when he was in his prime!!! The calibre of player 10/15 years ago is astonishing compared to now considering you had the likes of  Zidane , Keane , Figo , Maldini , Stam , Van Der Sar , Schmeichel , Desailly , Bergkamp , Rivaldo , Scholes , Romario , Hagi , Hierro , Batistuta , Suker , Cafu ,  Thuram , Cannavaro , Davids etc etc along with the likes of Nesta , Giggs ,  Henry , Carlos etc etc all in their prime can be classed as World Class!!

Who is truely in those players class bar the likes of Messi , Ronaldo , Xaxi , Iniesta & Rooney nowadays????
 
Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player but he has abit to go before he gets to Ronaldo luis nazario de lima level imo Wink

Confused Yes thats easy to say 10/15 years later. In 10/15 years time another person will be saying the exact same thing about the current crop of players and that the players of the day are not like they were back in the day. Im fooking sick of football fans being slaves to the past. Footballers now a days are stronger, fitter, faster, smarter and more talented than they were 10/15 years ago. In 10/15 years time players will be stronger, fitter, faster, smarter and more talented than they are now. Football must be the only sport around that does not believe in evolution.

Evolution is incremental over thousands of years - this is just good practice in the short term
