Ronaldo at Utd from 2007-2009 was the greatest player I've ever seen in the PL He was fast, agile, could score from distance, dangerous in the air and would score 90% of his FK He was the reason that Utd in 2007-2009 won 1 league cup 3 PL 1 UCL

Ronaldo is one of the most talented and natural player of this century and yes Messi do work hard go watch some football before commenting .

[@akhilharshan9500]

This one of the biggest myths i have ever heard. Like WTF, Messi becomes a goalscorer dribbler and playmaker in every match. Whereas ronaldo is a goalscorer. This is one of the reason why messi rarely has a bad game and has more than 100 MOTMs over ronaldo. But still messi is talent and ronaldo works harder in every match? Sad thing people even use this myth in the messi-ronaldo debate. Just becoz ronaldo is physically very stronger than messi doesnt make him a better hard worker. It is just common sense who works harder for a match when u analyse the heatmap of messi and ronaldo

CR7 aka Cristiano Ronaldo is an embodiment of dedication, total, devotion, discipline, self belief, desire to be the epitome, one who abhors mediocrity, defeating past legacies & perceived impossibilities, never say die attitude & character at its tip. His arrival from Lisbon, Portugal was one of a basic average player with potential. He defied the odds & has left an indelible mark in the annals of international soccer & sports. A true role model to us simple persons, non entities who seek success at the highest levels in life, any faculty whatsoever.! C.R.7 You are the GOAT.

Besides you should look at Ronaldo’s goal to game ratio after joining Madrid.. more goals than games.
