Former Real Madrid and Barcelona winger, Luis Figo has said Cristiano Ronaldo is not at par with Portuguese legend Eusebio, even though he never saw the striker play.

Figo insists Ronaldo cannot yet be considered the best player Portugal has ever produced even though the 31-year old have won the Ballon d’Or thrice, scoring 488 goals in just 674 matches and won 12 major honours during his career with Manchester United and Real Madrid.

In an interview with Spanish newspaper AS, he said: “I admire Cristiano and I enjoy seeing his achievements.

“He just gets better every year. He’s making football history.

“But even though I never saw Eusebio play, I would put him at number one for everything he stands for, for the love he showed me, his friendship and his advice.

“Everyone will say that I say that for this reason or that reason but ultimately it’s just about respect. Everyone makes history in their own time.”

On the international level, Ronaldo has won 133 caps scoring 61 goals more than any other Portugal player.

The fact that Maradona won world cup for Argentina and Messi did not, makes Maradona to be better than Messi irrespective of the number of world best Messi has won.
The same thing applies to CR7. The fact that CR7 won European Championship for Portugal and also won 3 world best (still counting) for himself while Eusubio didn't win up to 3 world best for himself and no major trophy for his country makes CR7 to be mile away better than him.
That's the fact. Take it or leave it.

Winning bronze medal at the world cup is good as winning nothing in the present day football.
Asides that, CR7 also came 4th with Portugal in 2006 world cup in Germany. Now, he proceeded by winning European Championship this year with Portugal.
My dear, heavens know that CR7 is in thousandfold better than this guy called Eusebio. Don't be sentimental

Just quit it.

Ronaldo was voted last year as Portugal's greatest ever footballer by the Portuguese FA.

I guess you know more than Portuguese nationals then.

You don't have to like him but that doesn't warrant you berating his legacy.

Are you also jealous and sentimental like figo? even maradona who has achieved than figo respects messi. why shouldn't he respect a player that has shattered all his records for club and country. It is obvious he is praising Eusebio because of their close relationship. thats purely sentimental. has he scored the kind of goals ronaldo has scored even backing the post? don't lets overflogg it. messi supporters woul naturallyqueu behind figo on this one

Are you crazy?

Where did your judgment come from? Personal likeness I guess? No Portugal player ever measured up to CR7 and no one in sight to do so yet.

NB I'm an avid fan of Realmadrid since 2001
