Really?? You have football knowledge more than a GOAT of defender!! Man united defence GOAT??

Which aspect of football do you know more than him??

Attack, midfield, defence goalkeeping, management, dressing room, transfer, training, form, diet, contribution?? C'mon..

Even football journalist know that they are mere analyst and theorist... They will never have 10% knowledge of what football profession entails compared to the real professionals !!!

Sorry to say, Osimhen knows football more than me and you!!! Let alone GOAT of Man united defence like Ferdinand!! You are very funny

You don't call a GOAT stupid pls.. He is better than all Nigerian defender in history combined!!! Familiarity breeds contempt tho!

I think Ferdinand has a salient point.. How come his opinion captures some of my observations even before he granted that interview??

Am I a jealous former Man united defender too??

If Harry Kane score 50goals+, 20assist+, win the EPL, European Golden shoe, UCL Golden shoe, he would win the UEFA best player award hands down despite losing UCL semi final...
Messi is a victim of his usual greatness!!!

A defender should win it now, they say (following Modric emergence last time!)

Cruzeiro
"The first time I saw him play was at Cruzeiro. He was still a kid. It was in a game where he ended up scoring five goals. From that point on he showed he was truly a phenomenon."
—Brazilian defender Cafu on 17-year-old Ronaldo.[15]
In 1993, Ronaldo began his football career playing for Cruzeiro.[16] Aged 16, he made his professional debut on 25 May 1993 against Caldense in the Minas Gerais State Championship.[16] Ronaldo came to national public attention on 7 November 1993, scoring five goals in the game against Bahia.[17]
Ronaldo scored 44 goals in 47 games with Cruzeiro, leading them to their first Copa do Brasil in 1993, and the Minas Gerais State Championship in 1994.[18] Before joining Cruzeiro, he was turned down by Flamengo, the team he supported as a boy, after missing practice due to an inability to afford the fare for the hour-long bus ride, but Jairzinho saw Ronaldo's potential and helped get him the move to Cruzeiro.[10][19]
PSV Eindhoven
Ronaldo chose to join PSV after the 1994 World Cup. He was selected for the tournament despite being just 17, but did not play in any games. It was Romário who advised Ronaldo to move to PSV; Romário having played for PSV from 1988 to 1993.[20] Ronaldo scored 30 league goals in his first season in the Netherlands.[21] After scoring a hat-trick in PSV's game against Bayer Leverkusen in the 1994–95 UEFA Cup, Leverkusen striker and Germany World Cup winner Rudi Völler stated in a post match press conference, "Never in my life have I seen an 18-year-old play in this way."[20] His dribbles from midfield caught the attention of many in the sport, with future Barcelona teammate Luis Enrique stating, "I’d seen him on television at PSV and thought ‘wow’. Then he came to Barcelona. He's the most spectacular player I’ve ever seen. He did things I'd never seen before. We’re now used to seeing Messi dribble past six players, but not then. Ronaldo was a beast."[22]
Nick Miller, match reporter for The Guardian, writes, "What’s striking about Ronaldo in that first year at PSV is how complete he looks, even as a skinny teenager. Everything that would come to define him – the lightning pace, the blurry stepovers, the implausible impression that he was faster with the ball than without it, even the exceptional upper-body strength – was all there."[20] Rob Smyth added, "In many ways Ronaldo was the first PlayStation footballer. His stepover was a form of hypnosis, and his signature trick, the elastico, could certainly have come from a computer screen."[23] Ronaldo's second season was marred by a knee injury which kept him out of most of the campaign, but he still averaged nearly a goal a game, scoring 19 goals in 21 appearances.[20] With PSV, Ronaldo won the Dutch Cup in 1996 and he was Eredivisie top scorer in 1995.[21] During his two seasons at the club he scored 54 goals in 58 games.[24]
Barcelona
Ronaldo scoring the winning penalty for Barcelona in the 1997 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final against Paris Saint-Germain
During his spell at PSV, Ronaldo attracted the attention of both Inter Milan and FC Barcelona. It was Barcelona that was willing to pay the then world record fee of $19.5 million.[24] During the 1996–97 season, Ronaldo scored 47 goals in 49 games in all competitions, with his goal celebration invariably the same with his arms outstretched like the statue of Christ the Redeemer that watches over his native Rio de Janeiro.[24] He led the Catalan side to UEFA Cup Winners' Cup triumph where he capped the season with the winning goal in the cup final, and to Copa del Rey and Supercopa de España wins.[25] He also won La Liga top scorer award in 1997 with 34 goals in 37 games, and the European Golden Shoe.[26] Until the 2008–09 season, Ronaldo remained the last player to score more than 30 goals in La Liga.[26]
"He was physical perfection, and he seemed like a mythical figure. I love [Lionel] Messi, I played many times with Cristiano [Ronaldo] and I adore him, Neymar is outstanding, Ronaldinho was exceptional—but if you put all of them together, you might get what Ronaldo was that season."
—Quinton Fortune remembers playing against Ronaldo in the 1996–97 season.[27]
Ronaldo was at his physical peak at Barcelona, and many of his 47 goals involved him rounding the goalkeeper before slotting the ball into the net.[24] Óscar García, Ronaldo's teammate that season, stated, "Back then, he was all fibre and muscle. He was a perfect physical specimen. Such incredible power matched to his technical skills could make him unstoppable."[27] Atletico Madrid's Quinton Fortune, who played against Ronaldo three times that season – Ronaldo scored eight goals – including having to mark him once, stated, "I saw him after the match finished, and that’s the nearest I was to Ronaldo on the night. As a kid, I wanted to be Pelé. I bought all the books, all the videos and I studied what it could be like to be the best. I set off on that path. Then I met Ronaldo. Some players were technical, some were quick, some were strong, some were smart...Ronaldo was all of those. He was a beast; it was unfair to everyone else."[27] José Mourinho, who worked as an interpreter at Barcelona, referred to Ronaldo as "the greatest player I have ever seen in my life", adding, "I have no doubts. Ronaldo is the best my eyes have seen",[28] and in 2014 regarded him as the best player post-Diego Maradona.[29]
Arguably Ronaldo's most memorable Barcelona goal was scored at SD Compostela on 11 October 1996.[24] Having received the ball inside his own half, he evaded a cynical tackle of the first opponent with a drag back, before running away from another and ran towards goal where he went past two more defenders in the box with close ball control, and then slotted the ball into the bottom corner of the net.[24] The camera then cut to Barcelona manager Bobby Robson who had got up off the bench and clasped his head in disbelief at what he had seen.[24] The footage of the goal was later used in a Nike advert with a voiceover asking: "Imagine you asked God to be the best player in the world, and he listened to you".[24] The day after the goal, the headline in the Spanish newspaper AS read: 'Pelé returns'.[24] A hat-trick against Valencia, the third goal of which saw him dissect two Valencia defenders before striking the ball into the net, saw Barcelona fans waving white handkerchiefs as an expression of admiration for an exceptional performance.[30] Such was the manner Ronaldo ran through opposing defences, former Real Madrid forward Jorge Valdano commented; "he's not a man, he's a herd".[23] Sid Lowe of Sports Illustrated states, "That season Ronaldo was unstoppable. He was slim and powerful, skillful, fast and deadly. He was ridiculously good."[31] At the end of 1996, aged 20, Ronaldo became the youngest player to win FIFA World Player of the Year.[24]
Inter Milan
1997–99: World record transfer and Ballon d'Or win
Ronaldo's time at Barcelona lasted one season, as there were problems with the renegotiation of his contract.[24] Barcelona thought the talking was over having agreed a new long term contract with the best player in the world until 2006, as Barcelona president Josep Lluís Núñez declared; "He's ours for life".[24] However, when the parties reconvened to finalise the deal the following day, the agreement collapsed, with Núñez admitting: "It's all over, Ronaldo is going".[24] Speaking to ESPN, Ronaldo stated, "The experience [at Barcelona] was wonderful and I had reached an agreement to renew my contract just a month before that season finished, but a week later the lawyer and the president of Barcelona agreed that that contract was absurd."[32] Paying the buy out clause fee in his contract, Inter Milan signed him in the summer of 1997 for a then world record fee of $27 million, making him the second player, after Diego Maradona, to break the world transfer record twice.[24][23]
Ronaldo at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival
Ronaldo adapted to the Italian style of the game in his first season, finishing with 25 Serie A goals, and was named Serie A Footballer of the Year.[33] Ronaldo started to develop into a complete forward. He began racking up assists, became first-choice penalty taker, taking and scoring freekicks. Halfway through his first season he won FIFA World Player of the Year for the second time, and collected the Ballon d'Or.[34] During his time with Inter, he scored several goals against city rivals A.C. Milan in the Derby della Madonnina. Ronaldo and prolific Fiorentina striker Gabriel Batistuta were the two best strikers in Serie A, with their duels the most anticipated in Italy.[35] Ronaldo's goal celebrations often saw his Inter teammates congratulating him by kneeling down and pretending to shine his shoe.[36] Ronaldo scored a trademark goal against Lazio in the 1998 UEFA Cup Final. Running through defence to go one on one with Lazio goalkeeper Luca Marchegiani, Ronaldo feinted to go right then left, without touching the ball, leaving Marchegiani on his backside, before going right and slotting the ball into the net.[37] His Inter teammate Youri Djorkaeff stated; "Ronaldo was phenomenal. He proved that he was a cut above the rest that season."[37] After the 1998 FIFA World Cup, where he was named player of the tournament, Ronaldo was widely regarded as the best striker in the world.[23][38] By the end of the 1998–1999 season, he was appointed Inter Milan captain.[39]
1999–2002: Recurring injury problems
"The knee injuries suffered at Inter Milan took away the explosiveness that made him possibly the greatest young footballer of all time, a futuristic fusion of speed, strength and skill. That is not to belittle Ronaldo’s achievements in the second half of his career, when he scored eight goals in a single World Cup [in 2002] and became the first Ronaldo to receive a standing ovation at Old Trafford [in 2003], but it is the memory of the early years that puts mist in the eyes of grown men."
—Rob Smyth, The Guardian.[23]
After two seasons with Inter, A. C. Milan defender Paolo Maldini viewed Ronaldo and Diego Maradona as the two best players he ever faced, stating, "Ronaldo during his first two years at Inter was a phenomenon."[40] Inter had high hopes going into the 1999–2000 season with their attack including Ronaldo and Italian stars Roberto Baggio and Christian Vieri.[41] However, on 21 November 1999, during a Serie A match against Lecce, Ronaldo felt his knee buckle and was forced to limp off the field.[42] A medical examination confirmed that the striker had ruptured a tendon in his knee and would require surgery.[42] During his first comeback on 12 April 2000, he played only six minutes during the first leg of the Coppa Italia final against Lazio before suffering a complete rupture of the knee-cap tendons.[43][44][45] As Ronaldo fell to the ground clutching his knee, Lazio players including Diego Simeone ran over to help him, and fans of both teams applauded him as he was stretchered off the field.[46] News of his injury met with almost universal despair among people in the sport.[46]
Ronaldo's recurring injury problems forced him to miss the entire 2000–01 season and much of the two seasons either side of it.[47] Since Ronaldo's teammate Javier Zanetti had replaced him as the team captain during his absence, he eventually inherited the captain's band in late 2001.[48] After two operations and months of rehabilitation, Ronaldo came back for the 2002 World Cup, helping Brazil win their fifth World Cup title. Later in 2002, he won the FIFA World Player of the Year award for the third time, and transferred from Inter to Real Madrid.[34] Ronaldo was given his most recognizable nickname, Il Fenomeno, by the Italian press while playing there.[10][23] His Inter teammate Djorkaeff stated, "when we were training, we would practically stop to watch him. It was extraordinary."[49] Prior to his November 1999 injury Ronaldo had registered 42 goals in 58 Serie A games, in what was the hardest league to score in with the most advanced defensive strategies and the world's best defenders.[50][51] After five years he had played 99 games and scored 59 goals for Nerazzurri.[34] Ronaldo's performances at the club – especially the first two seasons before injury – saw him named among the four inaugural inductees into the Inter Milan Hall of Fame in 2018.[52][53]

day.[54] Ronaldo was part of the Galácticos era of global stars signed by the club every summer, which included Zinedine Zidane, Luís Figo, Roberto Carlos and David Beckham.[55] He was sidelined through injury until October 2002 which added to the fans anticipation.[56] Ronaldo scored twice on his debut against Alavés, the first 61 seconds after coming on, and he received a standing ovation at the Santiago Bernabéu as he left the field.[56] That same reception was observed at the final game of the season against Athletic Bilbao, where Ronaldo scored to finish his first season with 23 league goals and seal La Liga title for 2003.[6] He also won an Intercontinental Cup in 2002 and Spanish Super Cup in 2003, scoring in both finals.[6]
Ronaldo taking a shot for Real Madrid, 2 March 2005
In the second leg of Real Madrid's Champions League quarter-final, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick against Manchester United at Old Trafford, knocking the English team out of the competition.[57] Ronaldo was substituted on 80 minutes and was given a standing ovation from both sets of fans.[57] Reflecting on the ovation given to him from the opposition's fans, Ronaldo stated, "For me it remains a very beautiful, very special moment."[58] He scored in a 2–1 home win over Juventus in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, but injury crucially kept him out of most of the second leg defeat where Real were eliminated.[59] In the 2003–04 season, Madrid were on track to win the treble, until Ronaldo was injured towards the end of the season; they subsequently lost the Copa del Rey final, were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals to AS Monaco, and suffered a league form breakdown.[60][61] During that second season at the club, Ronaldo scored one of the fastest goals in the club's history when he netted after 15 seconds in a league match against Atlético Madrid at the Bernabéu on 3 December 2003.[62] Three days later he helped to ensure Real's first league victory over Barcelona at the Nou Camp in 20 years when he scored the second goal in a 2–1 victory over his former club.[59] He finished the season as La Liga's top scorer with 25 goals and received the Pichichi Trophy for a second time, despite Madrid losing the league title to Valencia.[26]
2005–2007: Final two seasons
"He [Ronaldo] was more talented [than Cristiano Ronaldo] and if he took care of himself like the Portuguese does, his performances would have been even more incredible."
—Fabio Capello on Ronaldo’s weight issues at Madrid.[63]
In his final two seasons at Real Madrid, Ronaldo missed a number of games with injuries and weight issues, and with the acquisition of Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2006, he grew further out of favour with the manager Fabio Capello.[3] Speaking in 2017 on Ronaldo's weight issues and lack of fitness at Madrid, in addition to his ability, Capello summed up the conflicting emotions he has with the Brazilian, "the most difficult player to handle was the best I coached: Ronaldo, il Fenomeno."[64] In four and a half seasons at the club, Ronaldo scored over a century of goals, becoming the fifth foreigner at Madrid to achieve the feat after Argentine Alfredo Di Stéfano, Hungarian Ferenc Puskás, Mexican Hugo Sánchez and Chilean Iván Zamorano.[65] Although the
knee injuries before 2002 meant he "was robbed of the explosiveness of his early years" by the time he signed for Real Madrid, Ronaldo was named by Marca as a member of the "Best foreign eleven in Real Madrid's history".[43][66]
While past his 1990s prime, Ronaldo still drew praise from his Madrid colleagues, with Zidane stating, "Without hesitation, Ronaldo is the best player I ever played with or against. He had such an ease with the ball. Every day I trained with him, I saw something different, something new, something beautiful."[67] Michael Owen, who joined Madrid in 2004, acknowledged that he never got the chance to play with Ronaldo in his prime when "he had absolute blistering speed and strength, mesmerizing foot speed, he was just a blur, he’d be that fast", before adding, "even in training, he showed more than enough to convince me that I would have loved to play with him at his peak."[68] Teammates for six months, Van Nistelrooy said, "Ronaldo was the best natural talent I ever played with. His innate ability went beyond anything that I’d ever seen or played alongside."[69][70]
A.C. Milan

On 18 January 2007, it was reported that Ronaldo agreed terms with A.C. Milan for a transfer of €8.05 million.[71] Departing Real Madrid having been the club's leading goalscorer for all of his four full seasons, Ronaldo thanked everyone except Capello, "I would like to thank the fans who've supported me all the time and thank all the teammates that I've had here and all the coaches I've had – except one".[72] Capello, who dropped him due to weight issues, commented, "I wish him the best of luck in doing what he used to do which is being a great player."[72] On 25 January, Ronaldo flew from Madrid to Milan, with statements on the club's website stating Ronaldo was in Milan for a medical, and that a meeting had been arranged with Real Madrid officials to discuss and finalize his transfer to the Milanese club.[73] On 26 January, Ronaldo successfully completed his medical tests at the Milanello training complex under the supervision of club doctors, and the transfer was completed on 30 January.[74] Wearing the number 99 jersey, he made his debut as a substitute on 11 February 2007 in the 2–1 victory over Livorno.[75] The next game at Siena, on 17 February, Ronaldo scored twice and assisted on a third goal in his first start for Milan, as they won 4–3.[76] In his first season, Ronaldo scored seven goals in 14 appearances.[42]
Ineligible to play having signed for the club mid season, Ronaldo (standing sixth from left) celebrated the 2007 UEFA Champions League triumph with his A.C. Milan teammates.
After his move to Milan, Ronaldo joined the list of the few players to have played for both Inter Milan and A.C. Milan in the Derby della Madonnina, and is one of two players to have scored for both rival teams in the Milan derby game (for Inter in the 1998–99 season and for A.C. Milan in the 2006–07 season), the other player being Zlatan Ibrahimović.[77] Ronaldo is also one of the few players to have started for Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, which also boasts a heated rivalry.
Ronaldo, however, has never transferred directly between rival clubs. Ronaldo only played 300-plus minutes in his single season at Milan due to recurring injury problems and weight issues.[78] Ronaldo's only goals in the 2007–08 season, besides his goal against Lecce in pre-season, came in a 5–2 victory against Napoli at the San Siro, where he scored an emotional double.[79] It was also the first time Milan's much hyped attacking trio of Kaká, Alexandre Pato and Ronaldo, known as Ka-Pa-Ro, played together.[80]
Despite tremendous success over the past decade, Ronaldo has never won the UEFA Champions League in his club career.[81] FourFourTwo magazine named him the best player never to win it.[82] Paul Wilson in The Guardian writes, "Ronaldo was unlucky in his timing or his choice of club – for there is no doubt that at his very best he would have walked into any club in the world.[3] During the 2006–07 season, though Milan won the 2006–07 title, Ronaldo was cup-tied with Madrid and ineligible to take part.[83][84] The closest that he has been to Champions League success was in 2003 when he helped Real Madrid to the semi-finals, in which they lost to Juventus.[85]
On 13 February 2008, Ronaldo suffered a severe season-ending knee injury while jumping for a cross in Milan 1–1 draw with Livorno, and was stretchered off and taken to a hospital.[86] The club confirmed after the match that Ronaldo had ruptured the kneecap ligament in his left knee. It marked the third such occurrence of this injury, which he suffered twice to his right knee in 1999 and 2000.[87] Teammate Clarence Seedorf stated, "My heart stopped beating because it was like watching a repeat of the injury he suffered playing for Inter Milan against Lazio [in 2000]. His reaction was the same."[88] Silvio Berlusconi told Italy's RAI TV, "He fears for his career. I called him last evening and told him to believe in himself. He has enormous physical potential."[87] Ronaldo was released by Milan at the end of the season, as his contract expired and was not renewed.[89][90]
Corinthians
2009–2010: Paulistão and Copa do Brasil
Ronaldo holding his ankle in 2010. The injury was the latest for a striker who suffered serious knee injuries which hampered his career in the 2000s.
Ronaldo trained with Rio de Janeiro based Brazilian club Flamengo during his recovery from knee surgery, and the club's board of directors said that the doors were open for him to join.[91][92] On 9 December, however, Ronaldo signed a one-year deal with Flamengo's league rival Corinthians.[93] The announcement received much publicity in the Brazilian press about his choice of Corinthians over Flamengo, since Ronaldo publicly declared himself a Flamengo fan.[89] Rio-based sports newspaper Lance! called Ronaldo a "phenomenal traitor", and some angry fans burned Ronaldo shirts outside the Flamengo headquarters.[93] Ronaldo responded that playing for Corinthians was the only option open to him. "I understand perfectly, I'm openly a Flamengo fan. But I was training with Flamengo for four months and didn't receive any offer. Corinthians made an offer that will let me continue my career."[93]
Ronaldo played his first match for Corinthians on 4 March 2009, a Copa do Brasil match against Itumbiara at Estádio Juscelino Kubitschek, in which he came as a substitute for Jorge Henrique.[94] Ronaldo scored his first goal for Corinthians on 8 March 2009 in a Campeonato Paulista match against Palmeiras.[95] Scoring eight goals in nine matches, his form led to calls for his return to the Brazil national team – nearly 70% of respondents in a poll for the Globo newspaper voted that he should be reinstated, with the country's president Lula also calling for his immediate return.[96] He scored twice in a 3–1 win against local rivals Santos in the first leg of the state championship final, with Santos idol Pelé looking on from the stands. His second goal, a chip over the Santos goalkeeper from 30 yards out, sent the Corinthians fans into hysteria.[96] Ultimately, he helped Corinthians win the Campeonato Paulista with 10 goals in 14 games.[97]
Ronaldo greets fans at the Emirates Stadium in London in March 2011, one month after announcing his retirement.
Ronaldo scored in Corinthians 4–2 aggregate defeat of Internacional in the final of the 2009 Copa do Brasil, helping the club win the trophy for the third time (the second of his career), thus earning a spot in the Copa Libertadores 2010.[98][99] Following an injury lay off he returned on 20 September in a match against Goiás, and a week later scored for Corinthians in a draw against São Paulo FC. He finished the Brazilian Serie A 2009 with 12 goals in 20 matches.[100] In February 2010, Ronaldo signed a contract extension with Corinthians that would keep him with the club until the end of 2011, and said he would then retire.[101][102]

You don't call a GOAT stupid pls.. He is better than all Nigerian defender in history combined!!! Familiarity breeds contempt tho!

I think Ferdinand has a salient point.. How come his opinion captures some of my observations even before he granted that interview??

Am I a jealous former Man united defender too??

If Harry Kane score 50goals+, 20assist+, win the EPL, European Golden shoe, UCL Golden shoe, he would win the UEFA best player award hands down despite losing UCL semi final...
Messi is a victim of his usual greatness!!!

A defender should win it now, they say (following Modric emergence last time!)

Bro , was he the only defender playing those times. He is the only defender saying such . VVD deserves it , if it were platini n Blatter they would have given their boy again na. VVD played his role well , thats why he was given period , what Ferdinand saying . Its just jealousy from him . Messi did well too individually last season, same with VVD but VVD deserves it more. Cus his efforts and those of his teammates brought ucl, n reaching uefa national finals, his stat and all that .... he tried. If messi deserves it more to you Then VVD to me simple. Tot you still say messi better than r9.

Delima nazario Ronaldo

day.[54] Ronaldo was part of the Galácticos era of global stars signed by the club every summer, which included Zinedine Zidane, Luís Figo, Roberto Carlos and David Beckham.[55] He was sidelined through injury until October 2002 which added to the fans anticipation.[56] Ronaldo scored twice on his debut against Alavés, the first 61 seconds after coming on, and he received a standing ovation at the Santiago Bernabéu as he left the field.[56] That same reception was observed at the final game of the season against Athletic Bilbao, where Ronaldo scored to finish his first season with 23 league goals and seal La Liga title for 2003.[6] He also won an Intercontinental Cup in 2002 and Spanish Super Cup in 2003, scoring in both finals.[6]
Ronaldo taking a shot for Real Madrid, 2 March 2005
In the second leg of Real Madrid's Champions League quarter-final, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick against Manchester United at Old Trafford, knocking the English team out of the competition.[57] Ronaldo was substituted on 80 minutes and was given a standing ovation from both sets of fans.[57] Reflecting on the ovation given to him from the opposition's fans, Ronaldo stated, "For me it remains a very beautiful, very special moment."[58] He scored in a 2–1 home win over Juventus in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, but injury crucially kept him out of most of the second leg defeat where Real were eliminated.[59] In the 2003–04 season, Madrid were on track to win the treble, until Ronaldo was injured towards the end of the season; they subsequently lost the Copa del Rey final, were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals to AS Monaco, and suffered a league form breakdown.[60][61] During that second season at the club, Ronaldo scored one of the fastest goals in the club's history when he netted after 15 seconds in a league match against Atlético Madrid at the Bernabéu on 3 December 2003.[62] Three days later he helped to ensure Real's first league victory over Barcelona at the Nou Camp in 20 years when he scored the second goal in a 2–1 victory over his former club.[59] He finished the season as La Liga's top scorer with 25 goals and received the Pichichi Trophy for a second time, despite Madrid losing the league title to Valencia.[26]
2005–2007: Final two seasons
"He [Ronaldo] was more talented [than Cristiano Ronaldo] and if he took care of himself like the Portuguese does, his performances would have been even more incredible."
—Fabio Capello on Ronaldo’s weight issues at Madrid.[63]
In his final two seasons at Real Madrid, Ronaldo missed a number of games with injuries and weight issues, and with the acquisition of Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2006, he grew further out of favour with the manager Fabio Capello.[3] Speaking in 2017 on Ronaldo's weight issues and lack of fitness at Madrid, in addition to his ability, Capello summed up the conflicting emotions he has with the Brazilian, "the most difficult player to handle was the best I coached: Ronaldo, il Fenomeno."[64] In four and a half seasons at the club, Ronaldo scored over a century of goals, becoming the fifth foreigner at Madrid to achieve the feat after Argentine Alfredo Di Stéfano, Hungarian Ferenc Puskás, Mexican Hugo Sánchez and Chilean Iván Zamorano.[65] Although the
knee injuries before 2002 meant he "was robbed of the explosiveness of his early years" by the time he signed for Real Madrid, Ronaldo was named by Marca as a member of the "Best foreign eleven in Real Madrid's history".[43][66]
While past his 1990s prime, Ronaldo still drew praise from his Madrid colleagues, with Zidane stating, "Without hesitation, Ronaldo is the best player I ever played with or against. He had such an ease with the ball. Every day I trained with him, I saw something different, something new, something beautiful."[67] Michael Owen, who joined Madrid in 2004, acknowledged that he never got the chance to play with Ronaldo in his prime when "he had absolute blistering speed and strength, mesmerizing foot speed, he was just a blur, he’d be that fast", before adding, "even in training, he showed more than enough to convince me that I would have loved to play with him at his peak."[68] Teammates for six months, Van Nistelrooy said, "Ronaldo was the best natural talent I ever played with. His innate ability went beyond anything that I’d ever seen or played alongside."[69][70]

How many UCL?? Nothing!!!
Despite all the galacticos, he could not score more than 20+ goals in a 'weak' league!! It was a non-competitive era tho.. How can someone scoring 26 La liga goals win the Pichichi... That is not a great stat... Despite having Guti, Beckham, Zizou, Raul, Figo, Carlos and other unselfish player in the squad!!!
Even his so called 37League goals in Barcelona was destroyed by Suarez who scored 40 League goals in 2016 season!!!
Ronaldo was excellent for country, but average for club especially after that injury... How could he not win even 1 UCL?? That is very very poor.. Did he want his Brazilian teamates at club level too??


Ronaldinho said(after receiving his Ballon d'or in 2005), how can I be the best player in the world when I am not the best player in Barcelona
Can you guess which player Ronaldinho was referring to??

He is the highest goal scorer in the UCL!!
It is not possible to score in all games.. Stop dragging Messi unnecessarily. Other 100 million worth of players are not in Barcelona to sleep, they should score too. Suarez did not score in 10 straight UCL games.. You will not drag him because he is not a GOAT but he is the number 9 of the team...

How many key players of Liverpool scored at Anfield?? Salah? Firmino? Mane? VVD, the dribbling avoider??
C'mon Origi and Gini scored when it matter most...

That is a true definition of what teammates should do!!

You are accustomed to blaming Messi for everything..

He score 50 goals a season.. That is an average of 1.2goasl every Match but nobody in the entire history of football can score in all games!!

All the chances he created for Dembele in the first leg and Suarez in the 2nd Leg amount to nothing.. How is that his fault?? If Suarez is not on a goal drought, I am sure Messi is capable of 30 assist per season... That is a GOAT level!!
You can't hate the GOAT.. .

The moment I saw UEFA point for Mane, I knew that VVD is overhyped

So why don't you blame other Barcelona players who are unable to score despite the fact Messi have been scoring many goals to deliver the system set up Valverde!!
No true football fan will ever drag Messi because he is not a mere goal scorer.. Despite his GOAT stat in front of goals, he also produce World class Playmaker stats,
Suarez 10 UCL games drought is not even a topic to you.. You just want to drag the GOAT!!

Barcelona is performing poorly now in the League.. Someone like you will not say anything about Valverde, Barcelona players performances or quality of the league...

Suarez 10 UCL games drought is not even a topic to you.. You just want to drag the GOAT!!

Barcelona is performing poorly now in the League.. Someone like you will not say anything about Valverde, Barcelona players performances or quality of the league...

Once Messi comes back and start banging in goals, Criticism start.. .

What is a GOAT for??

Once again, Mane undervalued, VVD overhyped, Origi forgotten!!!

If he is a goat, was he sleeping when ordinary origi is scoring at Anfield or injured . A goat like you said with that stat like you said should have scored at least a goal at Anfield na. If messi didn't play the game at Anfield and liverpool still won 4nill , people like you will say its cus ur goat did not play. See you the one hyping him i beg, fifa which is football governing body can never, never call him a goat , its a slap to football am telling you. When Suarez was banging in goals when he came to barca you weren't complaining. Stop complaining i beg, liverpool played you guys without started firmino at comp nou and without salah at Anfield oooo . All this origi and gini is underated please are they playing in barca, liverpool is paying them na, for that job they did to barca , pls! Messi goat my foot. Goat ko cow ni, same with cr7 .... who gave him , who gave them the award. Those guys made football ugly, players now being so selfish emulating them , goals goals goals.
