Just overhead a couple kid talking how messi is the best footballer in the world and I face palmed. I used to hate trying to differentiate this two gods apart. But I have to claim that CR7 is indeed the best ever footballer.
Mentality: his strongest asset
When players like Messi or Neymar feels the pressure of being the main man to carry their national team, CR7 actually gets turned on by it. He takes this kinda scenario as a chance to further prove he is the best and enjoys the attention
Longevity:
Zidane, Pele (unproven folklore player), Maradona, Ronaldinho were all unplayable at their peak. BUT, did they maintain peak for 15 years straight, like CR7? NO. This guy evolved his game, and stayed at the top. Could you imagine he has been teammates of figo and dybala?
International:
This guy has proven himself on EPL, Spanish La Liga, and now Serie A. On top of that he won the euro with freaking Portugal! Even Figo could not do that.
Aesthetic:
Always spotting a groomed look, coupled with a Greek body. Has there been a top footballer that puts so much pride in it? Not even beckham have lats like CR7
Fitness:
This guy’s fitness is on 7% body fat. That’s the body fat level that only bodybuilders will have. Enough said.
