That's where he starts out but he plays as a forward.
But if you look at all the goalscoring wingers from the couple years back in Robben, Ribery etc. to the current ones in Salah, Sterling, Manem Mbappe, Hazard etc they all ended up being in the box, when they scored a goal. Robben had that his trademark cutting inside type of thing, Salah is often seen in the box, Sterling plays secondary striker at the times, Mbappe as well. That's just how the game evolves, there ain't just "wingers" anymore, you're required to score from the wings as well and you ain't doing it from the corner flag, you need to get into better scoring positions and that's what Ronaldo does as well.

Thanks, I couldn’t remember any incredible wing players besides nedved and camo. wasn’t sure if someone had slipped through the cracks

Watching today’s match it was pretty clear that the attack would benefit from better wide play, especially if sarri insists on those quick 1,2s in the final third
