You know what I find funny back in the day it was a consensus that Cruyff was better than Gerd Muller. Gerd Mueller scored at the same rate of Messi and CR7 but with even more crucial goals World Cup winning goals, however everyone knew Cruyff was a real magician and obviously the better player.
Now in this stat crazy world a freaking poacher (and an amazing one at that) is considered the greatest of all time

Ronaldo has serious claim for the title as greatest goalscorer of all time (him or Mueller) however to call him the goat or even top 3 is just buying into the hype.
