He's a top player and a superstar. No one is in the Messi-Ronaldo bracket; those two are by far the top two players of their generation.
I agree about Messi but I honestly dont think Ronaldo is as great as the media suggest.. He is definitely WC and obviously is one of the best players in the world but lets take R.Madrid for instance I think Bale is as important as him.. maybe even more.. Bale is a player who takes the team on his back Sanchez (although not as good as Ronaldo) is a player that takes his team on his back.. Ronaldo is great however he isnt such a player!
If I had to choose 5 players to sign for Juve - Messi would be the first choice obviously but you wont see Ronaldo as second maybe not even third or fourth.. Id go and pick Bale over Ronaldo for my team..
Its funny all this Messi vs Ronaldo competition about who is better while its quite obvious IMO Messi is far the better player but I must say Ronaldo is far more of a winner than Messi! He reminds me of Kobe Bryant in this sense

There aren't many players ever close to those two, if you measure talent, output and longevity. I'd say only Zidane in the last 25 years, and he never had the benefit of being able to get those kind of scoring numbers.

If you just take the last 25 years you had the likes of Baggio, Ronaldo, Romario, Ronaldinho, Figo, Henry, Pirlo, Buffon and all these other great names, but Messi and Ronaldo, no matter how or why people like or dislike them are a very small category.

Dybala, with the absolute best career he could have, will probably only get into that second list of players. But then so almost certainly will the current new generation of big talents, including Neymar, Pogba and the others.

Brazilian Ronaldo was twice the player Ronaldo is mabe even triple .the way he humiliated those defenders of great Calcio era was just pure art. Unfortunately he always suffered from knee injuries but even those didn't stop him from winning WC.

That's why I said talent and longevity. For me Ronaldo is the best CF I've seen by a bit of a distance, but injuries and fitness (Brazilians lol).

Who knows what Del Piero would have been like without his serious injury. Baggio also suffered badly with his knees from the day he turned pro until the day he retired.

heh I'd take ronaldinho over messi + cr7 24/7, it's not even close... dinho at his best was literal god among mortals, the tricks he performed at that time were out of this world, and he did them with substances not just for flashy.

Not the same kind of longevity though. He arrived as world class in 2002 and was dead by 2008, early 20s to late 20s. Please read what I've already posted.

And I agree, Ronaldinho at his peak was probably the best player to watch for a very long time, he and Zidane (albeit differently).

Dinho is GOAT. Complete trophy cabinet, wrecked havoc for 6 years. Nobody, absolutely nobody can pull of a third of what he was able to do. Man was ridiculously complete, and he wanted to become a ref as a kid :touched:
