He has a good argument
As a spurs fan my top 3 are Ronaldo, Henry and then it’s a free for all for the 3rd spot with Salah being one of them

Ronaldo vs Atlético Madrid, 2012
Most people remember the impressive comeback hat-trick vs Atlético Madrid with Juventus or the hat-trick vs Atlético in the UCL semi-final but in my opinion, Ronaldo’s best performance against the Madrid city rivals came in 2012. Not just the hat trick that consisted of 2 stunners but his overall game was on another world. My favourite individual performance ever.
This performance also greatly strengthened Madrid’s title charge giving them a 4 point lead on top, so the importance is also there.
KDB is a lot more attack minded however I feel Modric was the better player
Gonna get hate from Messi fans but I’ll say Messi
I think people focus way too much on goals and assists and then expect a CM in Modric to compete. Modric deserved it, he was a gem that season.
Ronaldo 2nd and I have no idea how Messi finished 5th
Euros, way more competitive and it doesn’t happen nearly as often. I don’t know why but it feels like the Copa America happens every other year
Messi stayed in Barcelona his whole career pretty much whereas Ronaldo became the best player in 3 different clubs, best player in the world in 2 different clubs and therefore naturally gained way more admiration from younger players/ fans.
Also while I do think this debate will go on forever, in my opinion Ronaldo is the face of football which adds to him being admired by more people.
As a spurs fan if you put prime Ramos, Modric and Kroos in that mid 2010s Chelsea team then they would most likely be pushing for a treble or quadruple
Spain 2010 was undoubtedly the greater team, as along with the WC they won the 2008 and 2012 euros with the same core players. However in a standalone game I feel Germany 2014 would take the win.
Attacking players? Maybe, I always felt that Ronaldo carried the attack of Madrid, especially during the 3 peat. As for players in general I would disagree. Ramos, Modric and Kroos were all better than Hazard in my opinion.
You shouldn’t praise Ronaldo on Reddit, you’ll get downvoted to oblivion
Exactly people on here seriously think having an ego as a manager is a bad thing
He also won a treble which is pretty important lmao
His stats were outrageous that year. The same could be said for Messi 2010
If people call Ronaldo 2013 as undeserved then Messi in 2010 is far more undeserved. Just saying
Maldini
Harry Kane would have won them the treble
I’m going to make a team I feel will win any game of football
GK: Neuer / LB: Maldini / CBs: Baresi & Nesta / RB: Lahm / CDM: Matthäus / CM: Zidane / CM: Pirlo/ LW: C Ronaldo / RW: Messi / ST: R9
I think Portugal will have a great tournament. I really like what Martínez has done with the team, hope Ronaldo ends his career on a high note
