No. He’s not even the best Ronaldo ever. There are a number of players I’d have over him and Messi from the recent past.
If your talking about the best ever, then it really should be a list of very few...
For example,
Messi
Maradonna
Cruyff
C. Ronaldo
Pele ...maybe even Garrincha (some older Brazillians are adamant he was the better player)
Eusebio...
Beckenbaur
I mean, there realistically about a few hundred players over the years of football that can be considered technically brilliant. World class. The bes tof an era. However, I think if you give it thought, only a small list of ten can be considered to be the 'best ever'. Also, as with any of these greatest ever lists (even my mini list) is waaaay biased towards forwards and strikers.
For what it's worth, I think Messi and Christiano Ronaldo have to be in the discussion, they are the best players by a mile from our era. They are in their thirties now and are at te peak of their powers. For Ronaldo to do what he does at the age of 33 is remarkable. Maybe the top players are way more fitter in this age, but most of the other greats were on the downward after 30.
Ronaldo is a good shout, best player in the 90's for me, with his contempories at Barca Rivaldo, but there will always be that France 98 final where he went missing.
Moore? Best? Banks? Law? Schmeichel? Giggs? Maldini?
Maldini was brilliant, one of the best defenders ever. Best has to e up their too, shame he squandered his talent of alchoholism. I dont think a keeper can be classed as the best ever!
Why not? They’re as important as any other player.

Didn't something happen to Ronaldo just before that final, he collapsed or had some sort of fit?
He saw that weird haircut he had in the mirror and passed out !Didn't something happen to Ronaldo just before that final, he collapsed or had some sort of fit?
Precisely. Burrachaga and Valdano were pretty decent, but the rest of the Argentina 86 world cup team were workmanlike at best and yet Maradona hauled them to glory. Don't think Ronaldo is even the best in his era.Maradonna's the best I've seen, because he dragged some mediocre sides to success single handed. Messi's been superb, but he's done it in a great side, and not managed to do it for his national team. tbf Ronaldo ain't half bad...
Good shout.Cantona has to be up there
Keepers never get mentioned in best ever players,but why not ? Some may say it's the most important position on the pitch, so for that reason Gordon Banks is going on the list !Inportant yeah but how can you be considered the best footballer in a position where you seldom use your feet?
Got on FIFA's game cover :/What has Ronaldo done that compares, or Messi for that matter.
I wouldn't put him in the same league as Maradona, but tbf to Ronaldo, his stack of medals is pretty big, and he did drag a pretty ordinary Portugal side closer to success than it deserved.What has Ronaldo done that compares, or Messi for that matter.
But he's won nothing outside of the best club team in football, done nothing for Argentina despite being surrounded by incredible talentPele's 1000 goals were bollocks. They include tons of charity games.
Messi for example has scored 72 goals in a single season for example.
Portugal won that Euros yes but Ronaldo was pretty average, scored 3 goals and they only won 1(?) game inside 90 minutes. You could pick any of the players in that Real team as having a stack of medals, would they have won them without him? Debatable. The point still stands though that I can't see anything extraordinary that really marks him out.I wouldn't put him in the same league as Maradona, but tbf to Ronaldo, his stack of medals is pretty big, and he did drag a pretty ordinary Portugal side closer to success than it deserved.
It's his own ego that stops him getting the acclaim from fans as a footballer that he maybe deserves... but then I guess it's his own ego that gives him the belief to do what he does.
