Ah feck - id forgot about that. Although doubt hed have made it regardlessNo Ronaldo at Carricks testimonial
Absolutely mugged.£80m.... we got robed
Not only that, but they had so many cast-offs that summer and we didn't try to get any.Absolutely mugged.
Yes. Against Bayern and Atletico.8 goals in the last 3 Champions League games?
That's the spirit!Feck it, let's all go nuts
Viva!!!
That too Swoosh!Wow.
Best ever.
If we're talking about completeness, Puskas was nowhere near as good in the air (they had Kocsis for that). So yeah, probably, his only rival is Pele.The most complete goalscorer in history, at this point I think you could see the gulf between the top teams isn't as big as it used to be. His Striker role now will boost his numbers in his age.
Then again I plead ignorance because I never saw Puskas etc.
VIVA!Feck it, let's all go nuts
Viva!!!
Absolutely. He didn't score against some random shit teams.Yes. Against Bayern and Atletico.
Just remarkable.
The single greatest individual achievement in history? It's more impressive than Messi surpassing Pele's absurd annual goal record, for me, and I can't think of anything more impressive prior to that.After 2012, Messi had 4 Ballon d'Ors to Ronaldo's one.
After 2017, it's likely that Ronaldo will match him in 5.
That's simply incredible competitive drive.
It's Ronaldo's greatest achievement by far and it's not talked about a lot surprisingly.The single greatest individual achievement in history? It's more impressive than Messi surpassing Pele's absurd annual goal record, for me, and I can't think of anything more impressive prior to that.
Even if we got £80m plus Robben and Sneijder we'd have been robbed, he was easily worth £120m and Real would've still got a bargain. He's simply something else.Not only that, but they had so many cast-offs that summer and we didn't try to get any.
Imagine money + Robben and Sneijder.
We botched that summer BADLY.
Looked like 2012 tonight
If he's in this shape for the final we're winning the CL again
I have a sneaky feeling that Ronnie will score a hat-trick in the final
Same here, was there when he made his debut for usThis guy is an absolute machine. I'm so glad I got to witness him playing for us.
In terms of their club careers then I can't agree, Ronaldo only has one La Liga title.This is the first time since 2008/09 I'm thinking that Cristiano can equal Messi's career. Not the talent, not the peak level, but the whole evaluation of his career.
Absolutely ridiculous, 5 goals in the quarters (against Bayern no less), 3 goals in the first semi-final against the best defensive team of the last 5 years...
Of course, but we still made a mess of that summer.Even if we got £80m plus Robben and Sneijder we'd have been robbed, he was easily worth £120m and Real would've still got a bargain. He's simply something else.
Yeah. Balague did a piece on him redistributing weight to his legs in prep for #9 role.Has he lost weight/muscle? Face looks a bit thinner to me and he seemed as fast as he used to at times.
Very happy the way he celebrated his hattrick too, straight to his teammates and not ALL about him. Good to see that

and 3 PL titles.In terms of their club careers then I can't agree, Ronaldo only has one La Liga title.
Also, there's a certain kind of 'hollowness' to a Champions League triumph if the side that wins it doesn't win their domestic league too as they cannot be called the best team in Europe. The last time Real did that was in the 50s.
