Yes but it was a small group. Who else was hyped to the same degree and was around the same age? Messi, Robben and Rooney. You could maybe make a claim for Quaresma too. At the time Ronaldo was one of the top young players in Europe and the others I mentioned except Quaresma all went on to be great players.Simply not true. He belonged to a group of similarly talented footballers. He rose above them due to determination and hardwork that no other player had/has.
Totally disagree because his game lacked the genius in his allround game of the likes of (chronologically) Pele, Maradona, L. Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi to name a few. What he has in his favour are stats and longevity. Hack, in the Premier league, most who are not United fans, will tell you that Henry was better.
I don't think Garnacho is thought of in the same way. It's not a negative because I think he can become a very good player and is obviously a huge talent I'm just saying I don't think you can compare to Ronaldo at the same age.
