Ronaldo has been scoring more than a goal a game for over a decade and still you get nostalgics raising the likes of Eusebio, Di Stefano and Van Basten and arguing they're better/greater (is is the same?) players.
fecking hovel.
I mean, I'm not one for the numbers game... but actually look at Ronaldo's bloody numbers. He and Messi have changed the barometers by which football is assessed. They've almost normalised what they do. There's no way that (still brilliant) players that were successful at their clubs for significantly shorter periods of time can be raised on some platform that Ronaldo can't belong.
In general, people are always reticent to stick their neck out and admit what they're watching is the best. Well, that's what we've had the luxury of watching over the last ten years. A period of football that will be talked about for generations.
