But I can comfortably say that R9 is the greatest striker in the history of football, and has a case for a loud shout as the greatest footballer of all times (my personal vote is for Diego Maradona)

He was the Kaido of his Era, on a 1v1 always bet on Ronaldo. Deadliest 1v1 player in history. He literally disappeared in front of defenders. Defenders knew what was coming but they couldn't keep up. When Ronaldo got pass players, they were more in awe than embarrassed. Yes that was so true. He was one of them like main characters in anime.

Look at Messi, it took Messi 10 attempts to score against Petre Cech. He couldn't break CFC defence until great defenders like JT, Calvalho, Makelele, Gallas and more left the club.

      Except Seadorf didn't play with those others. The question was the best he played with, but in people's minds - the best player ever.

    As an American who fell in love with the game watching Ronaldo and Ronaldinho at the 2002 World Cup in South Korea, I am in awe of his skill and talent. Otherworldly

    Another thing I loved about Ronaldo was that he had very reasonable, more relaxed celebrations.

    Para mí el mejor 9 en la historia del fútbol...cazador de área natural, buscaba espacios, jugaba sin balón, resolvía en una baldosa, tenía mucha fuerza y muy rápido, inteligente y sangre fría a la hora de definir.

    Without injuries we could be talking about the best player of all time, or at least in the conversation with Messi Maradona Pelé etc……. Even with injuries people still see him amongst the very best which tells what this man was, completely unplayable on his day he would wipe out any challenges ahead of him and control everything

    What a great stellar career Ronaldo DeLima . Won world youth cup, world cup 2002, had great European club careers with Inter Milan, AC Milan, Barcelona, and if course Los Galacticos Real Madrid!

    Ronaldo’s look on the ball is so unique, it’s very hard to explain, like he was engineered by God to play Football. His speed with the ball and creativity while carrying it is something I’ve never seen before or since.

    Scoring Machines - CR7, Eusébio, Romário
    Tecnique Gods - Messi, Maradona, Ronaldinho
    Combo - Pelé, R9
    The rest are opinions, all goats!

      How is Messi not a scoring machine as well when he has more official goals than all of them except CR7 (with 150 less matches btw), but a higher goal conversion per match ratio.
