    Cristiano Ronaldo has basically made a career out of proving people wrong. Yet still, many continue to doubt him and disregard the times he's come out on top when the odds are stacked against him.
    Today we're turning the clock back to revisit 7 times that CR7 proved the doubters wrong and reminded us all that he's undeniably a GOAT in his own right.

You can doubt Ole but what can a mangaer do if u r having players like Maguire and Varane who does mistakes all of the time. And United is not in form too. Surely Ole doesn't have any tactics but the team is full of overrated stars. What can Ole do when your team has a player like Greenwood who only cares about his career not his team. He keeps on shooting where he could have easily give passes. Mid field is shit. You are having van deebek and Matic. Still ur playing Mctomminay and Fred.

      His ball distribution when he plays for Portugal is underrated.
      His mindset is always on point.
      He still has a lot of power in his shots and can shoot from distance.
      Really good athletic ability and can still jump high.
      At 36 his stamina is still OK, and can play almost full games at high pace and consistently game after game.

    Cristiano Ronaldo is an absolute legend. Undeniable {undisputed} great (great icon) of the game. He is among the two G∙o·A∙Ts· of the game.
    G∙o·A∙T∙ ≡ Greatest of All Time
    CR7 is unparalleled. He is peerless. It is an insult to the very sport of Football itself to compare him with Messi. In my opinion,, Leo is a class apart. Lionel Messi is almost an alien.

    For me he's the greatest of all time, not just for how incredible of a player he's been, but also for his character. I have never looked up to a player in my life like I've done for Ronaldo. His dedication to the sport, to his team, to always winning was unmatched. People like to call him "inevitable" and I couldn't agree more. He could force the game to go his way out of sheer willpower. My god, what an inspiration.

    You know, for me this video did age well.
    Looks like it was recorded before Solskjaer sacking. And we all know that Ralf is nobody and something went horribly wrong there. Also CR7 scored a lot of goals including clutch ones.
    And later he had a struck of personal tragedy and lack of support from the club as well as lack of play time. All of this is sure to end in disaster as it did in WC 2022.
    As for the interview - that might very well be a mistake. He could have just waited and get a transfer later, yet maybe Saudi Arabia offer was to expire in winter so he had to act quickly in hope of getting to other European clubs.
    Anyway, his move to Saudi Arabia is a good one, because
    a) he does not have to prove anything to anyone except himself
    b) he will have the respect, the play time and attention he needs and wantz from the club. Hopefully, it will allow him to return to good form
    c) Good form will be good for the national team performance as well for the other clubs that might wanna resign him
    d) Good form in the national team might allow him to compete for the WC 2026 as well as Euros 2024.
    e) National trophies is the last motivation for him. Saudi Arabia might let him be in shape for the national performances
    Just look at Zlatan. The guy is 41 and still is playing at a high level.That means CR7 has some hope left.

    The reason why every Messi or Renaldo video devolves into a VS video in the comments section is because these are two of the greatest players to have ever played the game, generational talents.
    Players like these are rare, just to have one in a single generation, but having two playing at the same time is something else entirely. It would be like having Michael Jordan play at the same time as LeBron James. Or Joe Montana playing at the same time as Tom Brady.
    These things just don't happen.
