The 4 best. Only Ronaldo came from a small footballing country. Only he adapted to & dominated multiple leagues.
Until another makes that conversation under those conditions, no one can say anything against his GOAT claims.
Modric 2018:
- UCL with Madrid, lead Croatia to 2nd
- Ballon D’Or
Modric 2022
- UCL with Madrid, lead Croatia to 3rd
- Not even top 3
The longer it goes on, the more obvious it was that Modric was given the Ballon D’Or purely to snub Ronaldo
THREAD revealing the shocking truth about this Juventus side — they’re creating less chances than Leicester.
Ronaldo’s 26 goals in this team is one of his greatest achievements ⬇️
This thread explains the importance of Cristiano Ronaldo in the formation of the modern game.
His offensive versatility has lead to influence not seen since Johan Cruyff:
Messi’s great but the media bias that came with him destroyed Ronaldo’s reputation on an allegation, convinced people that Pelé was a farmer and robbed Lewandowski of the highlight of his career. Complete injustice
Goal made EIGHT tweets about Ronaldo after the Napoli game.
Goal hasn’t made ONE tweet about Messi blanking vs Sevilla (important for the title) and shoving a player over.
This extreme media manipulation is being used to slander Ronaldo and make him look a worser player.
@SometimesCB
There’s problems in how society raises men. Rather an argument of what gender is better here, it should be seen that boys are also victims of the patriarchy. It’s harmful that societies raises them to be entitled, immature and above domestic tasks etc.
Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia is a joke. Still doing it for Portugal, plays a game every 4/5 days, pulls out a world class finish or assist every week. It’s insane
Ronaldo’s peak as a winger caused the entirety of football to be restructured based on HIS game. This is a joke
It allowed another peak where he became beyond clear of any UCL player ever, the highest level of football seen.
So apparently Ramos is an overrated defender, Kroos & Modric aren’t close to Gerrard and KDB. Ronaldo is half the player of Messi
Who tf made that team 3peat then Carvajal? 😭
• How can Juventus rebuild?
• Why have they underperformed?
• Should Ronaldo stay?
THREAD on how Juve could change their fate & dominate Europe in the future ⬇️
I was a Cristiano fan for ten years. But the more I understood the game, the more I understood the gap between the very best history has ever seen versus one of the greats.
@sportbible
Mainstream media is legitimately so biased to Messi. Manipulated quotes hitting sportsbible ready to indoctrinate the population’s opinions
@theashleyray
It’s a clickbait title but the article does a really good job of describing Gen Z romanticising mundane parts of their lives online for social media conformity (IE: Hot girl walk, girl dinner) etc
🇳🇴 Håland’s goal vs Northern Ireland
He’s got great off the ball movement and insane finishing with both feet. Consistency AND turns up in big games. Gonna be special 🔥
Juventus have won the title whilst Barcelona have finished in 2nd place
That means Messi & Ronaldo could be drawn against each other in next season’s UCL group stage 🤩
Serie A Goals conceded:
🥇 Inter
🥈 Lazio
🥉 JUVENTUS
Big chances created:
🥇 Atalanta
🥈 Roma
🥉 Inter
▫️ JUVENTUS
But Ronaldo winning a Serie A with this team hasn’t been a challenge 🤷♂️
Lewandowski, Griezmann, Raul, Zidane, Kluivert, Trezeguet, Pires and Beckham played a combined 10 games against Andorra and scored 0 goals.
Ronaldo has played 2 games vs Andorra and scored 5 goals.
Remember that tomorrow 👍
Ronaldo for Juventus since his arrival:
• Serie A Assists 🥇
• Serie A Big chances created🥇
• Serie A Key passes 🥈
• Serie A Successful dribbles 🥇
• UCL Assists 🥈
• UCL Big chances created 🥇
• UCL Key Passes 🥇
• UCL Successful Dribbles 🥇
If Argentina make it to the final, they will become only the 2nd finalist since 2002 to make it without having to face a World Cup winning nation.
The 1st? Argentina 2014.
🇵🇹 Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most underrated dribblers of our generation.
He’s thought of as a goalscoring box player, but this isn’t the case.
A quick thread with the stats that prove this - any likes & shares greatly appreciated.
1. Goals > Assists
2. Involvement’s to decidethe game > G/A when the game is already won
3. Playing for the 6th best team in the league > 1st best team in the league
4. Playing in Europe’s top league > Playing in Europe’s 5/6th league
5. 2.5 years of age
Football isn’t the beautiful game because Neymar can dribble a team, or because Haaland scores debut hattricks
Its beautiful because there is more than one way to succeed. Taking this close minded approach to football is stopping you from appreciating its entirety
@sportbible
I know it’s just one post from one account, but this happens over and over
• ESPN have been caught doing the same thing.
• Goal & BRFootball openly say Penaldo’
• Squawka’s admin and owner has been proven to have a Ronaldo obsession
Over 5+ years, this affects opinions
🥈 Ronaldo is Juve’s 2nd top scorer in the UCL KO stages EVER (7)
He’s played just 6 (SIX) games
People don’t understand how a goalscorer is affected by a defensive team. His numbers are insane 💥
No other player can do what Messi is doing at 33. 44 G/As in 42 games this season so far, single handedly kept this Barca team in the title race.
He's simply the best player in the world today.
99% of journalists who vote for Ballon Dor’s, and football professionals who influence opinions will see this tweet but not the game.
The bias will fly over their ahead, and be passed onto the public through them. Always cast your own opinions.
Despite all of this:
- He has 26 goals in 27 league games
- He’s the 1st player to score 25 league goals for Juve since 1961
- He’s scored or assisted in his last 17 league games
Don’t let the numbers fool you, he’s still one of the best in the world.
@HJJ92_
Bad comparison because an Englishman helping Bayern win their 11th straight title is nothing compared to Vardy’s accomplishments with Leicester
• Who is a better international player, Messi or Ronaldo?
• Why is the international contest so important to the debate?
This is a LONG thread, but I promise if you read it all the debate is settled for good. Any retweets and shares are greatly appreciated 🙏
CR7 is the player with the MOST headed goals in history.
- 15/16 = 9 headers
- 16/17 = 8 headers
- 17/18 = 7 headers
- 18/19 = 9 headers
- 19/20 = 2 headers (TWO)
He’s lost about 6-7 goals this season because his teammates can’t cross.
This is me! My pictures been up proudly on my page for a while.
I’m glad I’m skinny rather than someone who attacks random folk on the internet to vill the empty void in my life!
Being a Messi fan must be exhausting.
Ronaldo, Pele, Lewandowski… Always someone new to discredit and argue about
Deifying a football player into a god then slandering any other greats 😬
@keyznsleevez
Just 15 countries in 27 years and you think you’re special enough to look down on someone. If you’d gotten anything out of your travel you’d have realised not to judge folks in different situations
Juventus ARE NOT in the top 20 teams for big chances created in the top 4 leagues.
Bayern are creating DOUBLE the amount of big chances.
He would have had more scoring chances playing for Hoffenheim, Villarreal or Leicester 🤯
Ronaldo changed this in 2008 when he became the first ever winger to:
• Win the European Golden Shoe
• Finish as the UCL top scorer
• Finish the calendar year with the most goals in Europe
Alongside his achievements since 2006, he had reached a height no winger had.
@ftbljoe
The club knew they needed new midfielders and fullbacks but spent €100m on two RW’s.
The club swapped Danilo and Cancelo. They sold off Kean & Orsolini who could have been vital forward depth.
Don’t blame it on Ronaldo, who’s likely making back his fee in marketing.
CLEAR CUT CHANCES (pre-lockdown):
🇵🇱 Lewandowski: 43
🇮🇹 Immobile: 31
🇵🇹 Ronaldo: 0-22
Despite this, CR7 is only 3 goals behind Immobile — and 8 behind Lewandowski with 7 games to play
League seasons with over 30 goals:
🇵🇹 Ronaldo: 8 🏴🇪🇸🇮🇹
🇦🇷 Messi: 8 🇪🇸
🇧🇷 Pelé: 7 🇧🇷
🇩🇪 Müller: 5 🇩🇪
🇭🇺 Puskás: 5 🇭🇺
Comment a player for their count!
Most goals in the T5 leagues each year:
🇪🇸 2009: Villa 🇦🇷 2010: Messi
🇵🇹 2011: Ronaldo 🇦🇷 2012: Messi
🇵🇹 2013: Ronaldo 🇵🇹 2014: Ronaldo
🇵🇹 2015: Ronaldo 🇺🇾 2016: Suárez
🇦🇷 2017: Messi 🇵🇹 2018: Ronaldo

• How does scoring in Serie A compare to scoring in La Liga?
• Who has the most match winning goals in La Liga?
• How trustworthy is Michel Acosta, the creator of the “largest statistical comparison between Messi and Ronaldo”?
A quick thread below. Any RT’s appreciated 🙏
Let’s start by looking at their league rankings in certain stats — from WhoScored & FBref. Firstly, CROSSING:
- Average crosses = 16th
- Accurate crosses = 14th
- Assists from crosses = 14th
- Headed shots = 11th
CR started off in the Portuegese league and had to earn a transfer to a top club.
Messi played for a team that won a UCL & 2 La Liga before he was a regular starter. These trophies are still used in debates.
