The ego has imploded.

Perhaps he should stop insisting he takes every free kick.

Poll: best attacking central midfielder?

It’s a shame that one of the greatest footballers ever is closing his international career like that.

I'll happily hate on Ronaldo but in fairness to him he was hitting them well, it was fair enough to think one might go in eventually.

Too record driven in his latter years, the ego has got out of control. Really admired him for a number of years but the united exit was classless.

Tonight has been a bit embarrassing, with the obvious desperation to the detriment of his team. That’s when you have to say thanks but enough is enough.

I love Portugal, the people are great and in particular Madeira is lovely. But I’ve detested that cheat Ronaldo for years. Watching him blub - hilarious.

There have been plenty of players in footballing history better than him too.

I don’t agree with the last statement he’s clearly in the top 3 players ever.

Not sure he is. I’d have Pele, Maradonna and Messi ahead of him. And that’s before getting on to the original (and better) Ronaldo.

I wasn’t actually ‘hating’ on him here, to be honest. It was more regarding the commentary, as they said it a few times… and it’s quite a disservice to the other Portuguese players to call it that.

Messi, Pele, Maradona, George Best. That’s without even thinking about it. He’s not even the best player to play for Portugal. That’s the great Eusebio - who also happened to be a gentleman too.

Longevity, numbers puts him above those 3. The original Ronaldo without the injuries would have pushed Messi, Critiano.

Easy to forget the Ronaldo years on the wing rather than this iteration, brilliant running with the ball at pace, great finisher.

That depends on your definition of numbers. As for longevity Stan Matthews played at the top level at 50.

It’s just an opinion. For me, he’d probably make top 10.

Edit: perhaps personal best ever players is one for a separate thread, even if it’s been done before. It’s always fun.

It’s not all just about stats though surely. I mean, for example, Paul Gascoigne didn’t have half the career that Frank Lampard did but, at his best, was a far superior player.

Ronaldo was electric until the last 5 years, then became a pure box player. Ronaldo in full flow was a joy to watch.

And still pulling the strings. I prefer the type of player Messi is. Ronaldo is certainly up there with Messi as the best of their generation. Ronaldo’s a bit odd though (takes all sorts I suppose).

As others have said, not even the greatest Ronaldo of all time. I keep showing my nephew videos of R9; he was an unbelievably complete footballer.

Hell of an athlete (CR7) though. *That* header for Juventus is one of the most astonishing goals I've seen in my lifetime

Hadn't seen that, so looked it up - well, yes! Height of the jump measured at 2.56m I believe -



Edit - shame the link's broken - is on youtube, the 23 secs long clip, which gives a great view.
