The greatest human being the history of this sport, what a great guy and example for the kids, being the greatest player in the history of football alongside Di Stefano and Zidane and the guy is still a friendly father and partner. Love Godnaldo

Ronaldo is a top top professional

Product of dedication and hard work.

A forward with proper movement.

GOAT.

If only Messi could defend like CR

Barca just gave Ronaldo licence to shoot from everywhere tomorrow. Bartomeu destroying us indirectly

He will score hattrick in San Mames tomorrow. No one can stop the GOAT. 3th Ballon d'Or incoming.

The defender thinks that his former Manchester United team-mate earned the accolade. Barcelona defender Gerard Pique is pleased that Cristiano Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or in January, ending Lionel Messi's four-year streak.

The Real Madrid winger edged Barca forward Messi and Bayern Munich attacker Franck Ribery to win Fifa's award for the best player in the world of 2013.

The centre-back thinks the Portuguese winger's win was unexpected to some but that he fully expected his former Manchester United team-mate to take home the trophy.

"It took everyone by surprise, especially those who don’t know him, but not me," Pique, 27, told Jot Down. "More than that in fact, not only did it not surprise me, I think it’s great.

"He’s got a reputation for being a tough-guy, being above it all, so it was good that he had that reaction. He really wanted it, he’d suffered for it and he got it. I like that.

So Pique is talking about crying but the article writer thinks it's about winning?



















 

Brazilian legend Pele believes Cristiano Ronaldo has surpassed Lionel Messi as the best player in the world.

As the former Santos striker revealed in an ESPN FC interview, he believes the Real Madrid star deserves to be recognised as the planet's greatest footballer after Messi's recent injury struggles:

“
I think, no doubt, two years ago the player that was in very, very good condition was Messi. In five years he became the best player in Europe, but in the last two years, and this year, he had a problem: he got injured, he was out this year and he has played few games.

Ronaldo has come through for the past two or three years and is the best in Europe. I think at the moment no doubt Ronaldo is the best player, but until now Messi was the best.

Agreed

When you seek Merriam and Webster you'll find description for senile, is Pele.

2014 G+A per 90 minutes

1.72 Messi
0.82 Cronaldo

Is Cronaldo really past it?

Pele opinions.... as if anybody takes him seriously I thought?

IMHO opinion he is partially right. At this very moment CR is better, but not the past 2-3 years, no disrespect to CR! He has evolved a lot since he came to RM, but Messi is just different class on its own.

barça fans just can't stay out of this thread....... hilarious

Turns 29 today

Still needs to grow up a bit.

Ronaldo almost 30.

mt is he not agile enough for you imo?

Pele hates anything Argentine due to his tabloid rivalry with Maradonna, so of course he'll favour Crono over Messi

The cure for cancer could be discovered in Argentina and Pele will tell you it's better to have cancer

Turning 30 means he could become less agile.

How can he become less agile? He already walks and takes freekicks like he got a stick up his arse.

3 match suspension, hah! Well deserved as well as the Ballon D'or
