Cristiano Ronaldo

[Jenny Talia]

I thought Messi was the better player this year but there ya go

They could probably have given it to him the day after the Champions League final to be honest. It was a done deal after that game.

 

[Radical Rei]

Goals get you the plaudits. Messi has been better this calendar year for sure. Still only got 2 League goals this season.

Yeah your right about that come to think of it I can't remember the last time a defender or goalkeeper won the player of the year. Bit of a shame really.

 

[SchmoodSpur]

Players I rank above Ronaldo in the all time list...Messi, Maradona, Pele, Garrincha, Zizou, Di Stefano, Puskas, Cruyff, Ronaldo, King.

Ronaldo hasn't even been Real's best player this year. Modric has.

Cannavaro? I think he won it after Italy won the World Cup.

 

[pipes]

Lol. There's at least 20, lad.

Players I rank above Ronaldo in the all time list...Messi, Maradona, Pele, Garrincha, Zizou, Di Stefano, Puskas, Cruyff, Ronaldo, King.

Twenty?

 

[SchmoodSpur]

Twenty?

I exaggerated for effect. Put him in the teens if we include keepers.

With no player other than Ronaldo or Messi winning the Ballon d'Or since 2007 it's hard to regard it as a particularly interesting or relevant award.

Yep. Obviously Messi and Ronaldo are incredible footballers performing regularly at the business end for their clubs, but that doesn’t mean goalkeepers and defenders aren’t performing equally or better than them in what they do.

They're right - yesterday's leap and header are amazing - almost unbelievable. Best view is the slo-mo from 1:11 onwards.

Looked like he was on a step ladder or stilts when he scored that goal at Sampdoria.
He is an absolute machine, be great if Mourinho could somehow persuade him to come to Spurs.

The wages he'd demand would more than likely give Levy a stroke.

It would only go Spursey and the day after he starts training is when his body really starts to give up.

I'm bionic

Ron tall

 

[Blanchflower]

Here he is claiming to be feeling really well......whilst looking quite un well

 

[Totti]

How is he still testing positive if he's isolating?

That's 4 times now isn't it?

Ibrahimovic had multiple positive tests as well.

Granted he broke quarantine to buy himself a car for his birthday. Not out of this world that Ronaldo is also skirting quarantine somehow. He did catch it by breaking quarantine to begin with.
