Huh? Weird comment, seems you never followed his football at all. There’s one reason why nobody shares your gut feeling opinion here, because it’s simply not true. I am sure he has scored more winning goals than anyone, and it isn’t even up for debate for many years. Scoring important goals has always been one of strong arguments for Ronaldo being GOAT, and no one would question that because it’s so obvious.

It’s an astronomical difference as well if I’m not mistaken, it’s like a 60-20 split something like that.
Just look it up then. You made an unsubstantiated claim and now you're expecting other people to do the leg work to prove or disprove it. The burden of proof lies on you.
The gap is big but Messi has a lot more than 20. 2 years ago it was (according to reddit/twitter) 63-40.
But it is also worth to mention that Ronaldo had some phenomenal performances in big ties in the knockout stage in the CL-wins of Real. 16/17 he scored 5 of their 6 goals against Bayern in quarter finals, 3 of their 4 against Atletico in semi, 2 of 4 against Juve in the final. 17/18 3 of their 5 against PSG, 3 of their 4 against Juve. 15/16 all 3 goals against Wolfsburg to turn around the tie.

You can’t be this stupid surely. I’ll just assume you’re tired after a rough day. No one has suggested he hasn’t scored important goals. Remember that when you wake up tomorrow.
Those last three goals against Sweden are bad examples by the way. Counterattacking goals when Sweden was pushing forward. The last goal was typical Cristiano. Game already won comfortably, Sweden had to score two goals with ten minutes left. As I said his percentage of non-important goals must be extremely high compared to other players. What I didn’t say was that he barely scored important goals. Now go sleep.
That 2nd goal was incredible.
I do find it a bit weird our socials keep promoting him so much. No smoke without fire?

But you have only a feeling while @Ekkie Thump posted some interesting stats that indicate that this is simply not true, at least compared to Messi. The only stats you posted are stats that don't show anything more than Ronaldo playing against more small teams on international level than Messi.
The score in the Sweden playoff went 1-0 Portugal (Ronaldo), 1-1, 2-1 Sweden. 2-2 (Ronaldo), 3-2 Portugal (Ronaldo). Of course Portugal already had a goal advantage from the first leg thanks to an 82nd minute strike by Ronaldo.
Overall I reckon Ronnie featured rather heavily in that tie.
With a trophy he didn't play in the final for.
Yet every player of that team credited Ronaldo for playing a big part in that Euro. Just finding more ways to discredit him. He was their top three players that Euro.
I don’t think our social team has any contact with the scouting/recruitment departments. It’s their job to generate interactions and a club legend like Ronaldo will do that. If they had any sort of inside knowledge on our plans to bring Ronaldo back you can guarantee it would have been leaked to a journo or two by now and the links would be much stronger.
GOAT.. easily... different leagues.. national team.. what a player.
What you’re doing is not called gut feeling. It’s just a bullshit way to basically maintain a belief that has no basis in fact or stats. You’re welcome to have it. It’s your opinion. But you can’t make up shit like “I think he scores more goals against small teams and when his team is already winning” with no evidence or statistics which back it up, and then when someone provides contradictory evidence; say it’s “gut feel”. It’s not.
It’s just wonderful to watch his desire to test himself and put himself on the 3 hardest leagues - because he wants to be known as the goat.
The guy was crying when not winning the euro’s a decade back - those tears have influenced so many players of Portugal due to his pure desire to win.
He is my GOAT because of his mentality as a footballing human being - it’s the best I’ve ever seen; even if another player can outshine him at times in a technical manner with their feet - he is good at it too with the added aspect of his legendary mentality.
He is definitely my GOAT. No doubt about that.
But his actions last night during the post match debrief when he pushed the three bottles of Coke out of the way and replaced with a bottle of water meant that he went up even further in my view.
That action was really significant and well done Cristiano.
He's GOAT even without his desire to win with his national side and his mentality.. Once you start factoring that in, its not even a content.. He is up against a guy who retired from international football 5 years ago because he couldnt be bothered.
They could have shown a better goal of Bruno. Ronaldo and Nani's best moments, Dalot's only goal hence understandable (?) then a tap in from Bruno
We're bringing him home, aren't we? I can't remember any other case of any club's social media stanning another team's player this much.
Including the other Portuguese players in this is just misdirection. There's no way this would have been posted if not for Ronaldo.
Why choose that goal from that game from Bruno
Anyway, this Ronaldo love-in from the United account is slightly cringe.
What a player is has been and still is. GOAT for me.
That last goal is superb.
That last goal is superb.
The point was did he not score the first goal vs Sweden ? Or are jusr choosing to focus on the third?
Yourr talking about stupid but your post was as “stupid” as they come.
I named all those games off of the top of my head and your talking about “gut feelings “ and “hunches”
Would they get to the final without him?
If your answer is yes then do me and a favor and just log off for the rest of the day because your point is next to null.

The big gap you're mentioning is when you skip the R16 and include only from quarter finals onwards, there the difference is really big.
That guy is playing some gold medal worthy mental gymnastics.
I have legit felt brain cells leaving my brain reading the last few posts.
you mean, if his answer is yes.
Your jab at trying to discredit the win based on a game he was purposely injured to try to prove a non existent point warrants a response.
Disregard, I miss typed that
thank you
The point is clear and hardly up for debate. Ronaldo didn't carry Portugal at Euro 2016 as much as you want that to be the narrative. He contributed of course like the top player he is.
Obviously Ronaldo deserves recognition for their euro win. Its a team game and he was influential getting them to the final.
2 goals in the game that decided if we leave the group stage or go home.
his shot led to the rebound winner vs Croatia
galvanized his team and scored the penalty vs Poland (unlike someone else that same summer)
goal And assist in the semi finals.
So he literally had a direct influence in every single knockout game (Hungary was essentially a knockout game) all the way to the final.
I don’t know what else you expect him to do.
I would bet he would of probably scored in the final as well.
of course.
1. historically easy draw (you won't see Wales and Poland in semis again)
2. Eder
3. Ronaldo as the most important player beside Pepe
in that order I'd say.
because he fecked it up vs Austria, no? he did miss the penalty around 80. minute.
Ya he did miss it, the next game he made sure to Make up for it.
QF is where the really big gap is actually. They're pretty even otherwise
True.
Rooney is much more an United-legend than Ronaldo is, and yet one doesnt always get that impression.
