I've been blessed in my lifetime to have witnessed in the flesh some of the worlds greatest players to have ever played the game , either by way of seeing them play at CP, or working with the old rock steady that allowed me to be at the hampden champions league final to see 'that' zidane goal , Raul, ballack, pirlo, messi , xavi, iniesta, Larsson, del piero, neymar zlatan, joey Barton and many others thanks to Celtic, I'm sticking to non Celtic players bar Larsson or this will become a novel, however, of them all , and I know that it divides opinion on who's the best Chritiano Ronaldo is the one who stands above the rest for what hes achieved both domestically and internationally. And now at 35 years old and still doing it at juve I thought he deserves a mention on here to celebrate his latest incredible , unimaginable achievement. 100 goals for his country portugal 101 actually as he scored twice against a decent Sweden side. Ali daei of Iran being the only other player in the history of world football to have achieved it before he scored 109 I think it was. It's an unbelievable achievement and a true one at that as for me the number of balloon doors dont count that's others opinions. I put him above messi mainly because he has taken his national side and won a major honour with them and league titles in 3 of the best leagues in the world . Messi whist incredible also has done none of those 3 things , though granted hes done amazing things hes never won any league title outside of spain , Ronaldo has english Spanish and Italian messi has somewhere around 70 international goals , ronaldo 101, messi has no international winners medal and no sorry an olympic games gold medal,12 years ago cannot count. Ronaldo has won the euros with Portugal and both have numerous champions league winners medals and thats the reason why Ronaldo is tops for me and it was fantastic to see us beat him and his man utd buddies ar CP. Thanks to a certain wee Japanese guy who could score from 3 miles out but in all seriousness what a legend 2 the game
