Cristiano Ronaldo

[Wales-Bales]

Looks like he's after the Balon d'Or

[Fine Lines]

Makes a change , he’s usually just Falling on D’floor.

[life on mars]

He is the greatest player on the planet,perhaps ever 51 hat tricks for god sake

[MacAdder]

He's an egotistical, petulant, arrogant genius.

[ccfc_is_my_life]

He's just a shit Gareth Bale.

[J R Hartley]

Big. Game. Player.

[Wales-Bales]

That free kick was something else ..

[Wales-Bales]

Fan view ..

[ccfc_is_my_life]

Cracking free kick, fairly anonymous most of the game. I'm sure some will claim De Gea letting a simple shot in will show Ronaldo is world class, but...

A superb all round performance.

Come on.

No one will say hes world class for that shot either. They will say hes World Class because thats what he is. 51 hat tricks isnt it.

Are you saying Ronaldo isn't world class?

He scored three against (arguably) the best National side on the planet, and you say that he was anonymous-fair play, that is one of the daftest things I've ever read on this MB.

[The Bloop]

Can't stand him but he's brilliant.

[jamieccfc]

Fair play to him unbelievable but that was never a free kick or penalty

Absolute bollox. Both fouls, both on Ronaldo, both punished in the best way possible.

As for him being anonymous

I know 2 of the most clear fouls you’ll see. People are just blinded by hating him

Correct

[xsnaggle]

Correct

I can't stand him but that penalty was clear as day, no doubt in my mind at all and obviously none in the referee's either. And the slow-mo replay confirmed it.

He's a brilliant footballer, but he turns my stomach every time the camera goes on him and he's always looking at himself on the big screen.

He'd be in a real mess if he ever went in a hall of mirrors....

[City123]

Undoubtedly one of the best of all time

Who was the Welsh rugby player who did that often?

Garin Jenkins.

[PhyllisStant]

One of the greats undoubtedly but it does my head in how far up his @rse everyone is.

The BBC headline was "Ronaldo scores sensational hat-trick"

A pelanty, goalkeeping error and a (admittedly very good) freekick. Meh

Costa's first and Nacho's goals - THEY were sensational.
