Whenever i see the statement "Ronaldo is the complete footballer, he is fast, he can shoot powerfully off both feet, he can jump, head the ball etc" i feel like throwing my phone through the window.

I hate when people just judge football on physical attributes when the brain is just as if not more important.

As you know my favourite type of players are people like Messi, Iniesta, David Silva who do things which make me think "how the hell did he see that!"

Ronaldo is the second best player in the world mate but Messi is on another level.
One thing i will add though is Ronaldo's dedication has got to be second to none. I was listening to Guillem Balague a while back and he said that Ronaldo has changed his whole body composition over the last year in order to become more suited to being a striker rather than a winger.

When he was young at Lisbon he used to sneak into the club gym at night and do weights and he used to race cars at traffic lights!
