People take for granted Ronaldo's stats but Portugal was not a football superpower that people think they might be today. Even today, they lack severely in defense and attacking options at the very top compared to teams like Argentina, Poland (currently under-performing) and Brazil.
It's shocking that he and his team won the Euros at any point given Portugal have barely been an international side in all of their history.
Wouldn't that make Ronaldo's stats easier to obtain because he is on a weaker team? Basically, the ball always goes to him because others on the team aren't as good; he simply doesn't need to share the ball like Messi and Neymar
