Ronaldo never had finishers around him like Neymar and Messi. They've played with some absolute talent at Argentina and Brazil when compared to Portugal.

Always playing victim as if Portugal aren't always filled with talent and underachieving. Portugal screwing up is their fault. They have had world class players before and even today have one of the most stacked teams in international football

Portugal was not filled with talent from 2008-2018. They are stacked now but outside of Ronaldo their talent was pretty meh for a major international side. Mind you neither Neymar or Messi played with a golden generation either, but I think it's folly to pretend that some of those past Portugal teams were anything special.

I mean, does that matter when he normally goes against way lower competition in official matches than what Messi and Neymar face?

[–] JS569123@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, Messi and Neymar are so lucky. Ronaldo is stuck with bums like Checks notes Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leao, Joao Cancelo and Checks notes again Joao Felix, Ruben Dias, Bruno Fernandez…

The Lord eder blessed the tiny nation of Portugal with his majesty and gifted them an international trophy, you would be wise to address him in the correct manner heathen.
