There is no Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi debate anymore, Ronaldo is the best player of all time, says Liverpool legend David James
Cristiano Ronaldo is 37 years old and he is still firing on all cylinders. His recent hat-trick for Manchester United against Tottenham, which was also incidentally the 49th hat-trick of his club career, saw him become the second oldest player in Premier League history to score a hat-trick. But more importantly perhaps it also saw Ronaldo become professional football's all-time leading goal scorer, going past Austro-Czech Josef Bican. Over the years, we have seen Ronaldo continue to remain an extremely fit and prolific player, across the leading leagues in the world - EPL, La Liga and Serie A - leagues where he also holds multiple records. His return to United colours was a huge shot in the arm for the Red Devils who are trophy-less since 2017. They did finish second behind Manchester City in the Premier League last season, but they haven't tasted any real silverware success in a long time. Going forward, the United management will be banking on Ronaldo to help them end that drought.
