5 reasons why Cristiano Ronaldo will outshine Mohamed Salah

#1 The captain

The leader

When the Real Madrid number 7 has the captain’s armband, he seems like a totally different person on the field. One can never forget how he let Karim Benzema take the penalty against Alaves because he wanted the Frenchman to be on the scoresheet.

This happened when Ronaldo was on a hat-trick and could have scored it from the penalty. With Portugal, the leadership takes over him and he becomes a far better player on the pitch. He ensures that he leads his team-mates to glory and puts his personal aspirations behind for the better of the team.

And when that happens, he becomes a much more complete player.
