3. Cristiano Ronaldo is the King. There should be no doubts.
Seriously, who doubts this? That goal in the second minute was taken with sublime calmness (a nod of the hat for his rounding off the keeper... people should do that more often) and he interchanged his position with Karim Benzema with frightening telepathy – their partnership, like Carlo Ancelotti says, is nigh on perfect.
The King has now scored 40+ goals in 7 consecutive seasons at Real Madrid – Comparing Ronaldo’s and Messi’s stats season-by-season – and he doesn’t look like age has affected him in anyway apart from making him an even better finisher.
P.S. A word of praise for Karim Benzema who always gets lambasted by his own fans season-in and season-out and yet delivers everytime the going really gets tough. His spikes in goalscoring towards the end of seasons is quite something to behold.
