9 reasons why Ronaldo is the most complete striker of all time

#8 Popularity and praise

Ronaldo will forever be remembered by fans as the greatest striker of a generation and arguably one of the best players in the history of football. Perhaps more important than the public reception, though, is the reaction of his fellow professionals.

Contemporaries of the three time World Player of the Year have often described Ronaldo as the greatest ever. Fellow superstar Zinedine Zidane labelled him his best ever teammate, whilst current stars like Neymar and Lionel Messi have openly cited the mercurial striker as an inspiration during their early days.

The army of Ronaldo advocates is further supplemented by several pundits and commentators, ensuring the Brazilian’s name will always come up in conversations regarding the world’s best ever all-round striker.

They can’t all be wrong.
