Ronaldo or Messi? Forever a debate, forever undecided. But, whether you favour the Argentine over the Portugeuse captain, you can’t deny that Ronaldo is a top bloke for what the Real Madrid man has done on and off the pitch.
And, no, you can not say, ‘oh Ronnie purely does it for marketing purposes’ blah blah, the Portuguese has done too many good deeds to be viewed that way. Have a look at the 12 times when CR7 has been a top ambassador for the game!

Legend.

Every Minute

And, the first player to ever do it. Fair play, pal.
