Ronaldo was the greatest after Pele, the closest I've seen to Pele in my eye's.. And he won so much at such a young age.. Ronaldo7 and Messi could not touch him.. If R9 played for Pep in that Barca team that played tika taka brazilian style football I believe Ronaldo could have got 60 to 70 goals in one season he was that good.. He was much stronger and faster than messi and he could score with both feet.. Instead he went way to early to the Serie A which ruined him even though he went on winning trophy after trophy.. It was also clear that he bulked up to much which slowed him down at RM but he still played stunning football there too. Messi hasn't one world cup trophy to his name nor has a a Copa America but R9 has two wc winners medals and two or three copa america's.. R9 could have had 3 world cup medals but I think the world cup where he had that fit was fixed.. I think he was told to step down to allow France to win.. Also if I think R9 played in Pep Barca team he would have broken all records as that style would have created so many chances for him.. He proved himself in italy the hardest league defensively in the world. Anyone can see that even Ronaldo of Portugal can't get near the amount of goals he used to score at RM.. I believe Messi would only score around 20 goals a season in the Seire A where would be marked out of many games. Pele is the greatest of all time and I don't care what anyone says as he was a goal machine who dominated european teams at club and national level.. if he were playing today with the amazing conditions the players play in he would dominate even more..
Lionel Messi had two better seasons than this
why wasn't r9 more recognize, when he was that good just like Messi.
@@turboroman5718 It is like saying that Maradona is overrated cause he have lower stats then Brazilian ronaldo and Messi.
@@turboroman5718 You should also notice that Messi have been with barcelona in his entire life Messi played with best defenders on his team and midfielders of his Generations against weaker opponents.
In this generation players are more overprotected now
Less physical
Better healtcare and etc..
Up to the age of 23 (Pre Injury): Ronaldo: 233 goals Messi: 134 goals C. Ronaldo: 92 goals
No comments
None of the less the phisique condition of a player is more important than one single season in fact messi 6 ballon dors and cristiano 5 numbers talk by theyre selves no need to argue
@@EveryDayHeroes89 The thing is Ronaldo didn't have any real outspoken rival during his prime and he suffered injuries that kept him away from playing 2 years, and after his sensational comeback he didn't have anything to prove after winning WC 2002 and receiving his 3rd Ballon d'or. He more or less just enjoyed his stay at Real Madrid not really accomplishing anything spectacular from here on. Messi and C. Ronaldo, both rise from the following generation players, are in a league for themselves, no doubt, but their competiviness against each other was the cataclysm for both of them to achieve better than the other. Also, they have not suffered major injuries hindering them from playing. In hindsight, I believe, C. Ronaldo have achieved more, since he managed to win with different clubs and also the national team. Messi however is the most natural skilled of them.
@@Lokazana Nah, Ronaldo(Fenomeno) was the most naturally gifted, both natural skill/flair and physique...not to mention the competition of that era and overall world class teams/players was better.
Messi y cristiano no empezaron siendo goleadores
The world has never seen R9 full potential.He was cut above the rest.Without injuries you can't compare him with humans.He just won World cup after coming back from the worst injuries;others couldn't do it at their peak!THE PHENOMENON!
Even after his injury he was still a great player!
@@footballista2480none better!he was simply unstoppable!the greatest ever touched the ball.Sir Boby Robson,zidane said it all about him!
The world has never seen R9 full potential. i think so
Agree. but at that time there was also another player, great technical ability, great speed, playing like a painter creating art, goes toe to toe with Ronaldo in Serie A, but same fate, a crushing injury. Another phenomenal, Alessandro Del Piero. Boy, what a year in italian football. both are still good after injury, but they can became much much, much more
@@taruna39 every players dream was to play in Italy on these days.If you want to be the best?you've got to fight against the best.That was what R9 did.He could've stayed in Barca and score 200(just saying) goals in one season
Best player of all time..he had all good qualities together. A perfect player.. legend.. 🐐 "phenomenon"
Honestly respect nothing else i can't say about this guy even Maradona said he was gonna be best of all time if he didn't have the injuries
He is the best cf of all time
You must know Maradona is cocaine addict
Khan cocaine or not ya still know a good player when ya see one
@@jakebinns806 with cocaine you feel like flying so on cocaine if you watch football match it will feel like movie saolin soccer
but he did have those injuries and for that fact he cant be considered the best
Young R9 at Barca was akin..in footballing terms..To a young Mike Tyson late 80's/early 90's..Basically..THE most daunting and formidable thing you've EVER seen in your life
@John wayne He barely fought any great fighters when he was older either. And when he did he lost.
Great way to put it.
That's a nice comparison, well put
Nothing like Mike Tyson , Tyson lost every true fight he was ever in never had the heart for the fight , he never beat a top fighter in their prime , he never got off the canvas to win a fight , quit when he came back because Hollyfied smacked him about long story short Ronaldo was everything Tyson wasn’t .
Michael Jordon.
This guy is my greatest of all footballers. He is the phenomenon
The most talented and greatest in the history and he just showed us 70% of his max potential becoz of injuries
Insane talent at such a young age.
Footballista24 its natural talent and he hated training aswell. Partying instead
I agree
I think this was Maradona whit his broken left ankle 😂but Ronaldo surely the best of the last 30 years
Pelé was much better than Ronaldo. Maradona was better than him too. Romario was better, also.
I lived in Madrid at the time, and I enjoyed Ronaldo’s year in Spain - I speak as a Madridista.
If I wanted an entertainer, I would call Ronaldinho
If I wanted to wreck their tactics, I would call Messi and CR7
And if I wanted to win, I would call the Phenomenon
Very Well said.
@@footballista2480 Ronaldo in his prime did all of that (minus the champions league)
If I wanted to end players their careers and win I would call the Phenomenon
@@bolder2009 In his prime, he never got to play in the champions league. So how do you win it when not in it?
Dumbest comment ever
I remember seeing him in 1993 as a 16-year old. From his very debut, he was tearing up in the Brazilian League, which at the time was still quite strong and full of National Team-caliber players. Around the same time, there was another Brazilian who was a few years older than Ronaldo, but just as incredible: Dener. A few months before the 1994 WC, coach Carlos Parreira wasn't sure whether to call up Ronaldo or Dener. Unfortunately, Dener died in a car accident in April 1994, leaving some of us wondering what could have been.
Wow, RIP Dener
Wow! What a tragedy! I'd never heard of Dener. Thanks for sharing.

@@nadaentreaspas sou brasileiro também. Torço pro fluminense e lembro de 4x0 pro Vasco em cima do Flu que ele arrebentou. Eu era criança meu ídolo era o Ezio, sofri neste dia.
Dener was very good, but you cannot compare. He was 5 yo older the Ronaldo. At the same age Dener had in 94, Ronaldo was not only the best brezilian, but the best player in the world
Fenomeno❤❤❤...Greatest Footballer Ever Step feet into the pitch
He possessed everything a footballer required. Speed, physic, precision, power, quick feats, couldn't distinguish which was his natural foot. He's a combination of Merci and C. Ronaldo. My choice of club was conditioned on Where R9 plays.
He was a beautiful player to watch indeed. Very skilled.
"My choice of club was conditioned on Where R9 plays." We were two of a kind then. I stopped supporting any club when he retired from football. Besides, while he was still active for his country; I always supported Brazil against any other country.
@Justin Case The robotic and stiff CR7 can't dribble past ONE defender, let alone a whole team like Ronaldo used to do on a regular basis.
no he didnt possess everything. weak headers, weak foot power, average free kick taker and injury prone. he was great, but there were other more complete players like totti and batistuta, during that time.
@@emiliospowerballer1441 Pelé is the most complete of all time.
By the way, disagree with weak foot power. Ronaldo could and did deliver some very strong shots from outside the box.
Agree with the rest.
He was incredible this season. He stood out amongst greats like Guardiola and Figo, as a 20 year old!!!
That fact is often forgotten!
Footballista24 100% agree.
I never see Guardiola was that great. Not because I was blinded by Ronaldo. Even before ronaldo came, I hardly see him as that great player. If it weren't because his success as a manager in Barcelona, I wouldn't even care whether is a professional player or not. But figo might be different, but still wasn't that great.
There was also Stoichkov, Popescu, Bakero, Sergi, Blanc, Couto, and Prosinecki (who was benched).
Calling Guardiola a great is the biggest joke I have ever heard
Was truly a tragedy when he got injured 😔 I was only around 10 or 11 and can remember crying like a baby 😭 He was without a dowt one of the very best players to play the game, but the way he played he was 100% my all time favourite
It was sad, but we have to appreciate what he did during his career.
i still remember it,i was watching that game in tv,its was awful for all the football lovers to see what happened,he come back from an injury and in 6-10 minutes on the pitch,the knee betray him,even the rival team players was in shock from that :( Too bad we never seen a prime R9 and we watched only a young R9,still the best player i ever seen.
@@r4yzzzz
Young R9>Messi & CR7 Prime
The Barcelona president really wanted to sign the fenomeno 😂 he went all out
Going all out to get his man!
So did the president at inter milan, Moratti and then even in his career's twilight, despite the real madrid coach warning the AC milan president that he doesnt have it within him anymore and that he would not be wort the money, the AC milan president still bought him even if he played only 9 matches in 2 years. That is how much the people in Italy romanticized with him and all of this romantcization is only at the back of one season, 97 season. Other wordly especially since he was only 20 years old then.
And yet the stupid Barcelona fans always claim they only produce players in la masía GTFO 😂😂💀
@@JC_ORTIZ
Always? No.
Better, way better than Real Madrid? Yes
FuntimeGHz Barcelona it’s been a buyer club their entire history don’t get shit twisted examples ( Maradona,Ronaldo Nazario , Cruyff ,Romario, Stoichkov and i can keep going ) my point the biggest stars of Barcelona history didn’t came from la masía with exception of Messi
A monster! The best player ever seen at the last times.
The young R9 looked like the young Mike Tyson.
Super strong.
Ronaldo remains the best player I have ever seen, all the other great players wished to be like him at his best.
This guy was my idol, the walls of my room were full of his posters..🔥🔥🔥🔥I salute him 4ever
My eyes are filled with tears watching ths video about O fenomeno el Fenomeno The Phenomenon!!!
The real Goat...
@G Galeno Pele is second!
Pele is overrated
@@rayzzeerrfire1401 massively 😂
@@acaseforgod707 nah Maradona is 2nd
nah, Messi is the Goat.
The age he did it says it all, for a big club like Barcelona to miss out on a league title because a kid was unavailable
Absolutely. And with great players around too.
It was the coincidence that is the reason why there is no champions league trophy.
When he is missing or injured his team looses.
I'm barca fan it's sad that he spend only one season at barca
Yeah bro, it just because spain league is not entertaint like Serie A at those day.
@@wimpieyuwono2550 The italian league was more difficult at that time
Ronaldo Fenomeno nettamente il più forte di tutti....del passato e del presente!!!
Armed robbery 😂😂 indeed a great player. He's huge now and owns most of real Valladolid so I'm glad he's still doing well it seems 😀
Yes! Still a legend to this day.
Damn that Barca President is the definition of “getting it done”. The current president should sign Neymar back like that
He's gotta get creative for sure.
Neymar is still at the top of your mind in 2020??
There are so many world class players that are available
Yet you want to bring back a player that is actively being sued by the club
Neymar is a pussy. Cry baby. No talent.
Neymar ?? Ha ha they sold for 200m why buy back. Overrated
@@samuelastudillo1484 I'm sorry man but I disagree with the no talent. I definitely agree with you that neymar has a 18 years old mentality while in a body of 28. But u can't deny that he has a enormous talent where in my opinion is the 2 best in 1v1
Good job man ! thanks to celebrate this pure genius.
Great vid - thx for sharing
G.O.A.T
Messi the goat
My all time favourite R9
Excellent video, well done, great work
Brilliant work. Subscribed.
Where do you guys think this incredible season ranks amongst the greatest seasons in football history? List your top 3 individual seasons of all time below in the comments, let's find out!
Footballista24 1-Messi 2011-2012 2-Cr7 2013-2014 3- Messi 2018-2019 ... All the top 10 is probably Messi and Ronaldo, the only other i can think of that could be in the top 10 is Suarez 2015-2016, Suarez 2013-2014, R9 96-97, Ronaldinho 04-05, Neymar 14-15 ...
But even an "average" season of messi and cr7 like Messi 10-11, messi 14-15, messi 12-13 or cr7 11-12, 14-15 or 15-16 are as good if not better than that.
And i dont talk about pele, eusebio, gerd muler ect because it was at an era were football was completely different so its impossible to compare, but pele probably dominated his era as much as messi and cr7, so if we judge strictly based on the level of their respctive era, pele is probably there too.
He is the best of all time
Nice vdo man you sumed Ronaldo's abilities very nicely in a that vdo and off course there will be no other player who is better then👑 Ronaldo #R9 neither in world cup nor in clubs.🇧🇷❤️
Been watching football since 1992 till now. (Born in 1985.). Never seen anything like this man. Unstopable force, born to play football. Speed, Strenght, Agility, Skills, Clinical, had everything. Just Magic. Hope we one day see something like this again, but I'm not sure we will.
Same age as you mate and I couldn't agree more he's my favourite player in our lifetime
@@kingsleysummers1410im not even born before 2000 but i know r9 is something we will never see agian
There was nothing like him, just insane, total power and talent and the goal as only objective, what a season, seen nothing like that, although Messi is the greatest, cause consistently have shown being from other planet, that Ronaldo season was just crazy. Ah you had to mention Ivan de la Peña, "Lo pelat" he was his assistant of goals...
the best ever
Great great great video and amazing crisp clear footage
Your channel deserved to by ranked way higher among football channels
Keep it up
Appreciate it man, there will be a lot more coming
awesome video! keep up the good work
There's never been a player as good as El Fenomeno (of the same age) before his injury at Inter. Young Messi, young CR7, young Maradonna, etc. - none of them were close to his level when they were under 22 years old.
I disagree, watch Messi at 20/21, he was incredible and was at right wing whereas Ronaldo was at no 9. I think you can have the opinion that was Ronaldo was better but you can also say that Messi was just as good. Look at what he did against Chelsea on a 50’s type of muddy pitch against a really good defensive mourinho unit who were trying injure especially del horno but he was the best player on the pitch them even w the great ronaldinho on the field, against Juve around that time maybe even a few years earlier and Real Madrid at around that age he would destroy them.
kajestro m. Lol what Messi was easily one of the best players in the world in 2007 and oh yeah he was also probably the best dribbler just behind Ronaldonho at that age as well!!
Not close to his level? You must be kidding me. Young Messi was better, he was an absolute monster so watch what you are saying.
stop comparing, the fact is R9, CR7, Messi, Ronaldinho, and others, they are all legends, goat
@@BenTheVideoGamer r9 was better at that age
It wasn't the best season..it was just the best forward of all times doing his thing.....
The most naturally gifted player that has ever been. Strength to hold off defenders, expert in exploiting gap between opponent's Midfield and defence, pace to run past the quickest RBs and LBs, highly capable of long range shots, exceptional in one vs one against GKs and lasg man in defence. His knee injury and the guy who did it and his teammates were despicable in the way they set out to stopping him by any means(led to injury) If he wasn't injured badly at such a young age, he would've won many Ballon d'Or, UCL, World Cups, Copa America, league titles. The crazy thing is you can be confident and say for sure that he would've been the greatest ever to play the game. Such a pleasure to watch him even though he didn't play for your club or your country.
Nice video!
His Inter Milan 1997-1998 season was even better than his Barcelona season. Even more impressive as he was playing against, the very best defenders in the world , on a weekly basis & marking mincemeat of them.
Was his Barcelona 1996-1997 the best one season ever ? Pelé 1961-1962 , Eusébio 1964-1965, Best 1967-1968, Cruyff 1973-1974, Zico 1980-1981, Platini 1983-1984, Maradona 1985-1986, Ronaldinho 2004-2005, Messi 2010-2011, were all pretty spectacular as well.

Guys. This man was above legends, a demigod. But Messi's 73 goal season gotta be it. But Ronaldo was 20 on DEBUT season 😭😭
That’s the situation man, so many great seasons to choose from
Big difference, Messi plays with a balloon football, and average defenders who not only don't tackle, can't tackle. R9 was hacked and chopped but still beat everyone, and they were legendary Italian defenders, Maldini, Nesta, Costacurta, Cannavaro etc... He destroyed the best defenses and defenders in the history of the game, because he is the best in the history of the game! Anyone who doesn't admit that don't know football!
@@acaseforgod707 Bruh, messi was also toying with roberto carlos, cannavaro, ramos and the entire legendary madrid defenders back then
@@yogap6162 theres something different about El Phenomeno. He was just something special to watch. My first jersey i bough was a brazil 9. Messi and CR7 are some of the best footballers to ever live. But R9 was something powerful
@@yogap6162 old legends by then, physic matters. Roberto Carlos was another phenomenon. Also, Messi had always had the best barcelona squad of all time. Ronaldo was playing one season in a very chaotic barca.
Great vid about the 🐐
Yes it is!
Pure TALENT.
Garrincha, Eusebio, Di Stefano, Puskas, Baresi, Cruyff, Didi, Tostão, Jairzinho, Falcão, Platini, Van Basten, Romário, Sócrates, Beckembauer (what this man did as a defender was unreal), Maldini, , Baggio, Rivaldo in his best days, Ronaldinho in his best days, Zidane, Figueroa, Charlton, Laudrup, Mathews, Best, Zizinho, Mathaus. Those are geniuses of the sport who some might not have had the longevity but at their best were nearly every little bit as good as Messi and Ronaldo (some actually better than Cristiano actually but he does have the longevity in his favour and unbelievable numbers and work ethic that make him an absolute legend). Now, the world of football for people who truly know it has always been lacking a bit in terms of organization of competitions and regularity overall so you can't judge some of these players by their stats or titles (although all of then won a lot), you truly have to watch then play and study their careers to realize how special they are. My personal top 5 would be
1-Pelé: Seriously the dude isn't overrated, he is/was indeed the perfect football player and a crazy athlete, the reaction time, the fucking chip shots from outside the box with his left foot on freaking awful pitches and with bad cleats and a heavy ass ball are probably the most impressivel thing I've ever seen from a football player and the guy was a dribbling god as well. You watch him play to realize it has nothing to do with era he would be the best at anytime, the split second body feints you see Messi do today, one can recognize that same type of instinct on Pelé, that's the natural gift only a few even amongst the greatest have. The most complete player ever, could literally do anything, there were zero flaws in his game; strong and skillful, fast as hell, 44 inch vertical leap (Pelé actually dunked playing basketball in Brazil despite being only 1.73m tall), one of the greatest headers ever, BY FAR the greatest finisher overall in the history of football (I personally have Romário, Cristiano and Van Basten as my tie for second but overall from all distances, angles and with both legs Pelé is above anyone); dude was born to play football
2-Maradona: Again, another god; had he been a little better finisher he would have been the greatest in my opinion. Still, it's almost impossible to describe what it felt like watching the guy play at his best, I mean if anyone wants an example go watch the quarterfinals and semifinals of the 86 WC against England and Belgium, it wasn't only the goals, he alone by himself created about 6 chances per game it was insane, he was a savage spirit with the natural talent of a greek god on teh field
3-Messi: an alien, in a class by himself over anyone I've seen in the past 20 years for sure and you watch him even I sometimes ask myself if I still think it's possible that there it ever was someone at his level. Not gonna say much about him coz the videos are out there as he's playing in the modern era.
4-Ronaldo: This one is a special case, R9 was the single most talented individual to ever to put on a pair of cleats in my opinion, yes even more than Pelé, Maradona or Messi. The sheer level of raw potential will never ever be matched in my personal opinion, had he not ruptured his knee at only 22 years old god knows what his career would looke like, and even then at about 60% of what he should have been he was still ahead of Zidane, Henry, Figo, Rivaldo or anyone else in the late 90s early 2000s. I don't know how to explain it, like before his injuries I can't really describe it coz you see he never played at a truly great team with a system to maximize his talents and still it was something unique. I mean I'll put it this way; watching Messi, Maradona and Pelé, all of then they broke the mode, they are aliens but you see then get the ball and you, knowing then, try to picture in your head what they can do to get out of a situation. It's gonna be impossibly hard but they still are able to do it that's why they are who they are, but with Ronaldo what happened is that even me watching I could not imagine what he was he had just done next, it was something that didn't seen humanly possible at times the level he showed in some matches, and all of that knowing that he never had a team that fed him the ball nearly as much as they should. I mean, he was the unquestioned best player in the world from the time he was 19 till his injury, living through that time NO ONE even questioned it and he was freaking 20 years old and there were guys like Zidane, Berkgamp, Figo, Baggio, Nedved, Rivaldo, Romario, Edmundo, Del Piero, but no one had any doubt that 20 year old guy was the best… it was unreal
5-Zico: Most complete midifielder I've ever seen and second most complete player ever behind Pelé for me, could do anything even acrobatic passes and goals. Unbelievably underrated, talent wise every bit as good as anyone I've ever seen, I mean he was basically a Messi on the midfield who could shoot nearly as well as Pelé and is by far the greatest close range free kick taker ever. The only reasons he would be fifth behing the other 4 here is the diference is while he could dribble past 3 or 4 people on the run as well and score solo goals, his speed overall was a tad below the other 4.
Out of those 5 for me all others are very hard to rank coz all of then are gods of the game as well, how is it we decide who's better than who? Do you consider the totality of their career? Do you consider how good they were in their best 2 or 3 year stretch? For me it’s pretty simple, I go by what my eyes tell me and the talent I see in each player, if we were playing a ramdom match at the park in my neighborhood and I got the first pick who would I choose out of everyone that has ever played football (all of then in their best version)? That's why those 5 are in a special class for me, followed very closely by Garrincha (people need to understand how good this man was, sometimes watching him you feel like he only got away with the thing he did coz of the era but then you think again and one on one no defender ever then, now or in the future would take the ball away from him), Cruyff (best european player ever for sure in my opinion, not much to be said dude was like athletic like Jairzinho with the class of Zidane), Di Stefano (for me the greatest player ever until the 1960s, very similar to Cruyff actually), Romário (unbelievable, for me ahead of Van Basten, Eusebio or any other striker ever in terms of pure talent and skill only behind Ronaldo for me), Beckembauer (holy shit BY FAR the greatest defender ever and I’m even including Maldini and Figueroa in the conversation) and Rivelino (talent wise as an individual player I think he was better than Zidane, Rivaldo, Baggio and many others)
You sure love Football 😤
You seem like you really know football lol , well done . However did you forget Hagi or wasn't he that good ?
Great information mate,You helped me to know more about football
Great information mate, you helped me to know more about football
Great read! Your points may be the best I've seen in a comments section for who the greatest player ever is. It's definitely a hard one to judge because there are too many factors to consider but I agree with the eye test and the playground analogy. Statistics should always compliment an argument especially in football so I'm not into using them for determination. Some hat-tricks are less valuable than others if you know what I mean..
In saying that, the top 5 that I would pick based for my playground team who i think were best (from what I've seen at their peak in entire games, not just highlights)
1. Messi
2. Ronaldo (Brazil)
3. Maradona
4/5 tie Ronaldinho / Zidane
Cant say Pele as I've never seen a full game on a regular basis. Are there games where he doesn't turn up yet wins and gets the glory? 🤷♂️
My list wasn't easy and it's very close. I could have put Ronaldinho at the top quite easily (my favourite player to watch) but other factors come into play like consistency, trophies etc.
Becomes a much more interesting conversation when you start to consider the factors from a different perspective
With some more production value you’ll go to the top my friend
Otimo video
i remember watching him play at Inter when he arrived thanks to Gazetta Footbal Italia.
For me he is the best player i have seen play.
In a league where defenses were the tightest around he managed to fin his way through and score time and again againt some of the if not the best defenders of that era!
He's my favourite player of all time as he got me watching european football and not just the Premier League.
In my opinion he is the best number 9 in football.
R9 playing in any of these super tactical post guardiola teams would have twice the goals CR7 has, simply because R9 has much more skills. Christiano has the best hair. The kids nowadays think that football begun 10 years ago with PS3.
Best Individual Seasons imo from what I can think of..
Messi 2011/12 - 72 Goals and 29 Assists in 60 Games
Muller 1972/73 - 67 Goals in 49 Games
Puskás 1959/60 - 47 Goals in 36 Games
Eusébio 1967/68 - 50 Goals in 35 Games
Matthäus 1990/91 - Won Ballon d’Or and World Cup in 1990....Also scored 23 Goals in 46 Games for Inter, remarkable achievement for a CDM..
Beckenbauer 1972/73 - Helped Munich win their 2nd Bundesliga title in a row...also scored 15 Goals during the mentioned season, remarkable achievement for a Defender..

Henry 2003/04 - Part of the “Invincibles” who scored 39 Goals and provided 14 Assists!
Kahn 2000/01 - Won Bundesliga and UCL with Bayern and was 2nd in Ballon d’Or race..
Cruyff 1966/67 - 41 Goals in 41 Games as an attacking midfielder was unheard of during the 60s...The Innovator making his mark in Football..
That’s a good list and I like how you have players in different positions instead of just forwards. But no room for CR7?
Its funny how you don't mention the Cristiano Ronaldo 2001-2012 season where he scored at every team in La Liga, being only 2 goals behind Messi with 47 goals for Pichichi... But Ronaldo won La Liga that season for Real Madrid, being more consistent doing also better than Messi in Champions League where he scored 10 goals and Real Madrid only didnt won Champions that year because they lost in penalties vs Bayern.
Messi scored 73 goals, but around 10 of those goals were squeezed in minor competitions
While Ronaldo barely played spanish Cup that season because Mourinho Was focus in winning the tittle and he still scored 60 goals in 55 games.way better than other players you drescribe in your comment...
But in the end your just another messi fan boy.
lmao at that list without CR7. CR7 has like 10 seasons better than the vast majority of those.
CosmoCircleTv...I do not know about cr7’s stats that’s why I didn’t mention it...pretty stupid of you to assume that I didn’t mention him because I don’t like him....it’s idiotic people like you that makes me hate him...penaldo fanboy
Diogo Serra lol “10 seasons better” 😂😂😂
Really shows how powerful Serie A was back then. Can't imagine any Italian club successfully poaching a Barcelona player today. Not even Juventus.
Nice video bro 👌
A little correction info there. Johan Cruyff recommended & signed Ronaldo from the Dutch league to Barca but left his post as the head coach at the same summer. You wonder how unfortunate for the player himself not to be coached by the Dutch maestro who was the perfect manager that brought total football with him as a player & implemented attacking freestyle as a coach for the 8 years in charge? Rather than an Englishman with no experience in La Liga or playing attractive attacking style. Also no pedigree in winning big trophies like Johan’s
I believe it was Bobby Robson who suggested they sign Ronaldo as he had him at PSV. This is in the Bobby Robson story.
Lee Utting & you couldn’t be more wrong. Between 92-96 Bobby was managing in Portugal (Sporting Lisbon & Porto) Phenomeno signed with PSV in 94 & played couple seasons there so he couldn’t manage him or be even near him at all as Bobby left couple seasons earlier before even Phenomeno signed ok. whilst Johan used to monitor & follows the Eredivisie since he’s Dutch btw in case you forgot & was well known for spotting young talents from there to import them to Barcelona (Ronald Koeman 1989 from PSV) as an example. Stop taking credits from others & trying to label them as “English brands” ok. It’s 2020 mate. Your old fashion mumbo jumbo doesn’t work with the current world wide social media ok. People can check & see. You couldn’t even get the dates right. Try another story next time. Cheers
Rafi David wtf are you babbling on about. An interesting reply and accusations given at no point did I state stuff you’ve ranted about. I only stated it what was said in the documentary. Put your toys back in your pram.
Bobby Robson had no pedigree? Now who is showing they know nothing. He won various things with a provincial town club in England plus various titles abroad. Managed England too. Comparing him to one of the best players and an excellent manager who himself learnt from a great manager is rather harsh. Plus I think you’ll find he won trophies, 3 cups, at Barcelona in that season too. Check you facts mate
This is the best Futbol channel on UA-cam
Appreciate it a lot man, there's a lot more to come!
I was such a honor seeing this guy finish his carrer on my team.
He was unstoppable in Barcelona, the reason I fell in love with football!
Fun fact: At this time Ronaldo (R9) was called Ronaldinho.
not true.
he had lost that moniker after the 96 Olympics
@@christianvera7631 Here in Brazil, Ronaldo was Ronaldinho until R10 became a huge monster. R10 was called by Ronaldinho Gaucho, not only Ronaldinho in that time.

R9 at Barcelona was amazing. But Messis 91 goal season is the best of all time
hes the most naturally gifted player of all time. if he didnt have injuries and was as professional as cristiano he would be the best ever without any doubt
El mejor jugador q he visto en mi vida!!! Daba miedo , lo sufrí mucho como madridista, gracias a dios q solo jugó un año en el barza. Se imaginan si no se hubiera ido a Italia y si no hubiera tenido tantas lesiones? Cuantos balones de oro tendría?? Mis respetos para vos Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima sos un fenómeno 👍🏻
Can't imagine if he stay at Barcelona. Absolutely better than Messi
Video game player in real life? When my friend first told me about him he said there was a guy doing real life Captain Tsubasa.
Самый талантливый футболист за всю историю футбола!
I agree best season ever by any player, nothing can compare!
Maradona, R9, George Best...3 guys who themselves didn't know how good they were.
Well, I remember these times very well, and I can tell you that his first season with Inter, was a lot more impressive. In fact, the level he reached during the 1997-98 season, is untouchable to date.
Best player of all time before the knee injuries. Never see someone do what he was doing at such a young age.
Phenomenal
Just imagine Ronaldo and Romario together at that time
That’s scary to even think about 😂
So many forget how good Romario was.. but saying that so was Zico...
Footballista24 and they did play together. Didn’t lose a game when they started together I believe.
They did play together for Brazil. During the 1997 Copa América, their attacking duo became knows as Ro-Ro, and, together, they scored 20 goals and won all 6 games in the competition in absolutely SMASHING performances by both of them. They also won the Confederations Cup that same year for the national team.
Look it up.
@@sisenor5249 Thank you for teaching us this.
I almost cry watching this vid, he was bigger than Messi is nowadays, back in his time
The numbers, achivments, record breaking value
Wow! That's awesome, he really was amazing back in the day!
Bigger than Messi? You're clueless
When you see one that started watching the game when messi and cr7 started you will know them.... messi ,cr7 are media hyping, they never won the biggest trophy despite playing in a big national team too,,,, they even had poor or no records in the biggest tournament there
He was a force of nature before the knee injury. Simply unstoppable. It was like he wasn't for from this world, like an adult playing against kids. And he was so young! Even after the injury he changed the way he played and overcame the pain to became world champion and best player of the world again in 2002. He is simply the best foward in history.
Thank you
Ronaldo,the best ever!!!!!!
Could have won a quadruple. If he’d been around for that game 3 games before the end of the season.
The good old days❤
🔥🔥🔥🔥
His first season at inter he was arguably better. If not for injuries he could have been the greatest of all time
he is the greatest, only maradona achieved a dame level
He certainly was great at Inter as well! If only he didn't get injured..
Should’ve never gone to the italian league easily his biggest mistake ever
@@gangstadu94 messi achieved a higher level than r9,r9 never had the playmaking skills messi had,messi is arguably the best dribbler of his era,goalscorer and playmaker
@@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960 yeah and thats why he is unable to win anything with argentina. messi is in my top 3 but not on the same level as Ronaldo. im done talking to all you millenials who did not even see r9 play
Nobody talks about how stupid it was of him to leave a team that was set to conquer the world with him as the star player. Instead he listened to his money-hungry managers and went to Inter, which, with all due respect was never going to compete with the likes of Milan and Juve of that time.
The problem also was that the italian league destroyed his explosiveness completely because of all the bodies that were thrown on him at that time also because at that time the italian league was the most physical league we had ever seen in football!!
Agree. I think he would not have been injured the way he was if he had stayed at La Liga and Barca
U all talking rubbish!...why dembele can't come back to his dortmond days?....r9 the best #9 i have seen played the game!...even when all the current stars get so much hyped,he still way above them!
@@craigmillington837 Dembele cant be compared to R9. Ronaldo left a world class team where he scored around 50 goals in his first season for a shitwreck of a team like Inter of that time. Two years in before his first big injury and all he had won was Uefa Cup. He left a superteam for whatever reasons. Bad move. All he has to show after that first promising season is one Uefa Cup and that World Cup. One good season in Madrid and that's it.
Best comment about this video. Some people prefer money over team.
Com 17 anos e ja era campeão do mundo pela selecção do Brasil...este tem de ficar no top 10
first time I ever saw Ronaldo play was when they played against Valencia and Ronaldo scored a hattrick. I was a kid and didn't follow any clubs, that day I became a Barcelona fan
Best individual season ever - :O
Messi 2011/2012
@@ddagar5796 Not even close. R9 was another level. And even Messi had better seasons than that.
Stop with this commedy... Cristiano and messi are the greatest players of all time and you should accept that😉
@@ddagar5796 CR is not even a top 10 player ever. He is just a scoring machine without brain.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is so funny
I honestly believe him and Adriano are football's biggest what-if stories.
73 goals and 28 assists over 100 goals contributions in just 60games I don’t think any season can top In watever era . La praga
No one can be comparable to R9 The Phenomenon Ronaldo. A True Number 9 Legend of Soccer/Football History.
We have never seen another no. 9 star like him since.
Make one about Henry and the unbeatables, bergkamp henry combo was killer!
My idol!!! R9
Was sat about 8 rows behind the goal in Nantes '98 when he scored his first ever world cup goal... Prob my favourite moment watching live football.
That's an amazing experience man. That was in his prime days
@@footballista2480 yeah there was a lot of buzz around him at that time, shame the tournament ended the way it did for him... The Brazilian fans were immense as well, women in grass skirts dancing, 2 crazy old timers kept leaving their seats to hype up the crowd & start Mexican waves in front of us... Best match I've been to by far!
Proud that Ronaldo played for PSV..
Back when all defenders were hatchet men and the balls were rock hard
To me and many, the best in the history of soccer....I had the pleasure to watched Ronaldo and followed his soccer career from the very beginning, used to loved romario and Maradona, and many more amazing players and though I would never seen players like them, but then ronaldo came out during the times they were leaving. And I was just amazed by this kid, with just 19 years old, he was just at a different level of everyone else......speed, strength, skills, right and left foot, his dribbling was just crazy, just gave him the ball and he could take on 3, 4, 5 defenders on his own.....IL FENOMENO....
Messi, Pele, Maradona and CR7 eat your hearts out🤘
it really hurt me to see that happened. i couldnt understand it . what made me happy though was when he went to real madrid and ronaldinho destroyed them at the bernabeu and they gave him a standing ovation
