A compilation of Cristiano Ronaldo at his 'physical peak' for Real Madrid proves no other player can match his dedication to being the best.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is still in great shape at 36-years-old but he was a different animal back in 2011/2012.
It's regularly known as the season that helped Lionel Messi to a record 91 goals in a calendar year. Despite that, Ronaldo still managed to stand out.

Real Madrid won La Liga that year and a large part of that was Jose Mourinho's ability to get the absolute best out of Ronaldo.
He scored 46 goals and provided 12 assists to deliver Los Blancos' first league title in four years.
Yet to transform into the poacher we all know today, 'CR7' danced through defences from all angles at will.

Mourinho had actually implemented that change in the 2011 Copa del Rey final.
The Portugal international would pick up the ball wherever he wanted and more often than not, magic followed.
Ronaldo's passing ability is often overlooked and it's hard to understand why.
Fans have reacted to the video and they're arguing it deserves to be remembered despite Messi's season.

Ronaldo's focus nowadays is purely scoring goals and he likely won't be producing this highlight reel at Manchester United.
