Brilliant Thread Explaining Why Ronaldo Is The Best Ever Goes Viral

Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima might be the greatest player to have ever laced up his boots, fortunately for him he's at least in the conversation, and one thread might prove that to be the case.

There isn't really a way to be sure who the greatest footballer ever is. You can't just look at numbers because there's so many mitigating factors and trying to work out who would have played well in what generation is almost impossible.

The fact that we can't possibly ever know the answer is exactly what makes the whole debate so interesting and usually ends up with arguments about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Before those two though there was always a very good chance that the original Ronaldo would get brought up at some point. The Brazil forward was always considered the best out and out strikers of all time and only injuries stop him being talked about more often.

Now one thread has gone viral after making some very good points about why he may be the best ever:

An incredible career and an incredible player.

Who do you think is the greatest player ever?
