Wasn’t a spectacular match, remember very little now apart from Ronaldo playing and Henrik Larsson scoring the winner.
Also saw him play in the Super Cup when it was at CCS.
Both times I remember being mesmerised by Ronaldo. Outstanding athlete.
Probably biased for those reasons, but he’s the greatest ever for me.

Had tickets brought for me a fair few years ago for one of my birthdays for OT, took my brother with me (a villa fan) and he stood there completely gobsmacked with Ronaldo, seeing him live is mind blowing, you don’t appreciate the touches and movement on the bloke when watching him on tv

I'm old enough to remember Pele, however, whenever any archive of Pele is shown, it is invariably his missed goals that we get to see.
Puskas was very good, as was Di Stefano, but none of them as good as Ronaldo.

dont really like getting drawn into the debate between them, think we should just appreciate them both.

Totally agree, I read some of the nonsense on facebook of fans of each trying to trash the other.
Personally I like Ronaldo but Messi is equally as brilliant. I will be interested to see if Messi will be at the level of Ronaldo in 3 years time (Ronaldos age now)
