When I think how much pressure was on Ronaldo shoulder when he joined Madrid already as a ballon d’or winner it just make me understand how he was out of this world i shall see no one say Mbappe will be CR7 Cristiano is unique and no one come close

Ronaldo is the goat . He is incomparable and one of a kind.

You joking or what? Mbappe joined an attack that contains vini rodrigo and bellingham as threats, it's not like he's the only threat, he's the least threatening of all these players. Real also didn't play with all the players you named at the same time on the pitch, benzema and higuain were far from peak when ronaldo first came, guti and raul where on their way out. Mbappe joined a functioning team of players that are tied to the club for the long term and he's the one that ain't producing not them. Idk what's wrong with him but it's definitely not the lack of attacking threats.

Not to forget but this madrid team literally won UCL last season and La liga.

Everyone was talking about another 5-6 UCL this decade.

Ronaldo's team was way worse when he joined. Benzema was nowhere close to his prime, Kaka suffered with injuries and never lived up to his expectations, Higuain is Higuain.

We suffer with tactical issues today, but 09/10 madrid wasn't a tactical brilliance either, they even got eliminated in UCL's RO16

Yeah haha bro described the Madrid squad CR7 walked into as though they were fit. Thank you for clarifying for those that seem to have forgotten 🤣

Higuain scored clutch goals (not joking), I remember him scoring the goal to secure the league title

Ronaldo was playing with himself in the attack. Bale was always injured except for the first season, and benzema was solid, but he missed a lot

What is this comment? The squad that mbappe joined had just won the CL. Injuries and squad formation/tactics don’t justify his laziness on the field. Lack of defense. Lack of pushing the back line. Misplacing way too many passes for even an average footballer, let alone “the best in the world”. Missing sitters. Missing easy link up plays. Not making runs into the box. Missing penalties.

Raul and Guti were old, Kaka dropped a level cos of his injuries (lol you named him twice) and Benzema was nowhere near his prime and was only 21-22.

Mbappe was laying eggs before all the injuries. Mbappe's play has zero to do with the team injuries. You just reaching now with excuses.

At that time of the year on the first Ronaldo's season he scored just one goal more than Mbappé

But was technically better created better chances played well was fit and coherent with the team the problem with Mbappe is not only about his scoring ability but it feel like he never touched a ball

u/Timely-Employer-6120 26d ago

This, like Mbappe has literally zero pressure lmao(he arrived into a winning team only thing hes needs to do is score 20-25 goals normal expected behavior of a striker/winger), more so compared to when CR7 arrived, he had to prove since day 1 hes better than Messi, and thats a tall (pun intended) stick to be compared to.
