in today's era it is difficult to compare Ronaldo's reputation with other players, maybe only messi is able to compete with him. Ronaldo is not only able to play a role on the field, he can also be an icon in other fields such as raising other reputations for anyone who is able to have it.
Until now, I still haven't found a young player who can set the same record as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. I mean both of these players are absolutely incredible. Not just because they score a lot of goals. But their style of play and the way they look for opportunities and create opportunities is truly extraordinary. I hope there will be a next generation who can be like them. I once hoped that the younger generation like Arda Guler and Lamine Yamal could become great players too. But I see they are not as consistent as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Likewise, I had hopes for Vini Jr and Mbappe but well they are still not comparable to these two legendary players. But that doesn't mean today's young players aren't great. Of course they are great. But no one has been able to match the level of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi up to now on the field when they were still young. The transfer of these two players who both left Europe initially made me a little sad. but in the end their age no longer allows them to compete in European clubs at this time.
Yeah, this is absolutely right. Today young players have not the competency to play like Messi and Ronaldo. There is no doubt that the player of today's era is also a good player, but these players do not have the quality that was found in Messi and Ronaldo. Yes, those people i.e., Messi Ronaldo, have not been considered GOATs only because of scoring more goals, but because of their unique style of play and consistent work, That's why the title GOAT has been given to them. These two were monsters of football. They know how to manage Injuries i.e., like the players of the era, they didn't get injured after every second or third match. Here is the biggest issue among today's players: they get injured quickly and take months to recover. Despite Messi and Ronaldo didn't get injured every time, and even if they get injured, they would recover quickly.
Let me add that both players are the beauty of football, but age is a factor that does not leave a person in the same condition. So, today's players could not reach the level of both of them. They perform well for a couple of seasons, after that they get injured and after that, they cannot perform well again. Therefore today's players are not even close to the level of Messi and Ronaldo.
