World has never seen a football player like this. Combination of physical strength, speed, unmatched technique and pure love for the game. No diving, no acting, no disrespect, no putting pressure on referees, simple goal celebrations and that contagious smile. Going through toughest challenges, both mental and physical, that one athlete can go through. The amount of pressure on the back of one 20 (twenty) year old, it's unreal he even came back. Most of the pros would just quit and retire. He played for both Real Madrid and Barca, both Inter and Milan, on top of it, everyone loves him. I don't think we are going to see that ever again. I agree, Messi and Cristiano are out of this world, their careers speak for them. When it comes to pure football, there is no second to Ronaldo, he was and is the best football player to ever played the game. He is football ! Movie amazingly portrayed and put in focus that blurry and most painful part of his career. We all have seen/ read / heard numerous stories about that 98 final. Stayed silent while rewatching those injuires, think how, why.. Watching all of this, I just appreciate his greatness even more. I will end this with a quote from late Sinisa Mihajlovic: "Worst thing is, Ronaldo runs in a counter attack and Nesta and me are alone in the defence."
