The Time When The 20 Year Old Ronaldo Outclassed The Whole French Team 

A true talent

A monster can't be stopped. Defenders tried the same with Pele, it didn't work. Some tried with CR7 during his peak years as well, didn't work. Ronaldo lost 3-0 to France at that time, not so good after all.

shimizu67 Bruh r u fresh? Did u not know what happened to him before the game? The biggest conspiracy theory in football was what had happened to him and I personally think he got drugged and someone did something dodgy to him

And they still couldn’t do it

@@shimizu67 You sound like you are 10 years old, clearly know fuck all

Quite tall aswell he had no weakness after messi it’s him for me

and unlike Penaldo, he wasn't a diver.

Ok, all those skills, my favorite player R9… but his injuries were caused by himself of indiscipline, he confessed that he didn't train and didn't eat like a real pro ! And not talk about him party life out of

@@AM-fo6eilmao his injuries were caused by a chronic knee condition

​@@AM-fo6ei BS! He never said that he never trained and in fact he said he did train way too much in a way that didn't fit his characteristics, he blames his injuries on the way that he was trained back then and how sports fitness was still developing compared to today. He said all that in a recent interview for a Brazilian podcast channel. You never read or watched him talking about it the way you described.

Eh he was great. Messi and cr7 have long since eclipsed him. And he was never as great as maradonna or best either

@@soup8786 Nah, only Maradona that hadn't he surpassed. Messi and CR7 are never as crucial as him in the team. His teams lost so many titles without him.

@@20fadhilRevolution Imo pre injuries Ronaldo was better than anyone, including Maradona. Mind you he was only 20, now imagine how good he would be at 25-26 without injuries.

@@alexcla9445 same

Yeah that's right

Srop being delusional and nostalgic. R9 was legendary, his prime was unstoppable, but it was so short. I agree, during his prime he was on a Messi Ronaldo level, but Messi and Ronaldo have kept their prime for 10+ years producing numbers and performances that cannot be matched.

@@ZaydQ10 messi and cristiano are playing against farmers lol they never won any big international trophies nor did they have as many and severe injuries as r9. They played at the best teams ever in an era where players are protected by the rules unlike r9 who played against monster defenders who tried to kill him. Sry but Cristiano is not even top 5

@@Ioannis_ nice joke

@@akg1301 looks like you can't stand the truth lol Go cry in a corner

I wouldn’t put Messi or cr7 in top 5 either top 7 sure but top 5 nah

I would definitely chose him over CR7 but if you would chose him over the god of football and the 🐐 than that’s just wrong…

no doubt...strikers were not protected as much either.

@@mrtheonexx8749 lol CR9 is the god of football.

You guys are so biased… Messi is easily the best of all time, he controls a game. Step overs and skill R9 is the best ever but that’s one category out of 100s in football. I think R9 is the second best striker ever behind Pele but that’s as far as I’d go. Visually R9 is arguable with Messi, Maradona and Ronaldinho but that’s not a fact. You guys mention that at 22 he had more goals than Messi, but that’s because a lot of those goals came in weak brazilian leagues and also weaker European leagues. Not to mention messi played as a winger in the early years in the best league in the world at the time. Messi at 19 was scoring Hattricks against Real Madrid playing as a winger LOL!!!! I understand the nostalgia and how amazing R9 was but let’s not make this into a fact because it far from it… Messi is close to 7 balon dors, 800 goals, 6 golden boots, 4 playmaker of the year and he’s not done yet….

@@am5790 who is CR9 lmao

They have to foul him to obstruct him

Nothing special tbh... Average player

Shaji Varghese he was the best but unlucky with couple of injuries that have ruined his career

@@cilongamthandeni8894 Saying Ronaldo an average player is like admitting you have no sense in football.

@@cilongamthandeni8894 like seriously...are u sure u ok?Calling R9 an average player lol

I AGREE WITH YOU BUT BRAZIL NOW IS TOTAL RUBBISH WITH THAT NEYMAR THING

They become more monstrous after ronaldinho R10 took the no. 10 jersey.

94’-02’

France smoked them in 98

@Henry Bryan so Brazil had no control of the game anyway they were routed easily

The games been beautiful from day 1

joga bonito

@a a yeah, remember that skit he did Vs turkey?

@@TheDazzler420 Turkish deserves it. He hit Rivaldo with the ball on purpose.

Ronaldo9 was good but comeon Messi is way and above. Okay i was joking, Ronaldo9 was awsome

Arfen Malik way above?what drugs you are on?messi is nowhere near Ronaldo.Ronaldo is the greatest that ever will be.messi is one of thr greatest,Ronaldo is the greatest.

@@PyroP7 i agree that Ronaldo9 was good, very good but he is not in my top three, he comes a distance number four

Arfen Malik okay,everyone has their opinions,I’m a die hard Cristiano Ronaldo fan,but when it comes to the greatest footballers ever,C.Ronaldo and Messi are 4th on my list.

@@arfenmalik1717 Ronaldinho is nowhere, if u say he is a top 10 player, you are ridiculous. Messi isn't better than R9. Messi and CR plays in a different, better time, that's all. R9 had perfect abilities, even better abilities than Messi, he was as big genius as Messi, but I think R9 was better a little bit. But if you watch some Maradona and Pele videos, you'll see an even higher level of briliance.

True

Shut your hole. Barthez sucks ass

@@dakkefernet8585 Hi IQ keyboard warrior detected right here

@@bahroum69 "bahroum69"

If it wasn't for R9 he wouldn't have the free kick.

Romario was the best Brazilian striker in early, mid 90ies. Ronaldo towards the second half of the 90ies. They both together. Great.

It would have been easier for Brazil to win the world cup

yahsiyanli daaaaaamn, I was like how the fuuuck!

like a magnet 🧲

Other stupids says that mpambe is better xaxxaxxaxa

With the one of the best defender tackling behide u aswell

My eyes just dropped out

Bevan Butler I’ve seen better . He has a hard touch he’s lucky he’s so fast to recover the ball everytime bc it’s not that smooth . Messi and obviously ronaldinho have better first touches

Dex Ter go watch anime kid

​@@dexter999994:15

brazilians people are portugueses my friends ^^

@@cenilson9195 that's the same thing as saying that people from the US are not American but Polish, French, Irish, Portuguese... But what have you.

Portuguese mio cazzo e una porpeta

But CR7 is better scorer

Sorry mate your wrong. Your own no 7 is far better

And hes fking strong, body balance

I am sure he was god gift,so many yeaes nobody near in him.

Add all 3 and you have Maradona

@@johnmullin3526 lol never.messi+cr7+maradona=ronaldo fenomeno.

@@mdohi9846 if you think that then you have never seen Maradona

@@johnmullin3526 i have seen them all. But they were nowhere near r9.

@@mdohi9846 R9 was brilliant running at goal and scoring goals but so was Maradona. Diego was also a playmaker and often picked up the ball from his own half and could either pass or run past everyone. They are both amazing and I think we both agree they are part of the special 5. The other 3 are Zidane, CR7 & Messi. I think Pelé, Cryuff, Platini & Di Stefano have all been evicted from the top 5 in the last 20 years. What do you think?

Hala Madrid with a Messi picture. 😁

He does the same for Benzema which is an average player

Ryu say what you want about benzema, but no average player can play for one of the greatest team, which win the champions league 4 times

Tran Chinh lol he played few time. It’s certainly not because of him that they got 4 champions league.

Ryu do you know just behind Messi and Ronaldo , Benzema is the 3 highest goal scorer in the champions league , who still plays and he's number 5 most goals scored in champions league history with 60 CL goals !

Just made an account to say how annoyed I am at all of you for saying R9 is better than Messi AHAHA. Thats insulting and 100% not factual and ridiculous. Was R9 amazing? YES was R9 one of the best in his time? YES. But comparing it to MESSI is almost laughable... Messi in his peak scored 91 goals in a calendar year and 73 in a season (I'm not even going to talk about assists). Put both of them playing in their peak and Messi would have almost double the goals and quadruple the assists of R9. You play peak R9 and he'll have 40-60 goals/assists and I'll pick Messi which will give me 130 goals/assists. IF's don't exist, R9 got injured because of the way he was playing. Part of being good is reading your body and taking proper fitness nutrition. R9 never won a CL and played in one of the greatest national teams ever... Messi scores free kicks, corners, penalties, every game for the past 15 years and all of them are a highlight, R9 had moments here and there. R9 in his best season wouldn't win a Ballon D'or over Messi in his best season from individual performances. Messi at 19 scored a goal like Maradona, hat trick against Madrid... Players peak at different times, R9 peaked too early and got injured... Messi IQ allowed him to peak all his career with different attributes

@@thau-bp6vp Just shut the fuck up, Messi fangirl

@@thau-bp6vp yes, after returning from the knee injury, ronaldo won a world cup, being the top scorer of world cups untill 2014, having lead brazil to the final.of another and was twice the best player in the world. how many cups messi has with his two healthy knees?

thau2018 imagine sayin messi is better.

@@thau-bp6vp don't you see back than every players try to kill him with deadly tackle everytime he has the ball, if messi playing in his era, he would never be messi today..

Carlos Perez as a guy who watched football since mid 90s I miss the glory era of 2 strikers at front. DelPiero Inzaghi, Ronaldo Romario, Cole Yorke, usually one is more of a target man and the other can create chance better but sometimes they can do both.

seems like you left watching football after 2004

Ronaldo the Phenomenon is the best player in the last 25 years!!!

for me, too. Scored in every single game. Never seen a team push the ball with three or four touches so fast up field.

prashant chandra , go and watch cricket.

one of the best battles and Gants of World Cup squad.

ELVISFX it is called R-rated superstars.

Nowadays the Rs are nightmare for them Remirez hahaha

Ronaldo is overrated tbh

Raheem Sterling

What about Kaka?

most say the best striker of all time i felt that also! very gifted, from a poor background yet football is everything to the brazilians,

That's funny but serious

Rocksteady greatest footballer*

@@PyroP7 tbh I like ronaldo so much but maradona and messi are slightly bettet

@@rocksteady2198 Only because Ronaldo never truly reached his real prime, ruptured his tendom at 22, imagine Messi in 2009 rupturing his tendom... So in terms of raw talent, R9 probably is the greatest

@@Luckymag-if4dw tbh. When it comes to style. I prefer Ronaldos. I also try to copy him as the fact he is tall as I am fast as I am and I also play the same position as he plays. He is my biggest influence from any other footballer. But! What messi and maradona did clearly baffles my mind. Coz they probably have done the craziest shit ever in football. I mean they are the only players that can get past a whole entire legendary defence (like real Madrid or big national teams) like its nothing. They have the craziest close ball control. They have the craziest agility. Craziest shooting accuracy (especially maradona) and craziest passing skills. All in one player. That is just insane.

@@Luckymag-if4dw and ronaldo for me also is the greatest athlete of all time (in football) coz he is just the fastest footballer ever!!! Even than cristiano ronaldo at his prime

What do you mean casually ? He's a legend in his own

Still R9 couldn't score.

@@Godplayzdice He scored and assisted against much stronger Italian defense though

@@Godplayzdice yup. Too many chances for such few goals

@@Godplayzdice Your reply wa sicccc. Really informative.

U forgot the recent euro cup against italian dedence

👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏 Agree

Yes i was surprised he didnt fall on the Vieira’s tackle !

It's better than watching Neymar rolling on field after being tackled. Hahahaha

Yup, and especially no Neymar on the Brazil team at that time. Otherwise you would definitely have a lot of it.

What’s missing is also a goal from him in that game. Well done Barthez

Ronaldo was better than them.. Power, pace, skill, zest.. Messi and Ronaldo of Portugal are not world cup legends

@Fer Nando watch for Mbappé is well ahead of Ronaldo, Messi nd cr7 at the same age but I mean very far, outclassing these 3 players.

@Fer Nando I am giving facts check the statistics with national teams in champions league all goals together at the same age and you wil stop lyao

@Fer Nando ronaldo.com/football-news/mbappes-stats-at-19-better-than-ronaldo-and-messis/

ronaldo is not even close to cr7 🖕

Psycoskills Football one of the

jack deng no not one of them. He is the best by far.

​@Im Eiichiro Oda my nigga Without a doubt. Messi's World Cup trophy cabinet is empty when Ronaldo single-handedly earned Brazil the 2002 World Cup with that world-class performance in the final against Germany. The real difference between the two is that Ronaldo is a big-game performer while Messi is not. And yes, the World Cup is the real difference maker; you can never be called one of the all-time greats if you don't have that notch on your belt. It's what separates the good from the legendary because if a player is that good, then he should have no problem winning the most coveted prize in world football.

Finalement, il a fait une carrière inférieure à celle de Messi...!

theperfectionist but you know Messi fan never understand.. I'm a Germany fan I know who he was..I have utmost respect for this guy..R9 was the greatest striker ever play this game..Messi nowhere near of him..

Like me I was born in November 2001,I never saw Ronaldo playing the game of football but just watching his documentaries which makes me to believe he was the best and still the best🙂🙂🙂

the problem the was on defense and since 2006 brasil keep having defense problem no neymar no romario will fix that

@@alex324ization WTF re u talking about??

Romário foi sabotado pela comissão técnica em 98, tendo grande influência de Zico nesta escolha, pois esse mesmo sabia que se Romário fosse campeão mundial em 98, assim como foi em 94, seria considerado melhor que Zico por aqui. A mídia aqui sempre quis dizer que Zico foi o melhor depois de Pelé, equecendo de grandes craques como Garrincha, Didi, Rivelino, Tostão, Falcão e outros. Mesmo não sendo convocado, aqui no Brasil é unanimidade que depois do Pelé, Romário foi nosso melhor jogador e goleador, seguido de Ronaldo Fenômeno. Em 90 Romário também não foi convocado injustamente, assim como em 2002, mas em 2002 a seleção deu a volta por cima e foram campeões.

100%

They were drugged....

Me too..👍

Mhmd Zam it’s not that you had lots of them . You had NONE of them so everyone was more evenly matched . Sorry but Ronaldo and Messi stepped on the scene ran with the ballon d’or and have never looked back since

Idol R9 am from Greece Ronaldo nazario de Lima 20 year alien 👽 player elastico player ever No1 best player of all time the king 👑 is Brazilian....

Probably, but he did not have the skills of Ronaldinho though.

HMA09 A but this guys top 4 players neymar make dives but urs skills is better than all new players!

dude messi chris neym mbap,,,,,,they are shit compare to nazario ronaldo....if you have 1% knowledge about soccer,,,

Add Hazzard n all the best them have only Pele better

Neymar is a fake

Pace and power.. Skilled..

And the tackles of defenders over time can cause injury too

sayed mumtaz ahmed they were not the best defenders of all time idiot. Your nostalgia is influencing your decision because if we’re being honest Ramos and puyol are up there against them they even won world cups

@@dexter99999 You obviously is a blind fan who has not watch footages of what Ronaldo did to Pujol and what Ronaldinho did to Ramos. Even if you did your brain cannot compute, comprehend and accept the possibility of such great talented skill and therefore revert to self denial. Which is more idiotic than idiot but you still can change and restore some credence to your generation. Here's to your all time best defenders, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-elRAulwW2cI.html Mind you that was FAT Ronaldo vs Fit Puyol ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CEsDUwGr0ps.html And this was Ronaldinho running rings around ramos But I do have great respect to Carles, never ramos

@@dexter99999 Ramos was constantly bullied by the likes of Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Henry etc. And Puyol was destroyed multiple times by Drogba. I don't like to compare players of different eras but let's put it like this: If Ramos, for example, have had his peak years during the end of the 90s and beginning of the 2000s I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be considered as one of the best defenders of all time. Playing with and getting destroyed against by some of the best players of all time toughened him up and made him the player he's today in an era where football isn't as competitive as it had been years ago. Just my opinion.

@@dexter99999 good joke you prick
