Out of Haaland's 106 goals for Borussia and Man City, only 3 of them were scored from outside the box. Football is not all about scoring different types of goals, but how the one can be compared to Ronaldo, CR7, Messi and yet not to have at least a few solo goals or long shots? At the same time, young Ronaldo Phenomenon was able to score long shots, free kicks, solo goals. By the age of 22 the Brazilian scored 191 goals for his national team, Inter and Barcelona, won FIFA World Cup, 2 times become a FIFA player of the year and became the youngest Ballon d'Or winner (21 y/o) in the history. I find it ridiculous that some people dare to call Haaland the best young player ever when all he can offer is tap ins.

R9 from 1995 to 1998 was truly a phenomenon. Creating goals out of nothing. But most importantly, he was a joy to watch.

20+ years and Ronaldo still makes me smile. The greatest player I've ever seen.

7 minutes of pure fun. Born in 1988 so I grew up watching the phenomenon. This brings some nice memories.

Jugador totalmente vertical. Determinante. Explosivo. Ninguno como este jugador . Y valiente este jugador si era de verdad no de mentiras que lo tocan y ya está en el suelo. Cómo Messi y Neymar

Sick! Best player I've ever witnessed. Powerful, explosive, strong but yet so elegantly, fast and extremely skilled.

The few players that cannot be hated by anyone. He played for Barca, Real Madrid, Inter and AC Milan and people still loved him in those teams without any hate or remorse shown.

O melhor que eu vi jogar

The best of all times

The acceleration is simply astonishing. His balance and protection of the ball makes him near impossible to stop. Add the nutmegs that had a devastating mental effect on the defenders. Absolutely the best center forward ever.

Watch his legs and how he use his legs to dribble and strike.his style is very unique the way he touches the ball is pure art. how he sprints and moves his body using his legs and inclined angles that he makes with his knee is mindblowing.no wonder he got haunted by knee injuries.literally phenomenal.love from India limaaaa 🙏

He was like a ravenous wolf on the pitch. The hunger that had for the ball was alarming. Just the perfect player. What skill, balance, speed, dribbling and shooting this man had. Truly the phenomenon!

Fast, strong, master of dribble, good left feet, explosive, master of kicks. What a beast

When I first saw the phenomenon, I couldn't talk to anyone all day long. He impressed me so much

Nobody can't be compared to this guy!! He's nickname talk for himself!!!

Exceptional player

One thing that I notice about him is, that he attacks the defender when dribbling. Most forwards that I know dribble to avoid them.

He was something else, a one off, a once in a lifetime player, ran through defences like a ballistic missile. I’ve never been as excited to watch a player as I was him

when I was a young brazilian national team supporter, around 2006, I could swear Ronaldinho was the best player we had had for a while, when I watched the young ronaldo phenomenon videos for the first time I just couldn't believe there was a player like that... hadn't he injured that seriously at such a young age he would definitively be top 3 greatest players ever, if not the greatest...

He was the epitome of the perfect footballer. Speed, dribbling, stamina, finishing. He had it all. All the qualities you wanted from a football player

son grandes jugadores AMBOS .

What’s also incredible about the phenomenon was not just his excellent skills but also his sheer brute strength and catapult pace he had prior to the injuries.

This guy not only scored goals, but created them on his own too.. never had to rely on other creative midfielders or others to make things easy for him

The best of all time.

Outrageously skillful, powerful and focused.he had a map in his head and he executed noone else in history.because of th power andnskill

Ronaldo Phenomenon was the most dazzling, gifted player I've ever seen. From 1995-1999 he was breathtaking. Unparalleled. Then the devastating injury.

Freak of nature player, it's like all the qualities packed into one body, strentgh, speed, agility, control, and clinical finishing.

Genial fenómeno

Let's not forget he suffered 2 career ending injuries... And still, the best of an era!

I remember those days, before Internet and social media it was dificult to watch these games on a weekly basis without satellite tv so every time we get to see a game with Ronaldo everyone would get so excited. Even the commentators would be so excited everytime he would touch the ball.

Strong and fast and skilled

He’s so good his own body can’t handle it. Such a shame that we didn’t get to see the peak of R9.

Os caras só pegam estatísticas e acham que isso basta para dizer quem é melhor e pior. Sou fã do Haaland, acho ele um baita centroavante, mas não dá pra comparar como fenômeno. Ele era brutal, não só em gols, mas em habilidade, velocidade, técnica etc.

Como dijo benzema, es imposible repetir todo lo que hizo ronaldo el fenómeno del fútbol

Ronaldo was one of a kind. Literally only his own knees could stop him from being the greatest of all time.

A perfect player.

The man who introduced many of the 90s kids to football. Thank u for ur magic.

World never saw anything like him when he burst onto the scene that is one reason he was given the title of El Phenomenon.His prime will remain incomparable.

Ronaldo was a one man attack... Leave alone the MSN or BBC... A football commando... The greatest footballer of all time for me.

My man, no man will ever be near Ronaldo's level. Both Ronaldos are great, but this one is phenomenal.

To me personally NO ONE ever had better solo runs. I love Maradona, CR7, Messi etc.. These are all the GOATS but Ronaldo Fenomeno has a special place in my heart. It’s just something so unique in the way he moved and his explosive unique way of nonchalantly destroying everyone. His every move had a calculated reason and he always knew exactly what he was gonna do.

My idol and he will continue to be. A player that I grew up watching, someone that I truly tried emulating myself when I played on the field. He inspired so many generations, in my opinion he’s the greatest striker of all time and it’s not even close.

That assist for romario, what a pass👏

Agreed. As many goals as Haaland scores, they're rarely on R9 level.

Impresionante Ronaldo, lo mejor que he visto en mi vida y tuve el privilegio de verlo en todo su esplendor.

For me he will always be the greatest. My childhood was spent watching this guy light up seria A which to this day was the greatest league I’ve ever seen. What an absolute baller.

phenomenon

1:28 I didn’t even see the opportunity for him to run in there. What a player.

Can we talk about him sending Roberto Carlos to the ground in a shoulder to shoulder contact? Simply insane that shit ... he was so gifted in many levels. It was like a videogame player that you built everything with 99.

The best player hands down at that age

el Ronaldo del Barca e Inter era imaparable

Messi y cristiano marcaron epoca pero no vi la magia que irradiaba el gran fenomeno...sin tiktok ni ninguna red social llamaba la atencion todo lo que hacia en un campo de futbol

You have to realize where he starts each play. That power and talent is incomparable

His human body simply could not contain the godly talent. Such a shame that his play-style took such a toll on his knees.

Even after his knee injury, he was still best at scoring. He was a complete player, you see alot of players in him..

Definitely the most talented dribbler and the most exciting striker to watch ever....

Ronaldo era assombroso.

My goodness look how Roberto Carlos just bounces off him 2:25

De fenómeno hay solo uno !! Y se llama Ronaldo!

I’ve had the privilege to witness the phenomenal genius of R9 live in the flesh. I can honestly say Halaand, CR7, and Messi fan boys need to put some respect on his name, ffs! 🏆⚽️💥✨ *A TRUE GOAT!* 🐐

Incredible player. He attacks defenders like no one I've seen before. Some strikers try to avoid and go round them...he just plow through them like heated knife to butter.

Ronaldo fenômeno eu tive o previlegio de vem esse cara jogar não tem nem como comparar Ronaldo foi único

the True RONALDO!

Saudades dessa época. Romário e Ronaldinho, que dupla era essa.

El mejor atacante de todos. La mayor estrella de un equipo de estrellas

Best!!!!

That's I like it pure sound of football ,commentary and public no annoying music etc

Por eso Benzema le dio tremendas palabras en la entrega del balón de Oro. Todos son fans de lo que hizo. Los más grandes de la historia antes de Ronaldo y los más grandes después de él, todos aceptan que cómo 9 aún no hay nadie mejor que él. Por eso es el Fenómeno porque esa palabra es algo así como algo único, diferente, raro de ver en la naturaleza, fuera de lo común. Indiferentemente de sus números y con lesiones y sobre peso se retiró siendo el delantero fenómeno, la a rareza del fútbol. Cada vez que lo veo sigue siendo igual de impactante, transmite una potencia, como una tren bala imparable. Increíble.

Nunca vi un 9 con todos esos atributos, Velocidad tremenda, Un regate que nunca sabías por qué lado te iba a salir, una finalización de top mundial, era increíble el fenómeno, nunca habrá un 9 igual.

No hay comparación alguna!!!!

So special.. he is the model for the modern striker

3 balon d’dor by age 23. Absolutely owned the Dutch, Spanish and Italian leagues against legends of the game at a time when tackles were borderline criminal assaults. Let’s not mention his comeback, World Cup wins and golden boots. Fenómeno.

Ronaldo changed the Number 9 position forever, still defines it to this day

It’s crazy that he missed almost 3 years of football due to injuries. Imagine how many goals he would of had on his record if he was playing instead.

Absolute powerhouse of a player, probably one of the quickest feet for a footballer I’ve ever seen ! Majestic…….

he's not a phenomenon... he's THE phenomenon!! GOAT

2:25 😆 Roberto Carlos

Halland é um caneludo que faz gol .

El mejor, futbol en estado puro. Haland un rematador, no se pueden comparar

Ronaldo el fenómeno es incomparable..El mejor 9 de la historia. SALUDOS DESDE PARAGUAY 🇵🇾

R9 is a different species unstoppable, the best the goat 🔥🔥

Monster!!!

Força, drible, finalização, cabeceio, velocidade, criatividade, equilibrio, explosão, inteligência. O cara simplesmente tinha tudo. O atacante mais completo que o futebol ja teve.

Ronaldo era una bestia, la explosion cuando tenia la pelota y se ponia a encarar era una locura. Haaland no le hace ni sombra.

The level of excitement of the commentator when commenting one of the most beautiful goals of all time in Barcelona is staggering.

unbelievable player we witnessed in the 90s.

If it wasn't for 2 major knee injuries just imagine what this guy would of achieved statistically...absolute beast.

As a Madrid fan, a part of me wished R9 stayed at Barcelona….I think the harsh, crunching tackles of the Italian league really robbed the world of what would have been the greatest career in football, no debate…47 goals in 49 matches as a teenager….in a Barcelona team that wasn’t that great to begin with…insane numbers…Messi and CR7 needed 5 more years to reach those numbers…just absolutely incredible. The best talent in football history

I haven't got excited about a player since. He was amazing

Super fast!

Engraçado que nessa época, o Brasil tinha tanto talento que nem dávamos tanto valor, achávamos que já era o normal do Brasil. Só hoje é que olhamos para trás e vemos que Ronaldo, Romário, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, Cafú, Ronaldinho eram simplesmente craques atemporais.

Yo que he podido disfrutar de ver a Ronaldo en todas sus etapas desde que llegó al Barcelona puedo opinar que no tiene nada que ver un jugador con otro. Haaland es un grandísimo jugador (y ojalá llegue al nivel de Ronaldo). Pero Ronaldo era de otro planeta. El mejor delantero centro de la historia sin duda alguna.

when you get lost one on one with the goalkeeper - he is in his element

Once he was one on one with the goalkeeper you never thought he would miss.

His dribbling and controlling was insane..being tackle again and again but still won't go down easily

Quel joueur !

No one can come close to Ronaldo very explosive player ever

Ronaldo and Ronaldinho are players that no one hated, no matter what team they played for. Such joy to watch them. Golden age of football.

Ronaldo tenía todo lo que un futbolista total tiene que tener, velocidad, drible, visión de juego, pase al hueco, fuerza... Magia en mi opinión el mejor futbolista que he visto jamás, Ronaldo en su plenitud nadie lo detenía.

Ronaldo é Ronaldo carai, tem como comparar não, maluco fazia tudo sozinho, se jogasse hoje em dia ia ser o maior da história. Ele fez o que fez ainda com contusões sérias, imagina se não tivesse rsrsrs
