Best player I've ever seen. Played most of His career with one knee & was still the GOAT!!!

The emotions I felt watching Ronaldo play I have never felt again with any other player

Something people tend to miss This man is doing this in late 90s Serie A, one of the best leagues in history World class talent and defending, it’s kind of what the premier league is today, except that all defenses are extremely tough with big names (Cannavaro, Maldini, Thuram, Desailly, could go on)

Best player I’ve ever seen. What a career even with the injuries that usually ended careers. We were robbed of seeing his full greatness.

this was El Phenomenon against brutal defences back in the days. imagine if Ronaldo against nowadays defences, he would have reach 1k goals for fun 🤗

There was a saying, amongst the Italian football commentaries of the time, which i totally agree with: "Del Piero is the best in the 1 vs 1 challenges ... Ronaldo is the best in the 1 vs 1, 2, 3, 4, etc..."😅 absolute machine. Never seen anything like him

No lies detected. Ronaldo brought the crowds like nobody. Not as a result of marketing, but pure skill, excitement. Nobody did it like him. Ronaldo was trully, a Fenômeno.

R9 is the only striker whom you can watch all day long even if he doesn’t score a goal.. normally we watch players like messi ronaldinho maradona or Kaka who are either playmaker or winger for this kind of football.. but R9 the fenomeno was unique.. he was running from own half to opponents box all alone with 5 defenders around him.. unparalleled

The only thing unique for R9, he creates chance for himself everytime he attacked. Maybe he looks like selfish dribbling solo, but thats how hungry he is to score. Truly pure striker

Ronaldo 21 years 150 goals, messia 40, CR7 20. after that injuries out for 3 years. The REAL G.O.A.T

Look at those tackles. In addition to all that two-footed talent and sheer speed, he was incredibly strong.

This guy used to scoring inside the nets of opponents, he was tricking all defenders and the goal keeper. This is insane

I haven't see any other player able to beat the defense, beat the goalkeeper and walk the ball into the goal.

Now you could imagine a team with Ronado, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho Gaúcho... Well... that was Brazil in 2002. Today, you cant even remember who is the striker of the Brazilian team.

Yes, this is my "Ronaldo"...there are Cristiano Ronaldo or Ronaldinho, both amazing and 2 of the greats, but only "Ronaldo", is this one...and is the most exciting player I saw live on tv, the Barcelona period was such a joy...I was glued to the tv untill the end or untill Ronaldo was replaced. Many times he played till the end, and did some of these things at 85 minute with his team winning...he was truly outstanding

Since I was teenager, I always considered him as the best player in the Football History,, no one can catch him

Even loved by the opposing fans, players , and managers R9 the real 🐐

Unbelievable player! He’s like when u make yourself in fifa and put all your attributes to 99! Phenomenal!

Роналдо был просто монстроузен на пике! Как не были круты Месси, Роналду для меня номер 1 навсегда Зубастик! А какая бешеная скорость, всегда удивлялся при такой массе, просто сумасшедшую скорость демонстрировал! Гений

He was so powerful that even his body couldn't handle it and turned his knees into a pile of metal bars , nails and deformed bones and tendons after all the surgeries

All the legends we love back then would cost nowadays more than 200 million

Strength, agility, simplicity, focus, tecnique, and speed puts the prime Nazario before injury before anyone else I could watch: Ronaldinho, CR, Messi, and even Maradona. R9 before injury is like a one-man army 😮

A real life nightmare for any defender from any era. That is the definition of a footballing legend, and this dude is the epitome of said definition. A true honour watching his career. They don’t make em like this anymore.

We simply dont get enough of talented players like this in today's football and players that have this kind of talent are benched 😢

For him or similar to him there is no Price ..Such players are the definition of excellence in Football (rare , unique, the one and only )

Sou de Belo Horizonte e vi o Ronaldo estrear pelo rival. Aos 16 anos ele simplesmente destruia as defesas, inclusive, em um clássico, ele acabou com o nosso zagueiro Uruguaio, Kanapkis. Sim, senhores, ele era o nosso rival, mas tivemos este privilégio em ver os seus primeiros passos no futebol. Saudações alvinegras!!!

The BEST delantero/Forward of all Time!! I was 14 years old when I saw him play is first game in PSV!! All I need was 5 minutes to realized I was watching greatness!!!! The Best 9 of all time!! Blessed

I'm running out of superlatives to describe il fenomeno the most amazing player I've ever seen. He's the absolute player. the most imaginative the most innovative player in history... Simply the best. He had the most imposing technical baggage we've ever seen. I feel lucky to have seen him live.

Prime Ronaldinho was 96-97 19 years old. 48 goals in one season

There were always 3 defenders around him and many times they couldn't stop him to score.Unreal talent!I am and always been a Milan fan and never had any fear that our defence couldn't deal with the opponents until I saw Ronaldo giving Maldini and Nesta so many hard days.Ibrahimovic,Maldini,Nesta,Mourinho,Guardiola always said this guy was the best and the beast.

Some things are priceless , you can't price tag this Legend.

He was sent from the football gods the best of all time

7:20 even Roberto Carlos couldn't contain him.

The most beautiful and powerful footballer i ever watched. An F5 tornado, ultra dynamic.

Tons of injuries .. gaining weight .. but the speed is too much for the defenders to handle .. I really can’t understand this That’s why he is phenomenal Ronaldo

5:30 This is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

Dribbling through the middle is even more difficult. One of the best ever.

Me lo ricordo bene. Quando è stato a posto fisicamente, era uno spettacolo vederlo giocare. Negli spazi stretti, nessuno come lui: una velocità d’esecuzione e un controllo pazzeschi; una gioia per gli occhi.

Ronaldo was a tank. Plowed through people and still scored. What a beast

I was so privaliged to have seen him during his prime my all time fav player

MOST FAST, SKILLED N STRONG PLAYER EVER!!!!! 👑⚽️🐐 Messi n Cr7 fans just get out here..

The best and most complete striker in the history of football!!

Rivaldo was another that was was off the charts with his power and skills , the good old days !

You and the rest of Real Madrid must have had so much fun training and playing together in your hey day , great memories watching you guys play. Ronaldo's pace and foot speed was incredible , as you mentioned his fee today would be crazy as would yours :)

The real G.O.A.T

All seems so easy for r9 despite most of the tackles are actually aiming to injure him

R9 skill level : When the commentator announces his goal scored before it happens 7:51

I was 14 years old when he went to Barcelona, first knew of him as the 16 year-old Brazilian World Champion and PSV's Wonder Ronaldinho! Playing as a CM at the time I admired technical, intelligent players, that created and assisted.... Leaders and visionaries, elegant and with the soft touch of class!!!( Kulkov, Redondo, Rui Costa, Matthaus, Ginola, Bergkamp, Gullit, Dino Baggio, Lentini, Boban, Hagi, Savicevic, Laudrup (genius creator) flair and dribbling was for superstars Romário, Van Basten, Maradona (could do it all with a ball) Futre, Robby Baggio, Asprilla, Stoichkov, Figo, Djalminha!!!!! But everyone wanted to play like Ronaldo, my friends, teammates, schoolmates even the Tomboy girls who loved sports....the speed, the stopovers, the change of direction, the controlled bursts of speed.... UNIQUE... I still remember some matches played, some mirrored moves that were successful!!!! The most bombastic footballer ever, truly phenomenal!

The 8:32 goal, he created the play out of nothing to Zidane. Who gives back the ball to R9 to score like a boss. This kinda goal + dribbling everybody + that step over and low crossed kick ( against Bilbao 02/03 ) is the best of the best. No one can score like that.

I lost count of how many times he dribbled past the goalkeeper and scored

ofc Ronaldo was a monster, probably the best 9 ever. ofc we all regret his injuries 😢 What a legend still ! But let's not forget the great players that assisted him. I feel like Djorkaeff in Inter rly made him shine. He was a great playmaker, rly rly underrated... also made Zidane shine for France. A man in the shadows, one of the best playmakers to be fair (wc champion, euro champion, uefa champion...). L.etrs not forget Ronaldinho, Rivaldo , Zidane at Madrid ... R9 rly was surrounded by the GREATEST

A rhinoceros with tap dancer feet. His knees couldn’t hold up

the real Ronaldo. The greatest striker the world has seen till date.

If R9 played today, there would be no Messi and CR7. They would win zero ballon'd or

Extremely fast, even nowadays no one can do that with the ball

It's like I'm watching a FIFA game but in real life

+50$ Million to pay all the medical treatments. R9 Is my all time favorite player, at his best, im one of those who believe he played on the same level, if not even better than the best players in history. Its even more crazy to think that was not even his max potential. Sadly, his career did not go well because of all his injuries.

Power, speed and skill. He was simply GREAT

Those were the most eficent stepovers in football history

Era imparable... Simplemente el mejor de todos...El FENOMENO. El resto es puro monte.... Saludos...

Perfect video. Ronaldo Luis Nazário De Lima is by far the best football player ever. Never there will be anyone who even come close to Il Fenomeno.

If only injuries weren’t there😢

strong , fast, smart , new and atletic btw i´m brazilian and i saw him playing in Brazil , Italy and Spain , great guy so mutch fun going to any station to watch him play

I still find it crazy that he seems to get faster on the ball. An absolute phenomenon of a player!

The best striker of all time. He got no flaws.

Its really the best player so far ever! No one was better than this brazilian legend

he is easily the greatest talent ever, and he is arguably one of the greatest ever

My first love in football.....what a player!

هذا رونالدو الاصلي المهاجم الحقيقي ملك المهارات اسطوووري مو كريستيانو المنفوخ اعلاميا الي اهدافه في فرق ضعيفه ليتوانيا واستونيا وطقتها

I'm a millenial and I never saw either Pele or Maradona play but I grew up watching Ronaldo Fenomeno and for me he's still the best #9 I've ever seen play the game.

The best Ronaldo who ever played this sport

اقسم بالله مستحيل يجي لاعب مثل رونالدو ❤

"And the rest" nobody in the history of this beautiful sport has done what this guy has done at a young age especially the hardest era with all those legendary players. He was basically a KID breaking records etc, breaking transfer fees back2back, having little documentaries on how to stop him, making the most ELITE DEFENDERS in history look like amateurs, this ain't even half but he is and will be "The most scariest player in history"

Just admit it. We want to see football becoz we want to see R9 dancing and prank defenders and the goal keeper 😂

The acceleration is unbelievable

Not only he was fast, he was strong as an Ox! Pure power and magic 🔥

Messi’s dribbling and technique plus Cristiano’s physique

Pure and full skill... Ronaldo nazario❤

never seen anything like it ronaldo was indeed a phenomanon

El nivel máximo alcanzado por un futbolista simplemente inigualable.

This is True Ronaldo 😎

even at real madrid when he was 20 kilos overweight he was unstoppable

5:35 he made it looks like a training match, no one have balls to round the GK nowadays

In his prime R9 was just on a level I have never seen from anyone else since. A true phenom 🐐

I just refuse to imagine how impossible it was to stop him during his training sessions.. This is Scuola calcio

best player of All time ❤❤

Dude was an absolute beast. A man of his size and strength had no business being that skilled and fast too. Amazing player

The best. What a joy it was watching him while growing up. My favourite player of all time. So many boys playing at the time were trying to replicate his skills while wearing R9 boots

R 9 is without doubt the best Striker the world has ever seen 😮

i never seen like this before,,, 6:40 🤩🤭............the phenomenon is the great ever .. trully Legend!

You didnt even show the Barcelona Ronaldo! He was a monster at Barca

“I’d seen him on television at PSV and thought ‘wow’. Then he came to Barcelona. He’s the most spectacular player I’ve ever seen. He did things I’d never seen before. “We’re now used to seeing Messi dribble past six players, but not then. He was strong, a beast. A kid as well.” ~ Luis Enrique on Ronaldo 🇧🇷

the movement itself is ever beautiful. something different than in earths.

it doesn’t exist any other player who left so many goalkeepers and defenders in the floor

A player so extraordinarily good even his own legs can't handle his maximum capabilities

Seria A in the late 90s 👍👍👍

Look at the power and pace of the man

A lot of fans that watch modern football has no idea how ultra defensive the Seria A was back in the late 90s. It was the best league in the world. And Ronaldo schooled them week in, week out.

El mejor delantero de todos los tiempos. Bestial!!

R9 makes CR7 looking like schoolboy😅
