“Only Ronaldinho Gaucho or CR7. There will be no other player better than Ronaldinho Gaucho.”

@charles_schabbach_ shared his take on the duo:

“Gaucho is the best of all, magic on the feet!!!Salve R10 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.”

@pauloscorland, who had a differing view, shared:

“CR7 will never reach Ronaldinho's level.”

@madshow11, aiming a dig at Ronaldo, wrote:

“Gaucho is 10x that boy; Ney got it wrong, lmao…”

@nico_teisse simply retorted:

“Ronaldinho is better than Cristiano.”

@mcleodabaixada, who appeared not to be swayed by popular opinion, commented:

“That’s it... Gaucho is better than CR7 and Neymar is better than Messi!!!”

While Ronaldinho had a stellar career, earning the Best Player of the Year award twice, Cristiano Ronaldo has won it five times and remains a dominant force at Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr, according to data from Transfermarkt.
