5 Golden Ball Awards + 943 Goals! Ronaldo s winning the cup was questioned: Why is the Portuguese Super League s only 3 goals and 6 assists worthy of being the king

On September 11, at the Portuguese Super League Awards Ceremony held in Porto, Portugal, Ronaldo won the "Best Player in History" award. Although his position in the world football field is unquestionable, his actual performance in the Portuguese Super League is not very outstanding. So, is this award deserved or is there any controversy? We might as well analyze from two dimensions: data and history.

At the national team level, Ronaldo's performance is legendary. He made more than 223 appearances for Portugal and scored 141 goals. He is not only the number one scorer in the team history, but also the holder of the goal record of the international football national team. As the captain, he led the team to win the 2016 European Cup and the 2019 European League championship, and these two achievements completely rewrite the history of Portuguese football. With this alone, he has reached the peak of Portuguese football.

Looking at his club career, Ronaldo's data is equally amazing. His total number of goals has reached nearly 943 goals, more than 300 assists, and his number of appearances in official games has exceeded 1,280 games. From Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, to Riyadh victory, Ronaldo has always maintained the top competitive level in different leagues and ages. It is rare in the history of world football to be able to win the Golden Boot and Championship in the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A. In terms of honors, Ronaldo's achievements are also impressive. He has won more than 30 championships, including 5 Champions League titles, 3 Champions League titles, as well as national team honors for the European Cup and UEFA Nations League. In terms of individual awards, he won the Golden Globe Award five times, won the European Golden Boot four times, and was selected as the season's best scorer and player of the year many times. Even legendary stars in Portugal's history, such as Figo and Eusebio, are difficult to compete with Ronaldo in terms of overall honor and international influence. The focus of the controversy is Ronaldo's performance in the Portuguese Premier League. In the 2002-03 season, he played for Sporting Lisbon, playing in 25 games and contributing only 3 goals and 6 assists. If the data in the Portuguese Super League are only used as the standard, some core players who have played in the local league for a long time and have led the team to win the championship many times may be more competitive. How should

"best in history" be defined? If you only look at the performance of the Portuguese Super League, Ronaldo will indeed find it difficult to convince the public; but if you focus on your overall contribution to Portuguese football and global influence, he is undoubtedly the most representative candidate. The Portuguese Super League's choice this time obviously values ​​the players' international recognition and symbolic significance, not limited to league data.

awarded the award to Ronaldo, which is reasonable. Although the Portuguese Super League is his starting point, Ronaldo has pushed Portuguese football to the world through his career. From national team honors to personal achievements, he has gained unprecedented attention from Portuguese football. Even though Portugal performed mediocrely in the Super League, his overall influence has far surpassed other Portuguese players.
