Is Cristiano Ronaldo the best player ever for Real Madrid? That’s the question many Real Madrid fans want answered. The Portuguese superstar has a lot of talent, but it would be difficult to name one player over another. I will discuss some of my personal favorites, including Alfred Di Stefano, Angel Di Maria, and Karim Benzema. I also consider Alfred di Stefano the all-time best player in Real Madrid history.
Alfred Di Stefano
Despite a flurry of GOAT nominations, one player deserves to take the top spot. While Karim Benzema is a worthy candidate, the all time best player for Real Madrid is Alfred Di Stefano. The Italian was one of the greatest players of all time and deserves more recognition than he received during his playing career. In addition to his incredible goal scoring, Alfred di Stefano also contributed to Real Madrid’s ethos and culture.
The Italian striker is the oldest Real Madrid player to score 50 goals for the club. He was awarded the award for his 50th goal in a single season. Di Stefano’s career highlights included a run of five consecutive European Cup final appearances, scoring a hat-trick in the 1960 final. However, he later moved to Espanyol and retired at the age of forty.
A lifelong Real Madrid fan, Alfredo Di Stefano won the Ballon d’Or twice, in 1957 and 1959. He was also the sixth highest scorer in the top division of Spain. In September 2009, he was named by Pele to the FIFA 100 list of the greatest living players. The Italian won six La Liga titles and is the third all-time leader in league goals for Real Madrid. The Royal Spanish Football Federation chose him as their Golden Player in November 2003.
Raul’s record of 323 goals in 308 games was broken by Cristiano Ronaldo. However, Raul needed seven times as many games to reach Ronaldo’s record. In the end, Cristiano Ronaldo’s overall tally equaled Raul’s in 11 seasons. Alfred Di Stefano’s impressive career is a worthy reminder of his outstanding contribution to Real Madrid.
With his incredible goal scoring ability, Cristiano helped restore Real Madrid to the top of the world. He led the team to three successive European Cup wins, and ended a twelve-year wait for a Champions League. With these three trophies, Real Madrid now have 13 European Cups. In the Champions League, Ronaldo has been the top scorer for Real Madrid in each of the last six seasons. While the relationship between Cristiano and Real has not always been a happy one, he did help the team win many of its trophies.
Angel Di Maria
While the Portuguese star has surpassed 200 goals in the club’s history, there are still a few other players in the running for the title. In addition to his 82 La Liga titles, he has won four Champions Leagues and three Club World Cups. He also won two LaLiga titles, two Copas del Rey titles, and two Spanish Super Cups. Moreover, Ronaldo has won several awards, including four Ballons d’Or, five Golden Shoe awards, two The Best awards, and three UEFA Best Player of Europe.
Moreover, his 450 goals have made him the all time record holder for Real Madrid. This feat will never be surpassed. In addition to scoring in every season, he also won the Champions League four times and was named the club’s all time best player. However, Ronaldo has been in the limelight more recently. He is the most expensive player in Real Madrid history. With his record-breaking return, he has become one of the most expensive players in the club’s history.
Raul Gonzalez Blanco is another legend of Real Madrid. He joined the club at the age of 17 and has since been their leading goalscorer. In nearly 700 games, Raul has scored over 300 goals for Real Madrid. Before Cristiano Ronaldo arrived, Raul was Real Madrid’s top scorer. His contributions helped the club win six La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues. He remains the youngest player to score three goals in a Champions League game and is considered a team captain.
Besides Ronaldo, Alfredo Di Stefano is another legend of Real Madrid. He was the first player to score 100 goals for a single club and he also became the club’s Honorary President. His contributions to Real Madrid have made him an all-time favorite. His achievements have etched his name in the history of sport, and his legacy will live on for generations. And who can forget the legendary Alfredo Di Stefano?
In his personal life, Cristiano Ronaldo has a close friend. Jasmine is the ‘best’ girlfriend of Ronaldo. She is the best friend of Ronaldo’s family and his children. He is the best player for Real Madrid. It’s no wonder that he has won several Champions Leagues in his lifetime. While there are many critics of the Portuguese star, he has managed to become the best player for Real Madrid.
Karim Benzema
With his four goals in the final of the 2018 Champions League, Karim Benzema has now become the club’s most important player. While Cristiano Ronaldo is Real Madrid’s all time top goalscorer, Karim Benzema is only second to him on 323. With a goal in every 85 minutes this season, he is on pace to become the best player for Madrid.
Benzema has been with the club since his teens, having joined from Lyon. His performances in Lyon saw him become the leading scorer in Ligue 1. He was one of the few players to score in both legs of the quarter-final and semi-final. The hat-trick gave him the opportunity to go on and become the club’s latest Remontada. Real Madrid’s season this year has been a great one for the club, sauntered to La Liga glory and dominated the Champions League. However, without Cristiano Ronaldo, Madrid were left looking bare.
After Ronaldo’s departure from Madrid, Benzema has become the main man for Madrid. With 131 goals in four seasons, he has helped the club win La Liga twice and reach the Champions League final. Against Liverpool, Benzema’s goals have taken Madrid to the brink of a major comeback. The club will play Liverpool in the final in Paris.
In comparison to Ronaldo, Karim Benzema’s success with Real Madrid has been exceptional. He is on the verge of claiming his first Pichichi award as LaLiga’s top goalscorer. He is also on track to become Real Madrid’s all time top marksman with 15 goals this season. With these impressive numbers, Benzema is bound to become Cristiano Ronaldo’s all time best player for Real Madrid.
During Ronaldo’s time with Real Madrid, Benzema was his teammate and studied Ronaldo’s game. They spent nine years together, winning four Champions Leagues and two La Liga titles. Benzema has stepped up to fill the void left by Ronaldo and is a leading contender for the Ballon d’Or award.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo is the all-time leading goal scorer at Real Madrid, with more than four hundred goals in 438 appearances. This return will never be surpassed. He won four Champions Leagues and has scored at least 30 goals in every season of his Real Madrid career. It is easy to see why he is regarded as the greatest player in the history of the club. If you want to know more about Ronaldo and his impressive career, continue reading below.
The Portuguese was a wunderkind in his early years, and many would have mistaken him for an England international had they not known he was originally from Liverpool. He won the Champions League twice in his first season, two league titles, the European Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup. In addition, his versatility as a midfielder allowed him to dominate the European game in a way that no other player has achieved.
In 2014, Ronaldo surpassed Alfredo Di Stefano as the top scoring player for Real Madrid. According to UEFA, he is the best player for the club, having scored four hundred times in all competitions. Until now, however, Suarez had topped the charts, but Ronaldo is now tied with him. Cristiano Ronaldo has also won the Ballon d’Or twice.
Real Madrid fans can argue about who was the greatest player in Real Madrid’s history. One of the greatest players of the 20th century is Cristiano Ronaldo, but Carlos Alberto Ramos deserves the honor. He set the tone for the club and was one of the best players of all time. If you’re a Real Madrid fan, you’ve probably heard the debate over who was the greatest player.
Among Real Madrid’s greatest players, Cristiano Ronaldo has a lifetime contract with Nike worth over $1 billion. The contract was signed around the time of Real Madrid’s last contract extension. This is his second lifetime contract with Nike. A similar contract was signed with LeBron James a few years ago, but that deal hasn’t been made public. Nevertheless, the Nike contract is worth a billion dollars, which is far more than the PS21 million Real Madrid players are earning on average.
