Not just win a World Cup win the golden boot and best player for 2002. There’s been 4 world cups since and no other striker has come close to replicating that.
Got to give it up to the Manchester United fans.......an absolute show of the utmost respect to the greatest striker of all time!!! People can say what they like about Man Utd fans but they know something out of this world when they see it!!! That standing ovation was nothing short of sheer class on both sides. Well done everyone!!!
I don’t think he was the greatest striker, more like the best striker. The best of the bunch, but never managed to become the greatest due to his injuries. Still, a phenomenal baller.
In reality, there's only probably he and Messi who all fans feel so much love for that it could happen. I'm sure there are other players who've done well against Manu without getting applause, but Ronaldo was just so loved back then. He brought so much joy to the game. Everyone loved him. It wasn't just this performance, but everything he had brought to football that earned him that applause.
@@heijimikata7181 Longevity doesn't equal greatest. Forget "Greatest Striker", for me, R9 was quite simply the greatest footballer to have ever played the game. I have been watching the beautiful game since 1984 and I have never in my life seen any footballer be able to do what R9 did from 1995 to 1998 and no footballer, not Zidane, not Messi, not Henry, not Cristiano, not Haaland, have ever come close to that level of football. And I doubt anyone ever will. You might think 3 years of top (nay......ULTIMATE) football isn't enough to get the accolade of Greatest of All Time, but it is more than enough for me to say that about him. My God.......if only this guy had stayed injury free. The things he could've done 😢
@@heijimikata7181 Yeah but that's saying that during a certain period of time he was the best player we have ever seen. Which I completely agree with. Not the GOAT but greatest talent we have ever seen.
It's just impossible to hate ronaldo, now matter what team you support. Why? He was mature and he LOVED the game with utter most respect. He respected his opponents, never made fun of them or of the opposing team crowd. He was humble and always played with a smile. But most importantly of all, nobody, I mean nobody, not Messi, not CR7, not Maradona, not Pele, moved and scored like he did. Fenomeno.
Whats crazy is he is playing at 60-70% of his true ability in this match...and he is overweight....But you look back at his style of play at Inter Milan a few years before, and its just crazy to see how he dribbles the ball at such extreme speeds. Tell me of any player who dribbles like R9 at Inter Milan...there is nobody. Not even Messi or Mardona could dribble like that.
Ronaldo Fenomeno was the Greatest player of all time... Getting a Standing Ovation after Serious Knee Injury and also Old Trafford... In Old Trafford It is difficult to et a Standing Ovation
This is so beautiful for so so many reasons, this was in 2003 after R9 had his knee injury which took away his pace and explosiveness, he overcame all the odds to return and won Brazil the WC so people thought that was his last hurrah per se but then again at club level he showed he is still the greatest by delivering a hat trick at old Trafford absolutely legendary
This is elite level #9 play from quite possibly football's greatest ever striker. If you look he gets the shot to bounce just ahead of Barthez and he's almost exactly on the line of the penalty box when he hits it. Not to mention he's going NEAR POST against a WC winning keeper. O Fenômeno.
i remember the 2006 world cup in Germany and Brazil was playing against my humble and proud country Ghana in which we actually played really well but ronaldo was on a different level and he ended our dreams
Remember at watching this on tv and thinking this guy is a one man goal machine. He was amazing, couldn’t be angry at him, because we just saw a player in his prime doing something amazing.
My kids (10 y.o) was asking my opinion about Messi and C. Ronaldo, "Dad, i think that the best striker of all time, is Leo Messi. He better than C. Ronaldo".. so i said "maybe, coz you never see I'll Phenomenon". Than he run the youtube vid compilation about Ronaldo. When he found and see how good Ronaldo was, my kids react like "Dad i think he's not even a human." 😂😂😂😂
@NMA 55 NIDHIN JOBI u joking right ?? World Cup means whos the best in this world.. did your messi put his name on the title ?? Ronaldo is the greatest striker of time, second to none..
@NMA 55 NIDHIN JOBI messi an CR7 is the best striker, but not the greatest.. why ?? Messi and CR7 has good playmaker and defender, they both got xavi, iniesta, ryan giggs, paul scholes, marquez, puyol, ramos, fredinand... Look at Ronaldo 9, he was the biggest enemy to all best defender and playmaker... he play againts Zidane, Maldini, Nesta, Ferdinand, Puyol, Ramos, .. Cafu, Juninho, Ronaldinho, .. he wasnt play with, he was againts with.. Did messi ever met Puyol as an opposite ?? NO. .. even messi himself adoring and praising Ronaldo il Phenomenon..
Ronaldo Nazario can certainly take on teams by himself in his heyday. I remember World Cup 2002 when he single handedly gave the cup to Brazil. That was him at his best. A pity he got sick before WC Final 1998. He could literally score impossible goals to let his team win matches. Ronaldo Nazario wins hands down.
My idol!! To me one of the greatest players of all time 👏👏 when I was young I had the honor of watching him play, back on his prime this guy was unstoppable, a beast, a tank pfff I have chills just to remember him, even after surgery this amazing player stand has a legend and he could win even more if wasn't because of those 2 injuries...
great man u fans here recognizing the man who scored 2 against Germany in the world cup final the year before. much class from them and even more when they scored four later which was a late rally but they fell short. Top kek from Ronaldo and man u fans. this is why the champions league is so great.
Class act by M. United fans, they were star struck. They witnessed the hat trick by one and only, superstar Ronaldo. Probably, the only 3 goals that didn’t make them too upset, because they saw the legend performing a master class.
You can see the Madrid fans @ 00:56 noticing the entire stadium giving praise to Ronaldo. English fans are the best, very respectful and they truly enjoy good football.
Now when Zlatan bows down to you, you know you are the best ever, what a player all the stars nowdays should pay 10% of their wages to this guys, it's because of him they are where they are, in my opinion
Affaro kurz lmao so true. All I see is a bunch of imitating copying and name stealing from the people today. The inspiration behind their lousy attempts is obvious. Often initiated never duplicated Ronaldo is the real, only and true GOAT
what a remarcable wars we lived together the real Manchester Club and RM, most probably the 2 most iconic football clubs in the history of The Game. Old Trafford, the Cathedral of Football.
My favourite player ever. Before his injury he was the greatest player I'd ever seen. After his injury he was still truely world class. Alot of his goals for Madrid are simply stunning.
English people felt the privilege of seeing Ronaldo play in England yet he played against an English team.That's how great this man Ronaldo was..He was likeable even to the opposition.
His talent even surpassed his own body !! I have huge respect for so many players but nobody came close to what he did with the ball from 96 to 98. His body should have broken his spirit, but he conquered it. It is easy to dismiss him for his lifestyle but we can't understand that person till you have lived his life. The most magical player I have seen in 28 years of watching the game. Zizou, Dinho, Messi, Cristiano are all in the next category. He changed football.
I will never forget this game...in it I support Manchester but I love Ronaldo so much...and what he did is a magnificent tribute to the game of football, a rhapsody of its maestro. This kind of respect and admiration of the fans from island towards the opposing football player has not been seen. The best striker in history!
Growing up and having to be lucky enough to have watched him play felt like an honour. Weird to say, I know. But man what a player. The greatest of all time in my book. I don't remember anyone ever hating on him too. Maybe some Barca fans as he was an ex Barca player, playing for Real. But what an absolute beast. A superstar. There was an era where you couldn't get away from him. He was him. Shame about the injuries, and people overlook him as the greatest because of them. Yet, he was better than Messi, or CR7. Him and Zidane are my goats.
All goals in the history of football aside....one push of ball in net at Estadio Azteca in 1986 june.....will forever be the pannicle of sporting chronology symbolizes as peoples victory over opresser....

Makes what he did even crazier; this was AFTER the injury problems he’d been having.
First goal is impossible.. He caught bartez and ferdi off guard.. Nobody expect to shoot from that angle and with first touch... Truelly a fenomeno..
Yeah, the first goal is unbelievable. Ronnie imho is the best player in history.
It's so funny; I remember wayne rooney did same technique to score goal when MU vs AC Milan on old trafford...
