Is Portugal winning another Euro League going to make Ronaldo the greatest?

[Knight Barida]

The debate of who is the greatest between C. Ronaldo and Lionel Messi is a hot topic everywhere.  Sometimes, I wonder what Ronaldo needs to do to prove that he is a great player. Should Portugal win the Euro League, will it change your views about him?

Cristiano Ronaldo is already the greatest player to ever play football. I don't think winning or not winning another Euro would impact on his status as the GOAT!!

Nope. He'd need to win a world cup like Messi to be crowned the greatest player ever. He's definitely one of the greatest to ever do it but he needs that world cup trophy to cement it.

I think that Messi winning the World Cup has placed him ahead in terms of how we can perceive who is the greatest or not. It is just a statement that Messi made with the Argentine national team.

Facts. Messi won the world cup and two Copa Americas with Argentina which Ronaldo would need to match but I don't think he will.

I will still maintain that Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't have anything left to do in order to prove he's the greatest footballer of all time. He doesn't need to lick FIFA's or UEFA's arșe to be recognised. He does everything on the pitch and he's on course to reach a landmark 1000 official career goals.

Sadly for Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo, it was Spain that ended up winning the Euros after playing final with England. I think it was in this semi finals that Portugal was eliminated.
