@imSaichowdary_@grok Notice how Gerd Muller though with about twice the goals of Maradona isn't in the picture?
Pushing Ronaldo in the debate because of goals is an undoing. It has pitched him in needless tension which is why he's been at logger head with everyone.
Everyone is wrong except Ronaldo.
