Ronaldo was an absolute beast pre-injuries though. His career average was close to being 1 goal per game ratio.
~ 55 something goals in ~ 55 some thing games for PSV
~ 45 goals in ~ 45 games for Cruzeiro
~ 50 gaols in 50 games for Barcelona
(roughly 150 goals in 150 games so far in his career age 21 and already won two ballon d'ors) You include his record of about 25 goals in 30 games for Brazil up until this point and thats about 175 goals in 180 games for a 21 year old who's played in three different teams/countries and two different fucking continents.
60 goals in a bout 100 games for Inter after 5 years but remember he basically went 2 years without playing
Never quite returned to his old form but 31 goals in 47 games and 30 goals in 44 games are still world class.
Still ended with a career average of 0.67
In other words; best striker of all time
With Nilis at PSV he was just unstoppable, van Gaal used to say. "when you play against PSV with Nilis and Ronaldo you have to at least score twice to win, because those two will always score at least once." In Barcelona it was even more crazy, he was absolutely so much better than anyone else.
To bad he got an epileptic seizure the day before 98 because he would have shit on France too. Nevertheless, after his injury he was still the very best by miles.
