There was a period before Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and after Pele and Maradona, where no one player held the Greatest Of All Time crown. But one player could have done, if it hadn’t been for horrid misfortune with injury.

O Fenômeno. Ronaldo, the original Ronaldo.

This is why we’ll never know just how good Ronaldo was. Written by Seb Stafford-Bloor, illustrated by Alice Devine.
