Following his treble against Tottenham, football fans believe the Portugal international, not the Argentine superstar, is the greatest of all time.
Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick against Tottenham Hotspur has reignited the debate on social media about who is the greatest of all time.
In Saturday's Premier League match at Old Trafford, the Portugal international was in fine form against Antonio Conte's side, helping Manchester United to a hard-fought 3-2 victory.
With his exploits against Spurs, Ronaldo has cemented his place as one of the best players in the world.At 37 years and 35 days, he became the second-oldest player in English top-flight history to score a treble.
In addition, he has now scored three goals in a match in each of the last 13 seasons of his club career (every season since 2009-10), with his treble today being his 49th hat-trick at club level.
That prompted football fans to take to social media to continue the never-ending GOAT discussion, with many claiming that the former Real Madrid and Juventus striker, rather than Argentina international Lionel Messi, is the best of all time.Given that Messi has not scored in his previous six games for Paris Saint-Germain in all competitions, Ronaldo's man-of-the-match performance provides an opportunity for a few to mock the 34-year-old.Which footballer do you consider to be the best of all time?
