Can't even imagine the goldfish bowl Ronaldo lived in, it was just insane. Can you imagine someone hobbling through crowds of journalists on crutches the day after doing their knee now? Very good. Was hardly his ‘life’ though was it? It was 4 years admittedly a shot-ton in those 4 years, but I reckon there’s a million stories to tell about the lad. |

Yeah I think I would have preferred a 3 parter in the style of The Last Dance that had his early years up to the Barca season, then the injuries / Inter / World Cup and lastly his move to Madrid & the end of his time. It just sort of glosses over a lot before the whole World Cup story without pulling you into his life.
A bit like the last Maradona doc about his Napoli time - some great footage, but just not the detail or care taken to absorb what it actually meant in the grand scheme of things to football globally. Ronaldo changed football, over the course of the last 100 years or so you can only say that about a handful of players & his story is compelling enough to spend a bit more time telling it. |

Coke snorting, of which Diego was rather fond, famously doesn't help sporting performance much. Quite the opposite.
Of course he did get into the rocket fuel late on, but only in a desperate attempt to overcome the ravages of time, injuries, weight issues and a monster coke habit. |

Ronaldo was excellent, best player I've maybe seen live with Zidane. But he was the top dog of many excellent players of his position at the time. He wasn't doing anything Pele wasn't doing in the 50s and 60s really. |
