Gary Lineker is a soccer legend — he’s even been enshrined in England’s Football Hall of Fame — which is why it’s a little shocking that someone with his experience and soccer knowledge believes Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Pele.
Lineker — who’s now a popular soccer analyst — was leaving STK this weekend when we asked how Ronaldo’s career compares to Pele’s.
“Ronaldo is Ronaldo,” Lineker told us … “He’s better than Pele.”
Just a quick stat comparison:
Pele – 614 club goals in 18 years (and that’s not even counting his time on the NY Cosmos).
Ronaldo — 233 club goals in 12 years
Pele — 3 World Cup titles
Ronaldo — none.
There’s no doubting Ronaldo’s an incredible talent. But better than Pele?
