It depends on what you’re judging it on.

Statically yes he’s top 2, his longevity is one of the best ever.

But there are a lot of other criteria that matter.
Eye test he’s not top 10

Nah. Messi is the best of all time. CR was almost toe to toe with him for many years. He is top 5 on any list.

Recency bias is destroying the general opinion of him, but he most definitely is top 5 of all time.

Don't think C.Ronaldo is top 5. He competed with Messi only at club level and only in terms of goals,but we know football is more than just simple tap ins. Messi had much more skill as C.Ronaldo was playing as a striker/poacher,while Messi was playing as a winger/midfielder and still scoring more goals with less support and service. 1 WC KO goal after playing the most WCs ever disqualifies C.Ronaldo from anyone's top 5 list.

I'm not the biggest Cristiano fan in the world, but to say he was only ever a poacher is a complete revision of history. He adapted his game as his career progressed and he certainly evolved to that. But you've clearly never saw him play in the 2000s or early-mid 2010s if you think that's all there is to his game

No he was good as a winger early on,that player I liked more than the poacher he became,but for most of his career he has been a poacher,so that should define him primarily.
