The 2-minute long video has been viewed more than 65,000 times in less than 2 days, gathering 4,000 likes. This post like most others concerning two players drew love, adulation and debate.
A user, who doesn't seem to be impressed by Ronaldo, wrote, “That isn't playmaking pal. Most of those were crosses themselves. Play making would be picking the ball from deep spaces, controlling the flow of the game and dictating it. A playmaker is someone who fulfills the classic No 10 role in football.”
He went on to add that Portugal and Juventus striker lurks in the opposition's half and is willing to strike when the chance arises but doesn't build up the attack.

He doesn't. Most of the times he lurks in the opposition's half and is willing to strike when the chance arises or tries to cut in from the wing , he drops deep for defensive duties sometimes, but doesn't build up the attack, Dybala is a key figure in this aspect,— Daniel Ajibode (@Darrnih) May 17, 2020
Meanwhile, Ronaldo fans showed some love for their favourite player, hailing him as the Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T)
