Cristiano Ronaldo netted his 700th career club goal in Sunday’s win over Everton and has been receiving copious amounts of plaudits since. The superstar has started just one Premier League game this season with the attacker - who scored 24 times last season - seemingly being Erik ten Hag’s third choice forward behind Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford.
He has one goal in four Europa League games - a penalty against Sheriff - and failed to net against Omonia in 180 minutes. But his finish against Everton reminded everyone of the clinical nature he has possessed throughout his career.
The debate over whether it is the 37-year-old or Messi that is the greatest of all time will rage on forever, but when it comes to finishing, Paul Merson says there is only one winner.
