Cristiano Ronaldo may be in a league of his own when it comes to scoring goals, but the Manchester United star must accept he is still some way off being football's best creator.
The Portuguese superstar holds the all-time record for most goals by an international footballer after surpassing Ali Daei's haul last year and is some way clear of Lionel Messi as the Champions League's top goal-getter. He also posted a return of 450 goals in 438 appearances for Real Madrid in Spain - a record averaging better than a goal a game.
But in being the man for the big occasion, the 37-year-old is usually supported by those behind him creating chances. And that means the lethal finisher is the one relied upon to find the back of the net, rather than helping his team-mates do so.
