Alan Shearer and Micah Richards were in full agreement when asked to pick between Cristiano Ronaldo and Ronaldo Nazario. <\/p>\n

The Premier League winners turned pundits were put on the spot by Gary Lineker on The Rest is Football podcast and didn't need much time to choose. Despite the career stats only pointing in one direction – it was the Brazillian to come out on top. <\/p>\n

Lineker asked: "Here\u2019s a question for you, both at their prime, who is the best Ronaldo?" Richards then replied: "R9. I think Cristiano (Ronaldo) is a better goalscorer. But if you look at R9\u2019s goals and you look at CR7\u2019s goals, R9 just finds a way.<\/p>\n

His career highlights came in winning the 1994 and 2002 editions of the World Cup, as well as the Ballon d'Or in both 1997 and 2002. The best goalscoring season of his career came in his first season with Barcelona, netting 47 goals across 49 matches.<\/p>\n

The enduring love for Ronaldo comes thanks to his blistering pace and unrivalled control of the football, with injuries hampering his playing time and only one major league title to his name and no Champions League triumph.<\/p>\n

Ronaldo had five Ballon d'Or wins to his name and five triumphs in the Champions League before joining Al-Nassr in January.<\/p>\n
