A thunderbolt attack launched by former Manchester United player Paul Ince on Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, the current "Manufacturer" scorer, and considered it "the team's main problem."
Ines, who played for Manchester United from 1989 to 1995, went so far as to describe Cristiano as "a bad role model, a selfish player who loves himself. If he doesn't score, he won't be happy."
Although the player - who currently works as a sports analyst - was not prominent in his days, his statements spread like wildfire on websites and social media.
But do the numbers prove or deny the words of the former English international?
It is known that the selfish player does not pass the balls to his teammates and always likes to score goals, but that Ronaldo - the first scorer in the history of football with more than 800 goals - tops the list of goal makers in the Champions League and occupies an advanced position in the list of the best decisive passers in the history of football, he lost that Ince is forced to revise his statements.
