Fernando Morientes believes that Cristiano Ronaldo left a bigger legacy at Real Madrid than Alfredo Di Stefano.
Di Stefano scored 216 goals in 282 appearances for the Spanish giants, leading most fans to praise the Buenos Aires-born attacker as the club’s biggest icon.
Morientes, however, feels that Ronaldo, who scored 311 goals in 292 showings for Madrid, leaves the Santiago Bernabéu with an even higher profile.
“I think that in the years that have passed Ronaldo has achieved everything that can be achieved at a club like Real Madrid,” he told Goal.
“I did not meet Alfredo Di Stefano, who everyone talks about being the greatest legend, but for me the greatest legend of Real Madrid will be Cristiano Ronaldo.
“What he has done in modern football is difficult to achieve. I’m very sorry that a player like that has had to leave Real Madrid, even if it’s for a lot of money.”
