The 35-year-old Juventus superstar has built an incredible legacy in the sport and is widely revered as one of the best footballers of all time.
And Ronaldo has won an incredible five Champions League trophies, four of which came at Real Madrid and one at Manchester United.
The Portuguese forward is also the outright Champions League top scorer with 128 goals, which puts him 14 ahead of fierce rival Lionel Messi.
But Twitter user Kol Mikaelson has slammed Ronaldo's success in the Champions League and accused him of being the most-overrated big-match player in the competition.
Mikaelson pointed to Madrid's three back-to-back Champions League's successes and how the Portugal captain underperformed in different matches.
According to the Twitter user, Ronaldo "put [in] one of the worst ever UCL performances" in the first-leg quarter-final clash against Wolfsburg in the 2015-16 season.
And another instance the five-time Ballon d'Or winner was accused of putting in two woeful performances against Bayern Munich in the 2017-18 semi-finals.
2015/16 || QF || 1st Leg
A 2nd leg masterclass doesn’t excuse the fact that he put up one of the worst ever UCL performances against Wolfsburg away.
2015/16 || SF || 2nd leg
Cristiano returned from injury to the 2nd leg of the semi final tie. He was horrendous as Gareth Bale carried Real Madrid to the finals.
2015/16 || Finals ||
A disasterclass against his rivals Atlético. Carried by Sergio Ramos and Atlético’s penalty miss. 2 consecutive disasterclasses in finals vs Atlético.
2017/18 || Finals
Another horrendous disasterclass in a final. Pocketed by 19 year old Trent and Dejan Lovren in the UCL final. Carried by Gareth Bale.
Instead pf praising him, his fans should be grateful he was part of an elite team who stepped up and carried him most of the time.
Ronaldo will return to Champions League action on 26th February as Juventus travel away to Lyon for the first leg of their round-of-16 tie.
