I have to ask, is this the greatest one-player performance in the CL history? I think it might be. Teams he scored vs and timing etc. It's unreal.

if Real wins, who had a better run? Ronaldo scored more goals in one season, but not vs top oppositions like Real.

I also think this is the greatest 1-player CL performance in CL history.

He already has the record for most CL KO goals in a campaign. 10 in 6 games. In all likelihood, he'll end up with 11 or 12.

And this is easily the best CL KO performance in history, in terms of production.

CR7 and Messi had very strong teams to work with, while this lad is carrying a good but nothing special RM team against opposition similar strength or stronger than them.

True true. If he wins with Real this would be BY FAR the best CL performance.

and it's already the best

Ronaldo in 2017 scored five against Bayern, a hat-trick against Atl?tico and two against Juventus. Yes, vast majority of those goals were rather unremarkable, quality-wise but still.

Benzema :
3 against PSG
4 against Chelsea
3 against City

Let's see what he does in the final.

He had a much stronger team around him. In fact, that 16/17 RM team is one of the greatest XI ever assembled in the modern era (along with 08/09 Barca, 10/11 Barca, 14/15 Barca, 12/13 Bayern, Carlo era Milan, maybe united 08-09).

Also, some of CR7's goals that season were offside lol, especially that Bayern return leg.

Only thing in Ronaldo's favor(for now) when comparing those two seasons is his performance in the final, but Benzemas campaign is better, i think.

Benzema carried this team by himself. Competition was tougher back then with great Madrid, Barca and others. So Ronaldo probably faced tougher competition but had better team.

Also, Real got some super rigged calls..

Agree with that but have to consider Benz has 2 pens, Ronaldo had 0, that's why Ronaldo is still over Benz imo. If Karim scores in final i would put him over Ronaldo. Stunning.
