Many people think that he is humble, but it is, and the greatest stars of Portuguese history are indeed Cristiano Ronaldo and Eusebio. Cristiano Ronaldo We all know that the Champions League has been three times in a row, the European Championship has won the European Cup, and the Golden Boot is numerous, so who is Eusebio? Many young fans may not know much. How could he be more powerful than Figo? Let me introduce the great Portuguese star!

Born in Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, Africa, Eusebio is of pure African descent. However, since Mozambique was a Portuguese colony at that time, Eusebio later also acquired Portuguese nationality.

Later, he joined the giants of the Portuguese Super League, Benfica, known as the European black shop. During his time at Benfica, Eusebio helped the team win 2 Champions Leagues, 3 Champions League runners-up, 11 National League titles, 5 National Cup winners, and Eusibio personally became the Golden Boot of the Portuguese Premier League seven times.

The club career can be described as very glorious, not only full of honors, but also the efficiency of goals is terrifying. In his 22-year career, 15 years have been with Benfica, scoring more than 600 goals, and he deserves to be the Benfica King! He was also the first Portuguese to win the Golden Ball.

Eusebio is also legendary in the national team, making 64 appearances for Portugal and scoring 41 goals. He led Portugal to third place in the 1966 World Cup and was the top scorer of that cup. The third place in the World Cup is also the best record in Portugal's World Cup history!

Of course, when it comes to this, it is provocative to compare him with Ronaldo, but at present, it has been concluded that Eusebio is far from being comparable to Ronaldo. I know there are a lot of people who are not convinced, especially some people who are obsessed, but that's the truth. Champions League Ronaldo, and Ronaldo won the first European Cup in Portugal's history, in the World Cup, Ronaldo has also reached the final four, basically flat.

So Eusebio is great, but Ronaldo is the greatest player in Portuguese history. This is an undeniable fact.

However, Eusebio had a good relationship with Ronaldo before his death. Often stands at events for young Ronaldo. When Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal flew back to Portugal with the glory of the European championship, they took a group photo in the special plane, and stood collectively in front of the glittering Delaunay Cup to quietly mourn Eusebio.
