Cristiano Ronaldo was one of the greatest Premier League players of all time but an Arsenal player has better statistics.

Cristiano Ronaldo shined for Manchester United for years, especially during his early years. Ronaldo joined Man United in 2003 from Sporting CP and played there for six years. Ronaldo won his first Champions League trophy with Man United and won three consecutive Premier League titles from 2003 to 2009.

Ronaldo left in 2009 to join Real Madrid, but it wasn't the last time he wore the Manchester United shirt. He made his legendary return to the club in 2021 and played for one year there before leaving for Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo has played over 300 games and scored over 140 goals for Manchester United throughout his career. Despite his legendary status, his numbers aren't better than a current Arsenal player.

Sky Sports posted a comparison between Cristiano Ronaldo and Bukayo Saka from Arsenal on X. The post has caused rage from football fans and love from Arsenal fans. The comparison shows the stats after their first 210 games in all competitions. Saka scored 50 goals and provided 49 assists, while Ronaldo scored 50 goals and 43 assists. Saka's total goal contributions are 100 compared to Ronaldo's 93.

What are Bukayo Saka's stats this season?

Saka currently has ten goals and seven assists for Arsenal in the Premier League this season. Saka has played five games in the Champions League, scoring three goals and providing four assists. He has a total of 26 goal contributions in 31 appearances this season for Arsenal in all competitions, scoring 13 goals and providing 13 assists.

Football Insider reports that Arsenal valued Bukayo Saka at between £150m and £200m. Saka seems unsellable for Arsenal but is now one of the most valuable players in world football. With Real Madrid already stacked, it seems Arsenal can feel calm about no team approaching to sign him at this time.
