    Pato left Brazil with only 27 official games, but he scored 12 goals and had 1 assist, all of that before turning 18. Unfortunately his career wasn’t what we expected, but his first professional years are also really impressive.

    It should be pointed out that Endrick reached 56 games younger than the other two, tbh (which also led to him playing fewer minutes per game). I think both were already over 18 at that point, and Endrick is 17 and 4 months.

    Ronaldo with good knees is easily the GOAT, imo. Imagine if he was able to stay fit and reach his natural peak without injury? Yuck.

        Haaland’s was similar to Neymar. He had 0 goals in his first 16 games but he was only 15 when he made his debut

        20 goals, 6 assists in his next 50 games afterwards then exploded once he turned 18 and moved to Salzburg

    R9 is the greatest forward ever no question. He had Romario’s technical abilities plus he was fast as a gazelle

    I’ve watched football since 1990 and r9 at his peak was IMHO better than Messi, Ronaldo or anyone else I’ve watched. I can’t speak for maradona and pele as I never watched them live. If r9 had the dedication of cr7 and durability of Messi , I think he could be the GOAT

      If you’ve watched football since 1990 you really should have seen Maradona, he played in the 1990 and 1994 world cups.

        Typo , I watched Italia 90 but only properly started leagues watching around 93. He was amazing in usa94, maybe the argies could have won it if he didn’t get disqualified……

    R9 was a beast. Has been said a million times, but again too bad he had those injuries.
