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.
