If I was a Madrid fan I'd legit rank him higher than Cristiano.
Without a doubt, 5 UCLs > 4 UCLs (at Madrid)
Only players I can think at Benz’s level are Puskas and Di Stefano

So where does Benz rank in all time Madridstas? 2nd highest goal scorer and 5 UCLs, and no CR7 for the 5th. Surely he’s gotta be top 3
Gotta be in the conversation for top 10 all time Madrid, if we’re being honest.

Not sure if he goes ahead of Bernabeu, Puskas, Di Stefano or Raul but after that, it’s fair game.

I hate these lists.
If you're asking Real Madrid icons.
Top 10. Top 5 if he breaks the goalscoring record. Or needs another CL title as the MAN.
Santiago Bernabeu is #1
C Dot and Di Stefano are interchangeable at #2.
Paco Gento probably got to be in Top 5-6 as he has the most CL medals.
Then where do you fit Zidane in? More successful career at Real as a coach than player.
Miguel Munoz won 4 La Liga titles and 3 CL as player then won 9 La Liga titles and 2 CL as coach. Where does he go?

Are you saying Lord Pendu isn’t the undisputed GOAT of any club?

He's the greatest player to come out of Sportings academy.

I know your comment was tongue in cheek, but on a more serious note..He's the greatest player to come out of Sportings academy.
is he Sportings GOAT?
Definitely not United’s GOAT
Isn’t looking like Madrids GOAT
Definitely not Juves GOAT
Is he Portugals GOAT? Do they rank him above Eusebio?
Definitely not the GOAT EPL player, nor Serie A, nor La Liga, UCL is debatable.

I’m looking less at iconic players and more so successful at RM as a player.
That’s why I didnt include Santiago, Zizou, Munoz.
But I did forget Gento there. Regarding me ranking him above Cdot, he’s no. 2 all time scorer but has 1 more Madrid UCL than Cdot.
I’d say he was deff the man this last UCL win they had (outside scoring in the final).

Is he the best ever player to play for Sporting? Yes. But that doesnt make him the best ever Sporting player.

His Madrid team mates who also reached 5 after this last one they won. Then performance wise, Messi will also always be in the debate, then there’s actually nikkas like Ramos too, Marcelo alsoWho else is in the debate

C dot won how many Balon dOr at Real? He also had the pressure of wearing the #7. His level at Real was higher and longer than Benz has been even if Benz has tenure on his side. Its Real Madrid star power matters and Benz for all of his greatness isn't matching C dots. Which is also a byproduct of the whole vs Barca/Messi storyline.
C dot/Benz is this generation Di Stefano/Puskas.
