On the night Cristiano Ronaldo was unveiled as a Real Madrid player, he received the deafening applause of the Bernabeu crowd with a legend of the game over each shoulder. To his right stood Alfredo Di Stefano, the Blancos' wonderful forward of the 1950s and 60s, while on his left was Eusebio, then considered Portugal's finest ever footballer.
These days, question marks are beginning to be asked as to whether the 'Black Panther' really is the greatest player to come from the Iberian nation, and it is because of the successes of Ronaldo that Eusebio's status as an untouchable great is being doubted.
