Cristiano Ronaldo’s prestige is far greater than any of his Real Madrid teammates, the brilliant Mesut Özil included. There are some though, who feel that Özil, with his clever runs and wonderful passes, is at least as important to Madrid’s success as the goal-hungry Portuguese. Ronaldo’s consistent failure to star for his national team serves as evidence for this thesis. There are others, though, who say that Özil’s assist record wouldn’t be so high if it wasn’t for Ronaldo expertly finishing of the chances Özil creates. Perhaps this Euro 2012 match, Germany vs Portugal, in which both are pitted against one another, will allow us to judge which player needs the other the most – or that perhaps they both need each other to truly shine.
