Same thing happened to Eusébio. While Pele did more for the national team, Eusébio was clearly the better club player and greater career, however it's rare to hear the main stream media reference Eusébio when they talk about past greats of the game. Even silly footie games that put in classic players never put it Eusébio.
If Ronaldo does not win anything with the national team, I expect 30 years from now when I have grand kids, they will only hear of Ronaldo from Portuguese references, outside of that it will be Messi.
I feel that people have been too harsh on Ronaldo and he is one of the top players. If he is to finally put an end to this Messi talk, he needs to ensure that Real continue to win La Liga and eventual get the CL with Real. Throw in a title with Portugal and it will be known as the Ronaldo era. He did the right think by going to La Liga since if he can continue to win at Real, Messi's hype will go down.
