Ronaldo Nazario in his prime wouldn't make it any of Pep's teams due to him being a party freak & hated training.

Aside from that, R9 wasn't as good of a goalscorer as Haaland.
Nonsense. The best number 9 there's ever been, you can go and look up Pep's words on him - he said he's the best number 9 he's ever seen (or played with).

R9 was literally unplayable for 4-5 years before his knee went. His acceleration, pace, composure and finishing was supreme.

We’ll never know how good he’d have been in this era, but he’d likely have been less of a party boy now the culture has changed. He might have been partying with Neymar’s family though.

It doesn't mean Pep (as a coach) would prefer to have Ronaldo in his team. Keep in mind that Pep is also the same person who kicked Ronaldinho & Deco from Barca due to their lack of professionalism...

Ronaldo was extremely gifted as a talent, but he would end up as a Brazilian Kalvin-Philip. With R9's lack of professionalism, he wouldn't fit in with Pep demanding high work rate from his attackers.

Different era, but Pep recognises that some players (like Messi) need to be treated differently. There's a reason he was called the phenom, he'd walk into any team that's ever been including City's.
