The legendary Brazilian forward Ronaldo commented on Cristiano Ronaldo's statement where he called himself the greatest player of all time. In an interview with ESPN, the Brazilian stated that the Portuguese star is too overconfident and then named his own number 1.
"I prefer others to talk about my performances, about what I have done, about who I was. It's better than if I spoke about myself. But Cristiano Ronaldo has an amazing story, doesn't he? He has done remarkable things. He is undoubtedly one of the best in history, he is certainly in the top ten. But I don't agree that he is the best," said Ronaldo.
Following this, the Brazilian listed the players he considers the best in history. He admitted that he considers Pelé as number 1, followed by Maradona and Messi on approximately the same level. After them come many other footballers, including Cristiano, Zidane, Van Basten, Ronaldinho, and others.
It should be noted that recently Cristiano Ronaldo, in an interview with El Chiringuito, stated that he considers himself the most complete player in history and that he has never seen anyone better than himself.
