Brazil’s football legend, Ronaldo Delima has named his greatest footballer of all time in the history of the sport.
The former Real Madrid player was speaking in an interview with the Guardian where he was asked to name his best player of all time. According to him, it was unfair for him to pick just one player but the greatest shock was the exclusion of Cristiano Ronaldo from the list.
That’s unfair. I think there is a very, very special group where you have Diego, Messi, [Johan] Cruyff, [Franz] Beckenbauer, Pelé, [Marco] van Basten, and Ronaldinho. I would include myself. Let the fans say, let them debate it in the bars. But you can’t rank them, can’t compare generations. People call me Original Ronaldo but, bloody hell, there were others – and they weren’t false. I’m not the only one and more will come along and be better than me, in everything.
The 46-year-old scored 352 goals across 518 games in his career which lasted for nearly two decades before retiring in 2011.
