Karim Benzema knows for sure, who's the best attacker ever to play football.

There is no doubt, the eyes of the entire world of football are only pending a single event, Manchester City vs Real Madrid, a match that will define the second finalist of the UEFA Champions League, after Inter Milan's victory over its top rival, AC Milan.

Now, one of the main players in this great game is undoubtedly Karim Benzema, current winner of the Ballon d'Or and the UEFA Champions League. The Frenchman is one of the best strikers in the world and in history, and now it has been revealed who, for Karim, is the best striker in the world.

It's about Ronaldo, but not Cristiano, but Ronaldo Nazario: "He was my idol since I was little. I started watching football because of him. I watched the movements a lot, I try. But it's impossible to do it the same way. I admired him a lot. There is no striker like him You can have his speed but not his ability to do things, his way of handling the ball, of shooting..."

What else did Benzema say?

"People thought that he only scored goals but he also knew how to give the ball, to do everything. He's the model forward. I've learned from Zidane and Ronaldo. A forward has to know how to do many things, not just goals. If I'm on the pitch and I score a goal but I don't touch the ball in ninety minutes... With my game I want to show another thing about the striker. It's difficult, but little by little", he also commented.
