Cristiano Ronaldo has been around for over 15 years, this is his toughest defender.

Cristiano Ronaldo is already 38 years old, and has been one of the best players in the world for more than 15 years. Despite the fact that he joined Al Nassr and his age, the reality is that, to a lesser extent, Cristiano Ronaldo is still a competitive beast, and that is why he has 11 goals in 9 games.

Now, an old interview with Cristiano Ronaldo has gone viral all over the world on social networks, in which, among other questions, they ask him what is the most difficult defender he has ever faced. His response is not what was really expected by fans...

Eduardo Aguirre, a renowned journalist from Spain, part of the famous program "El Chiringuito", asked him exactly, what is the most difficult defender you have faced? and his answer was simple and blunt: Ashley Cole, the former English footballer for Chelsea FC.

What did Ashley Cole say about Cristiano?

These where his words: “I think it was not only on the court, I think it was also mentally, by saying something to him. I liked to think that he put me in his head. And obviously I had a lot of his teammates trying to get into my head, saying, 'Oh, he did this to you. 0-0, nothing happened. 1-0, the tricks -luxuries- began to appear. We had good battles."
