Cristiano Ronaldo chooses the best player in the world and it's neither Mbappé nor Erling Haaland

Cristiano Ronaldo Dos Santos continues to be a world reference in soccer despite already being 38 years old and being in the Saudi Arabian league, the reality is that everything he says or does generates controversy, and now has not been the exception.

Now, on all social networks, the name of Cristiano Ronaldo has gone viral once again, and this time it was not because of something he did on the pitch, but because of an interview he gave a few months ago, in which he admitted who is the best player in the world

Who is it? The main reason why it surprised thousands of fans is because it's about Lionel Messi. Despite the tough rivalry they have had for more than a decade at Real Madrid and Barcelona, it appears they hold no grudges and for this reason, Cristiano has chosen him as the best

Which were his words?

“Messi is amazing, magical, top; As a person, we shared the stage for 16 years, imagine 16 years at the top... I have a great relationship with him. We're not friends, in terms of someone who comes to your house or talks on the phone, but he's like a teammate. He's a guy I respect a lot, the way he always expresses himself to me."
