James Rodríguez chose the best player, it's not Cristiano Ronaldo nor Lionel Messi

James Rodríguez surprised the world nine years ago with his performance in the Colombian National Team in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The midfielder was the best player in the tournament and Real Madrid decided to buy him and he became a star.

His first years at Real Madrid were good and he impressed Cristiano Ronaldo, at this club he won the Champions League and had a great performance. He then began to have problems and left the club to play for various clubs without standing out.

Now James Rodríguez does not have a team but he chose the player he most admires and the best in history. His decision surprised everyone because he respects a soccer player who was world champion and who even got nervous when he asked for his shirt. The Colombian stayed with Andrés Iniesta.

The best shirt I've ever traded? That of Andres Iniesta. A lot of quality. Lots of class. I have changed shirts with him and the truth is that he was a player of the 10 before. There aren't many like that anymore. He is a player that I always wanted to see play, I admired him because he was the best and changing shirts with him was something great”. James said in an interview with Rio Ferdinand.
