Lionel Messi is for many people, the best player in all of history, for others, he is not the best but he is undoubtedly in the top 3. Now, the question is who is the best player that Lionel Messi has seen, that is, not players from many years ago, but some more recent ones.

Lionel Messi has no doubts, the Argentine chose Ronaldo Nazario as the best player he has seen with his own eyes: "Ronaldo was a phenomenon. Of all the forwards I have seen in my life, he was the best. An impressive player from any aspect." The words are from an old interview, however, now they have gone viral again on social media.

Ronaldo Nazario also spoke about Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo: They are both very good, they are far above the others. But I would say that Messi has a little more fantasy than Cristiano. The way he carries the ball, with quick movements, changes of direction. Doing that with the ball so close to your foot is not an easy thing," he declared in an interview with Sky Sport Italia.

Ronaldo Nazario reveals what he was like as a player:

These were Ronaldo's words: "I wanted to score goals and this has always been strong in me. And I wanted to have fun because even though I have been a professional, playing football for me has always been great fun".
