Ronaldo Nazario weighed the goat’s debate as he named the top five players, who enjoy seeing them.
Brazilian veteran Ronaldo saw Lionel Messi as ‘number one’ and brutally snatched Cristiano Ronaldo in his top five players, which he likes to watch.
Messi has enjoyed a great career with both the club and the country. He won four Champions League titles with Barcelona and inspired Argentina for the World Cup pride in 2022.
Ronaldo claimed that the world would take ’20 or 30 years’ before the world witness the same player.
Speaking in 2020, he told As: “Messi, of course, is the number one, it is a talent that we will take 20 or 30 years to see something similar.”
On one hand Messi, Ronaldo also loves to see Liverpool’s Mohammad Salah, Eden Hazard, Neymar and Kylian Mabappa.
He said, “I also like advice, Hazard, Neymar, that I like to see him playing, definitely MBapp,” he said.
At the time, Hazard was after his transfer from Chelsea in Real Madrid, while Neymar and Mabappa were in Paris St.-Germen.
And the advice was producing heroines for Liverpool, where he still remains.

Ronaldo also addressed the comparison between himself and Mbappe, as he insists that it is difficult to compare players of different ages.
“It says that many people who look like me, have a lot of speed, are well finished, have great movements, are excellent hits with both legs, an incredible stride,” he said.
“We have similar things, but I never liked comparison, especially among the players of different generations, because the conditions are different.”
Mbappe has since transferred to the same number (9) in real and sports, which is after his magic with Spanish veterans as Ronaldo.
And the French is enjoying a vipul debut campaign in Spain, already scoring an impressive 30 goals in all competitions.
In view of Ronaldo’s best goal-scoring season in Real, an impressive achievement was 31 goals in the 2003/04 campaign.
