Maradona does not think Ronaldo is the best in history

CAIRO – 22 January 2018: Former Argentinean captain Diego Armando Maradona revealed on Sunday that he does not think Real Madrid winger Cristiano Ronaldo is the best football player in history.


“Everybody has the right to say what they want and I don't think Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in history,” Maradona told Telesur on Sunday.


Cristiano Ronaldo has previously said that he believes he is the best football player in history after winning his fifth Ballon D’Or in December.


Maradona showed his admiration to Ronaldo; “I do respect the career he is having. He has a long way to go from this point to the point where we talk about him as the best ever."


Maradona is considered by many football fans as the best player in history after he led his national team to win the 1986 World Cup in Mexico and led them again to the 1990 World Cup finals in Italy when they lost 1-0 to Germany.
