"Cristiano? Yes, he is the best in history after Napoleon Bonaparte. Enough, Jorge Mendes [Ronaldo's agent has said that CR7 is the best]!" former Italy star Antonio Cassano has told the media, as per Mundo Deportivo.
"Cristiano is not even in the top five. Messi, Pele, Maradona, Cruyff and Ronaldo 'Fenomeno' are on another level," the 39-year-old said.
There are some truly iconic players on Cassano's list but does Ronaldo Nazario really deserve making it more than Cristiano? Part of the Brazilian's career was overshadowed by injuries while the Portuguese star has always been consistent.
The 36-year-old is the all-time leading international top scorer and the top Champions League goalscorer in the history of the competition – isn't it enough to make be among the greatest?
