Benzema Contradicts Ronaldo: "Brazilian Ronaldo is the Best"
Benzema’s Response to Cristiano Ronaldo’s Statement
Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent comments about being the most complete player in history sparked a wave of debate.
Karim Benzema, the 37-year-old French striker playing for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, has responded to Cristiano Ronaldo’s claim that he is the best and most complete footballer of all time.
While the 40-year-old Portuguese legend has boldly declared himself the greatest, Benzema disagrees and believes the title belongs to Brazilian football icon Ronaldo Nazario.
Benzema’s Response to Cristiano Ronaldo's Statement
Benzema and Ronaldo shared the Real Madrid dressing room for nine years, forming a strong attacking partnership.
However, Benzema has made it clear that he considers Ronaldo Nazario to be the best footballer ever.
“Everyone can say what they want. Does he believe he’s the greatest in history? For me, Ronaldo Nazario is the best,” Benzema stated in an interview with TNT Sports Brasil, as reported by Marca.
“I don’t like comparing players, but each one has their own story, and Ronaldo’s is truly exceptional.”
Ronaldo’s Legacy and the GOAT Debate
Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent comments about being the most complete player in history sparked a wave of debate.
He argued that his diverse skill set, including his strength, speed, and ability to score with both feet and his head, set him apart from other football legends like Pele, Messi, and Maradona.
On the other hand, Benzema maintains that while Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly a great player, the title of “Greatest of All Time” should belong to the Brazilian.
Ronaldo Nazario’s influence and skill on the pitch left an indelible mark on football history, which Benzema believes should be recognized.
Current Football Paths of the Two Stars
Both players now ply their trade in Saudi Arabia, with Benzema leading Al-Ittihad at the top of the league, while Ronaldo plays for Al-Nassr, currently in fourth place.
Despite their differences in opinion, both continue to perform at a high level.
