Nadal says that both Cristiano and Messi are very good but he actually prefers Ronaldo Nazario.
The tennis star believes claims that best version of Ronaldo was that from his Barca days, before his serious injury.
“Best footballer in history? That’s a really tricky question but from what I’ve seen I think Ronaldo,” tennis legend Rafael Nadal hast told Tennis World USA. “I’m not talking about Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi.

“Not to say Cristiano or Messi who are very good nowadays but I’m going to say Ronaldo [Nazario]. Ronaldo was, I think he was fantastic and also a wonderful guy. He was always really good, but before he got gravely injured, he was outstanding.

“He was amazing and I met him when he was at his peak because my uncle played with him in Barcelona.”

It’s great to hear that Rafa, a well-known Real Madrid fan, believes that the best version of the Brazilian Ronaldo was the one from Barca.
