“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.”
