Barcelona player, Lionel Messi has named Ronaldo Nazario as the best striker in the history of football.
Messi picked Ronaldo Nazario ahead of his teammate Luiz Suarez and closest rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
“Ronaldo [Nazario] was a phenomenon, Of all the strikers I ever saw, he was the best,” Messi told TyC Sports.
“He was impressive,” he added.
Speaking on his best strike partner for Barcelona, Messi said: “Ronaldinho helped me a lot. I came into the dressing room at 16-17 years of age, seeing all those footballing giants made it tough.
“But he mentored me and made me feel comfortable, and I loosened up. Afterwards on the pitch, I always looked for him but we didn’t have many years to enjoy together. Besides, we didn’t play as much at that time. I would have liked to play more with Ronaldinho.
“I have played five years with Luis Suárez. Playing every 3 days, you get used to each other and play by heart. We have children of the same age, spend our lives together every day, and the relationship is growing ever stronger.”
Ronaldo played for Barcelona, Inter Milan and also Real Madrid. He won the 2002 world cup with Brazil in Korea-Japan.
