Ronaldo Nazario didn't hesitate when asked if Cristiano Ronaldo is the GOAT and his answer may surprise fans

Ronaldo Nazario has responded after being asked if Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest footballer of all time.

Over the years, Portuguese legend Ronaldo has been breaking records left, right and centre.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has played for some of the biggest clubs in world football, including the likes of Sporting Clube de Portugal, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus.

Currently, the 40-year-old plays for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr, the side he joined after his second stint at Old Trafford ended in bitter fashion.

Having so far scored 790 goals in 1050 club appearances, Ronaldo will forever be remembered as one of the greatest of all time.

However, when directly asked if the Portuguese was the GOAT, Brazilian Ronaldo only said he would be in the top 10.

As reported by Mundo Deportivo, he said: "Well, I don't like to get into these things, but people have a lot of self-esteem... I prefer that people talk like that about my performance, about what I was... and not that I have to talk about myself.

"He has a fantastic story, doesn't he? He conquered wonderful things, scored goals in every way, including a change of position because he has played as a winger and striker. That's not easy. It's among the best in history, but the best I don't know... No, I don't agree. I respect your opinion, but for me it is among the best. I would say among the top 10."

In another interview, Ronaldo Nazario picked out the worst player he has played with in his career.

He explained to Romario TV: "There was one at Real Madrid that was a joke. Gravesen was a really great guy, very good person. He recently won a $50 million poker tournament. But in football he was very bad."

Gravesen joined Los Blancos in January 2005 for a reported fee of £2.5 million, leaving Premier League side Everton.

At the time, the Dane was signed to fill a hole in Madrid's defensive midfield area and ended up scoring in one of his first matches for the club, during a 4-0 win over Espanyol.
