Brazil icon Ronaldo leaves Cristiano Ronaldo out of his list of GOATs

Ronaldo Nazario has snubbed Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo when discussing the greatest players of all time.

To add insult to injury, he's now been left out of an exclusive list of football legends.

“I think there is a very, very special group where you have Diego, Messi, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Pelé, Van Basten, Ronaldinho," said Ronaldo.

"I would include myself. Let the fans say, let them debate it in the bars. But you can’t rank them, can’t compare generations."

He won two Ballon d'Or trophies and two World Cups over the course of his glittering career.

In 1997, he won his first Ballon d'Or award aged 21, a feat that made him the youngest ever recipient of the famous accolade - it's also a record that still stands to this day.

However, his career was sadly derailed by knee injuries suffered during his time with Inter Milan and he retired in 2011 with over 400 career goals.

Speaking of his career, his documentary has just been released on DAZN titled 'The Phenomenon' which covers Ronaldo's stunning career in both club and international football.

It was released on the streaming platform on October 21st and is available to watch now.
