The legendary Brazilian Ronaldo has revealed his list of the greatest footballers in history, and it doesn’t include Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Manchester United superstar has lately been through a rough time after he refused to come on for the Red Devils against Spurs and was then sent to train with the U21 team.
And things aren’t going any better for the Portuguese attacker now that Ronaldo Nazario has left him off of his list of all-time great football players.
Who Is On The All-Time Great List Of Ronaldo?
Speaking to The Guardian, the Brazilian icon was asked who was greater out of Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona, to which he replied: “That’s unfair.
“I think there is a very, very special group where you have Diego, Messi, [Johan] Cruyff, [Franz] Beckenbauer, Pelé, [Marco] van Basten, Ronaldinho.
“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.”

There was no space for Man United’s Ronaldo on the list however the Brazilian star did make reference to him shortly after.
“People call me Original Ronaldo but, bloody hell, there were others – and they weren’t false. I’m not the only one and more will come along and be better than me, in everything,” he said.
