Benzema snubs Cristiano Ronaldo when naming his GOAT

Cristiano Ronaldo said several weeks ago that he himself was the best player in history, words that do not surprise those who know him. However, not everyone agrees, as demonstrated by his former teammate Karim Benzema.

Now rivals in Saudi Arabia, Benzema does not believe that the Portuguese is the best player in history. Not even Leo Messi, the other player many say he surpasses. The Frenchman opted for another No 9.

“Did Cristiano say he was the best? Everyone can say what he wants. If he thinks he is the best in history, it's him. There are many. For me, for example, it's Ronaldo, the one from Brazil,” Benzema confessed on ‘TNT Sports’ in Brazil.

“I don't like to make comparisons between players. I think everyone has their own story and he has his, he is very good,” added the former Real Madrid striker and former teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo.
