“Who is the best?” In the latest video published on his very recent YouTube channel – which is already a hit – Cristiano Ronaldo shared a moment of complicity with his former Manchester United teammate Rio Ferdinand. Invited to the game “who is the best?”, the Portuguese named his favorite players, among whom the Mancunians Paul Scholes, David Beckham and Ryan Giggs were rated higher than CR7’s former Madrid teammates, Sergio Ramos and Marcelo.
However, his choice changed by designating Karim Benzema instead of the former Welsh legend. Asked to choose between his former teammate and Kylian Mbappé, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner did not hesitate for long before answering in favor of the captain of the French team.
342 games played with Nueve
A choice that may surprise given the history between Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. Arriving together during the summer transfer window in 2010, the two players played 342 games together in eight seasons. The two members of the “BBC” also delighted and made opposing defenses suffer during their adventure in the Spanish capital. The Portuguese scored 47 goals on an offering from the Frenchman, who scored 29 times after being served by CR7. A choice linked to certain statements from Nueve, who had not chosen his former attacking partner in his dream eleven?
On the other hand, Ronaldo has crossed paths with Kylian Mbappé five times. The new Real striker, a big fan of the Al-Nassr player, won their last confrontation in the quarter-final of Euro 2024, after suffering two defeats with PSG against the Madrid team in the Champions League (3-1, 2-1), and two draws with Les Bleus in the Nations League in 2021 (0-0) and in the group stage of Euro 2021 (2-2).
