Former Spain striker Raul
believes Ronaldo could be the best player of all time. 29-year-old Ronaldo
rival Barcelona Lionel Messi, with both sparring to become the best footballers
ever lived after Argentina Diego Maradona and three-time World Cup winner Pele.
Real Madrid Cristiano Ronaldo was in January named the world best player of the
year and Lionel Messi remains four-time recipient of the ballon d'Or.
New York Cosmos star, Raul,
told BBC World Football show:
"I think now he is at the
top, and if he continues the same way, he could be the best of all time. I
think Cristiano and Lionel Messi are two of the best players in the history of
the game. Are they better than Pele or Diego Maradona? They are at the top, but
I think it is difficult in football to say who is first or second or third. But
if Cristiano continues for five years..."
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored
281 goals in 267 games for Real Madrid so far, adding the last two after a
double score in yesterday's game against Almeria.
Ex-Real Madrid star, Raul,
37, expects the Portuguese to surpass his 323-goal record.
