Brazilian "Ronaldo", Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, top scorer for Juventus, was excluded from the list of five players he said he enjoyed watching, and chose Barcelona star Lionel Messi as the leader.

"Messi is number one," the retired superstar said. "He has talent. We will wait twenty or thirty years to see her or something similar."

The former Barcelona and Real Madrid player, the Egyptian Mohamed Salah, chose the Liverpool star, the Belgian Edin Hazard, the Real Madrid player, and the Brazilian Neymar and his colleague in Paris Saint-Germain, the Frenchman Clyan Mbappe.

On the comparison between him and Mbappe, the world champion with the samba team made it clear that he did not like the comparison between two players from two different generations.

He continued, "Many say that the method of playing Mbappe is similar to the way my game, has the speed and accuracy to end the attacks, the skill, and pay with the feet, he is a wonderful player."

"We have many similar things, but I do not like comparisons, especially between players from two different generations, because the circumstances are different," he concluded.
