Cristiano Ronaldo isn't among the greatest five players of all time [full list]
Antonio Cassano, a former Real Madrid and Italy striker, has left Cristiano Ronaldo out of his top five football players in history.
Lionel Messi of Paris Saint-Germain, late Argentine hero Diego Maradona, Dutch legend Johan Cruyff, and Brazilian legends Pele and Ronaldo Nazario, according to Cassano, are the best players of all time.
Cassano firmly said on Christian Vieiri's Twitch channel, Bobo TV, via AS: "Enough theatre."
"Is Cristiano Ronaldo the greatest player in football history?"
He isn't even close to being in the top five."
"For me, [Lionel] Messi, Pele, [Diego] Maradona, [Johan] Cruyff, and Ronaldo [Nazario] are on a different level," he added. Ronaldo has won the Ballon d'Or five times.
Only Lionel Messi has won more Ballon d'Or awards than Cristiano Ronaldo.
