Ronaldo will always be the best, Fonte claims

The Real Madrid superstar has, thus far, netted four goals in the World Cup and he has been hailed by his defensive team-mate

Portugal defender Jose Fonte thinks international team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo will always be the best player in the world.

The Real Madrid star has enjoyed blistering form in the World Cup in Russia, scoring four goals in his opening two matches to help propel Portugal towards the knockout stages - including a hat-trick against Iberian rivals Spain.

Ronaldo then scored the only goal of the game in Portugal's 1-0 victory over Morocco and is tipped as the favourite to win the Golden Boot.
