Brazil legend Ronaldo 'the best player in history', says AC Milan star Ibrahimovic

Milan star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has named Brazil legend Ronaldo as 'the best player in history'.

Ibrahimovic expressed his admiration towards the World Cup winner ahead of Milan's Europa League clash with Red Star Belgrade on Thursday night, while putting him ahead of modern-day greats such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the all-time list of top players.

The 39-year-old thinks Ronaldo Nazario, who inspired Brazil to World Cup glory in 2002, transcended the game with his unique talents and still stands out as the unrivalled master of the footballing craft to this day.
