Former Manchester City captain Kevin De Bruyne has hailed Brazilian legend Ronaldo after meeting him while on holiday.

De Bruyne is enjoying time off after a rollercoaster campaign with Manchester City and Belgium.

The 33-year-old, who joined Napoli earlier this month, has been soaking up the sun in Southern France with Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk.

The pairs crossed path with legendary striker Ronaldo, 48, and posed for a photo all smiles.

And De Bruyne was full of compliment for the South American, writing on Instagram: 'Nicest legend in the game', with a heart emoji.
