'Ronaldinho is the best player ever': Gerard Deulofeu hails Brazilian as greatest of all time ahead of former Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi but says six-time Ballon d'Or winner is an 'incredible person'

Gerard Deulofeu has hailed Barcelona legend Ronaldinho as the greatest player of all time ahead of his former team-mate Lionel Messi.

Deluofeu, who is currently on loan at Udinese from Watford, briefly shared the pitch with Messi during his four years at the Nou Camp and described him as an 'incredible person'.

But the forward, who has enjoyed loan spells with Everton, Sevilla and AC Milan, believes Ronaldinho is the best of all time, despite Messi being Barca's all time leading goalscorer.
