Hugo Larsson, a midfielder in the Bundesliga, explains why he thinks Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest player of all time.
He explained why, in his opinion, the Portuguese player is superior to Lionel Messi, even if the Argentinean ace is a greater player.
For the first time in 13 years, neither Messi nor Ronaldo were included in the 2024 Ballon d’Or candidacy.
Larsson, who paid €9 million to join Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023 after leaving Malmo FF, is dressed in the team’s colours.
Regarding Messi and Ronaldo, the midfield player expressed his respect for the 39-year-old great Portuguese on The Cooligans YouTube channel.
“I don’t look up to him as a football player, [I look up to him] more of like a person. Growing up and realizing football is a lot about what goes on in your head and outside the pitch.
“And I think in that respect, Cristiano is the best in the world. I think the mentality he has [is something I really admire].
“I think Messi is the better player but I like Cristiano more. He has this kind of cool aura and that is what kind of drew me into him.
“Even the hairstyle, while growing up, you want to look like him.”
