Former Real Madrid goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, has picked Cristiano Ronaldo as the greatest footballer of all time and the finest Real Madrid player ever.
The former Spain number 1 said the the Portuguese icon was better than former France international Zinedine Zidane.
In a video with 90Min, Casillas picked former Los Blancos’ defender, Sergio Ramos over ex-teammates, the likes of Roberto Carlos, Xabi Alonso, Kaká, Modric, Raúl, and Luís Figo before choosing Zidane.
However, when asked to pick between Zidane and Ronaldo, Casillas went for Ronaldo.

However, when asked to pick between the French legend and Ronaldo, the legendary goalkeeper went for the former Manchester United star.
Casillas said via goal,
“These things happen in stages, Cristiano sells a lot, and demands a lot of himself. Along with Lionel Messi he is the best in the world. He has this responsibility.
“As a Madridista, sometimes you don’t understand why it can happen. Six months ago Madrid were European champions, one month ago they were world champions.
“He has just won the trophy as the world’s best player. Last year I remember a difficult moment before [Rafa] Benitez left. Then at the end of the season they were in the clouds with the Champions League. If he scores two or three goals a game, that is just what he is supposed to do. It is madness.
“You must help him – have people around him and the club who help to protect the players. He must continue trying to be the player he is, the best in the world.”
