Paolo Montero thinks that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been the best in the world, but for now, CR7 is number one.
The Juventus legend granted an interview to Tuttosport where he praised the Portuguese striker and Juve's overall performance against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
"Cristiano, when he jumps to steer the ball, looks like Pele, he jumps and seems suspended in the air more than others; it's impressive, "said the veteran defender to the Turin daily.
"CR7 has only one rival: himself. The big guys are all like that, I think of Zinedine Zidane, Alessando Del Piero, Edgar Davids. In the last ten years, Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have taken turns: the best was sometimes Leo, the best Cristiano. Messi is fine, but number one is Ronaldo. "
Montero was asked if the impact of CR7 on Juventus had been a surprise
"No, because Zidane has talked to me about it so many times. Cristiano has the same mentality as Juve: to work, work, work. "
Ronaldo risks a fine and possibly a ban for imitating the celebration of Diego Simeone at the final whistle.
"I'm the last to speak, I've done worse in the past: do you remember Celta Vigo? … Of course, Cristiano should not be disqualified: Cholo, for the same gesture, was only fined .
"Watching Emre Can against Atletico has also scared me! He did an impressive job as a midfielder and defender.
"But the 3-0 did not surprise me. From the first minutes we saw an aggressive Juve and they knew what they wanted. The result was the good price. "
Juventus is about to win its 8th successive Scudetto, which has sometimes become the norm for fans.
"We do not laugh, it's scary! I've won 5 championships and I know how much work is behind. These 8 years of Juventus are superhuman, crazy.
"In the middle of the championships, there was also Coppe Italia, Supercoppe, 2 finals of the Champions League. As I said to a friend from Turin: if the rivals do not wake up, Juve will clearly have the way to its fourth star. "
