Argentina won the World Cup in Qatar and the talk of football’s GOAT (Greatest of All Time) started again. Jose Mourinho talked about this aspect and was surprised: the coach of the Lusitanians does not put Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo first.

The Brazilian Ronaldo that Mourinho saw above Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

The coach of “Roma” brings up the Brazilian Ronaldo.

Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima is the player who impressed Mourinho the most and the coach believed the Brazilian was more talented than Messi and Cristiano.

“Ronaldu, a phenomenon (not who the GOAT is). Cristiano and Messi had a longer career, they were in the daily top for 15 years. However, when it comes to talent and skill alone, no one compares to Ronaldo Nazario.

When I was at Barcelona with Bobby Robson, I realized he was the best footballer I had ever seen on the pitch.

Injuries ruined his career, which could have been even more special, but the talent of the 19-year-old was incredible.” Jose Mourinhoquoted by SportBible.

Born on September 22, 1976, Ronaldo was one of the greatest players of his era.

During his career he played for Cruzeiro, PSV, Barcelona (moved for 15 million euros), Inter Milan (26.5 million), Real Madrid (45 million), Milan and Corinthians”.

He officially retired from football on February 13, 2011. He is now the president of Real Valladolid.
