He is the most dangerous player at Real: Rivaldo about Ronaldo
Speaking about Cristiano Ronaldo, Rivaldo hailed him as the most dangerous player. He said, "Cristiano Ronaldo? He is the most dangerous player at Real. It's hard to stop him, like Messi. This is because both score a lot of goals, and you never know what is going to be the next thing they will invent for scoring.”
He said about Messi, "I don't think Barcelona will ever have a player like Messi in its history. He is unique and the best player in the world. Honestly, I do not see anyone this season [2018-19] capable of overshadowing him to win the individual awards for best player on the planet. And we are only in May! But he's going to win everything: Ballon d'Or, FIFA World Player."
