Goalkeeper Buffon picks Ronaldo

Legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldo is better than Barcelona's new target man Zlatan Ibrahimovic, according to Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.

At GQ Magazine you can read that Buffon sees Ronaldo as a greater player than his former Swedish team mate, who is now in FC Barcelona. Confronted with the question about who was the best player he had ever faced during his career, he chose Ronaldo over his former Juve team-mate.

Buffon believes that Ronaldo could have become the greatest of all time, and praized the career of the Corinthians superstar.

"Ronaldo has won two World Cups and he was top scorer during three World Cups," Buffon said, and continued: "Ronaldo used to win games by himself, both hard and easy fixtures. The real Ronaldo has always been a champion for me. He will always be remembered among the greatest, but he could have been better than anyone, including Pele and Maradona."

A great praize for the Brazilian star, who is recovering from a minor hand injury.
