Eto'o Names Best Current Players, Snubs Ronaldo
16 May, 2020
African legend Samuel Eto'o has named who he thinks will be the best players in the overall game at this time, but snubbed five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
The retired Cameroon striker took part within an Instagram Live chat organised by Generation Amazing, a football development programme created as part of Qatar's successful 2022 FIFA World Cup bid, and discussed various subject areas around the sport.
The former FC Barcelona striker was asked to mention the players he thinks will be the best in the world today, and chose his ex-teammate Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe, overlooking Ronaldo.
"The very best current players? I'd need to go with Lionel Messi, who's more capable, and Kylian Mbappe, who's the youngster making the largest impression," Eto'o answered, as quoted by AS.
"I think he'll be the principle global star in the a long time."
The 39-year-old also picked his greatest player of all time, and named his ideal attacking trio.
"The best of most was Ronaldo, 'O Fenomeno'. I have such great respect and admiration for him," Eto'o added.
"Then there are a great number of us who appear behind him, and I'd include myself included in this.
"As for the very best attacking trio, it is rather difficult to choose, but I'd go for Messi, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo 'O Fenomeno'."
