Bayern Munich manager, Vincent Kompany has named Barcelona legend Ronaldinho as the toughest player he ever faced during his playing days as a professional footballer.
Kompany picked Ronaldinho over Al-Nassr’s Cristiano Ronaldo and Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi.
Reflecting on his experiences as a professional footballer, the Belgian said Ronaldinho left a lasting impression on him during one particular game.
Kompany also acknowledged Ronaldo and Messi as the best players, but he reserved special admiration for Ronaldinho.
“There were many, but there was one who impressed me more than any other. It was Ronaldinho, do you know him?” Kompany said (via MARCA) when asked about the toughest player he ever faced.
“Of course, Messi and Ronaldo are incredibly good; they are probably the best players, but from what I saw in one game, it was Ronaldinho.”
