Former England manager, Fabio Capello has named three football icons he feels are better than Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

According to Capello, the likes of Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, and Ronaldo Nazario are above the level of Ronaldo.

The former Real Madrid coach believes the Portugal captain cannot be compared to the trio because of their genius ability, which he [Ronaldo] lacks.

Speaking recently on Egyptian outlet ON Sport’s Hat-trick program, Capello said: “Cristiano [Ronaldo] is a great goalscorer and an incredible athlete, but he doesn’t have the genius of Messi, Maradona or Ronaldo Nazario.

“That genius that the others possessed is absent in Cristiano. He can’t be compared to those three.”

Ronaldo, meanwhile, had labelled himself as the greatest footballer of all time. The 41-year-old has netted 961 career goals so far.
