Benzema: Cristiano Ronaldo is not the GOAT...

Karim Benzema claims his former Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo is not the greatest footballer of all time.

The Frenchman played alongside Ronaldo nine seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu, where they won a number of trophies.

Benzema and Ronaldo formed part of a deadly trio with Welshman Gareth Bale.

Ronaldo recently stated that he is best football of all time, despite some going for Lionel Messi, Pele or Diego Maradonna.

However, Benzema disagreed with his former teammate and revealed Brazil legend Ronaldo da Lima is the best.

"I think everyone can say what they want," Benzema told reporters.

"If he thinks he is the best in history, then he is. It depends, for me, for example, the best is Ronaldo from Brazil.

"I don't like to make comparisons between players, each one has their own story, he [Cristiano] has his own and it's a very good one."
