Zinedine Zidane believes Cristiano Ronaldo is still the world’s best player

Rafael Benitez made the critical mistake of getting off on the wrong foot with Cristiano Ronaldo by refusing to name him as the best player in the world.

Zinedine Zidane, knowing how upset Ronaldo can get when described as anything but the greatest, did not make the same error in his press conference today.
The new Real Madrid head coach told reporters that, in his mind, Ronaldo is “still the best in the world”. Surprise, surprise.
