Brazilian star Marcelo has played with some stellar names in the past, including Ronaldinho, Kaka and of course Neymar – but Cristiano Ronaldo is the best of the lot according to the 29-year-old.

The left-back, who on Thursday committed his future to the Bernabeu club until 2022, was speaking following Los Blancos’ victory in Europe.

It has been a good week for the Whites after the 3-0 crushing of Apoel Nicosia, the goalscoring return of Cristiano Ronaldo and news that Isco has also penned a new four-year contract renewal – keeping him in the Spanish capital until 2022, too.
