Thank God I didn’t play against Messi – Maldini names two best attackers he faced
AC Milan legend, Paolo Maldini has named the late Diego Maradona and Brazilian legend, Ronaldo Nazario as the two best attackers he ever faced during his career.
Maldini, who thanked God that he didn’t face Paris Saint-Germain’s Lionel Messi, also said that Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo is a great striker but has less magic than Maradona and Nazario.
Speaking about the best attackers he has faced, Maldini said (via Tutto Juve): “He [Maradona] and Ronaldo [Nazario], the Brazilian, are the strongest.
“I did not play against Messi, thank God. CR7 [Cristiano Ronaldo] is a great striker, but he has less magic than the other two.”
“I was fast and physically strong, but they [Maradona and Ronaldo] were even faster. Diego [Maradona] was also very nice. When they nominated him in the Hall of Fame, I was ashamed for having given him so many blows, and I apologised,” he said.
Maldina was widely considered as one of the best defenders in world football during his playing days.
The former Italian defender won over 25 trophies during his professional career
