Former PSG boss calls Ronaldo the best in the world

Former PSG boss and Ligue 1 winner Christophe Galtier hailed Cristiano Ronaldo. The Ligue 1 winning manager is now the head coach of Qatar Stars League side Al-Duhail. His club came up against Cristiano Ronaldo’s side Al-Nassr. In a high-octane clash in Group E, Ronaldo’s side prevailed 4-3 on the night. Cristiano’s brace helped his side maintain their perfect start in the competition.

Following the game, Galtier was full of praise for the 38-year-old. Speaking of the Portuguese’s exploits during the game, Galtier said that he was speechless. He said:

When you face Ronaldo there's not much to do, he scored two beautiful goals, I'm at a loss for words to describe it. What he did at the age of 38 is extraordinary. He is still the best player in the world.

Finally, he labeled him as the best in the world. This claim has led to a lot of argument and debate among fans.

The Frenchman coached Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Mbappe last season, leading PSG to a Ligue 1. His claim comes as a blow to supporters of the Argentine. Further, while Cristiano leads both goals and assists in the Saudi Pro League, Lionel Messi failed to qualify for the playoffs with Inter Miami.
