Romario omits Messi and Cristiano from best players of all time

IF I was picking a combined front three from Barcelona and Real Madrid, who would I leave out from the attacking trio at the Nou Camp to accommodate Cristiano Ronaldo and the ridiculous number of goals he scores for Zinedine Zidane’s side?

The duo are now combining with Luis Suarez to form the most feared forward line in world football, and Ronaldo is full of admiration for his countryman.

Additionally, such a move could be interpreted as lack of respect towards one’s opponents, something that was pointed out by former Madrid legend Roberto Carlos in the aftermath of the incident. “It would be very good if he played for Barcelona”, Neymar was quoted as saying by goal.com.

The 31-year-old has been linked with Paris Saint-Germain and a move to MLS or China, but Neymar admitted he would welcome him at Barca.

Ivan Rakitic has revealed that Barcelona teammates Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar are “the closest best friends in the world”.

Neymar helped lead Barcelona to an historic Treble of La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League titles last season, finishing joint-top scorer in Europe’s top club competition along the way. “I really hope that he will have a great career as a coach too”, Ronaldo added.

“It may sound like an exaggeration, but I tell you: Messi, Suarez and Neymar are the best of friends, and possibly the best friends in football history”.

“It’s hard [to defend the Champions League], there are great teams, as good as Barcelona”.
