Last updated:

Rio de Janeiro: Brazilian football legend Pele believes Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo is the No 1 player in the world right now but feels sorry that there are just two big names in football at present. “At the moment the best player in the world is Ronaldo. I admire him, if I had to set up a national team he would be my first pick. But in the meantime I feel sorry because today and the last five years, you just mention two big stars (Ronaldo and Lionel Messi). Some years ago, you had a lot of players,” Pele was quoted as saying by dailymail.co.uk.
