Ben Foster Names the Best Footballer He’s Seen Live, Above Ronaldo
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster has revealed the most impressive footballer he has ever seen play live, a choice that surprisingly ranks above Cristiano Ronaldo. In a recent interview, Foster named Brazilian legend Ronaldinho as the standout player, citing his remarkable performance during a Champions League match at the Camp Nou.
Foster reminisced about a particular game where Ronaldinho's flair and skill left an indelible mark on him. 'Ronaldinho was just on another level,' Foster stated, recalling the Brazilian's dazzling display against Chelsea in 2005. That match saw Ronaldinho score twice and assist another goal in a 4-2 victory, showcasing the kind of magic that Foster believes set him apart, even from the likes of Ronaldo.
Despite having played alongside Ronaldo at Manchester United, Foster's admiration for Ronaldinho's on-field genius remains unshaken. The former Watford goalkeeper's revelation adds to the ongoing debate about the greatest footballers of all time, with Ronaldinho's name often mentioned alongside the elite.
