Gianluigi Buffon has hailed Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo as the “most decisive” player in his position ahead of the Champions League quarterfinal second leg at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.
Ronaldo scored twice, one of them a stunning overhead kick, as Madrid won the first leg 3-0 in Turin.
Speaking at the news conference, Buffon said Ronaldo was a constant threat.
“I don’t know if he is the most complete player, as in these years I have faced great players,” Buffon said.
“But at the moment, for the position he plays, he is the most decisive, I’ve no doubt. He is impressive. He is consistent and always scores goals.”
Buffon was also asked about Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas amid speculation that the club are keen to replace him with Manchester United’s David De Gea.
