Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane
Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane once hailed Cristiano Ronaldo for scoring over 400 goals as a winger. The Portuguese superstar started his career as a winger, before taking up a more central role.
Ronaldo became a household name during his time at Manchester United, before moving to Los Blancos in 2009. He transformed into a goalscoring machine during his stay with the LaLiga champions.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner scored 450 goals from 438 games over nine seasons with Real Madrid. He played under Los Blancos legend Zidane for two-and-a-half seasons at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Speaking in 2017, as relayed by The Daily Mail, Zizou insisted that Ronaldo was good enough to play as an out-an-out striker.
