Ronaldo Nazario singled out the best generation in the history of football and did not hesitate to talk about Cristiano Ronaldo, Leo Messi and Neymar. "Technically, our generation was way ahead," said the Brazilian football legend.
The Brazilian football legend referred to the best generation that has ever existed in the history of football: "All records will be broken, even those of Messi and Ronaldo's today will be broken in the future. Records are made for this. But it is difficult to compare one generation with another. There are no right measures to do this.

"If you ask me which generation to choose, I would say ours, without a doubt... "During my generation, the competition was much tougher than it is now, without wanting to speak less of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.​ And Neymar... But the others are missing, they haven't reached their level. Before there was more competition and not only in Italy, but also in Spain and England," added Ronaldo.

What’s your take on this? Which generation is better, Leo/Cristiano’s or Ronaldo De lima’s?

Not far from the truth

Go n sleep

Who go say he mama food no sweet??

With all due respect Sir, I disagree.
Messi & Ronaldo generation broke almost all existing records & it will take decades to have another generation that will exceed or even match their achievements.
Infact it's a rare privilege for us to have witnessed the generation of Messi & Ronaldo.
All hail the 2 GOATs!

I agree with Him

Two Jealous.

Agreed there were many good footballers and teams back then compare to now, but saying your generation is better is a joke taking too far.

Barcelona under Guardiola and Madrid under Zidane are much better than any team in your generation. The only team that can be compare to them are AC Milan under Ancelotti. Also, Messi and Ronaldo are better than any footballer during your time.

very true...that generation had Ronaldo delima,Figo,Redondo(my favorite left footed midfielder of all time),zidane,cafu,batistuta,rivaldo,younger ronaldinho,Raul,seedorf,maldini,riquelme,bergkamp etc..the list long....so many top players...this generation is just Messi and Ronaldo..maybe neymar...hazard flattered to deceive

True!

So many mad players then.

Even keepers were mad too.

Not now that you can easily pick out the stars in a team.

I dis-concur

Not far from the truth although it's debatable.
It sounds funny some people here are saying Delima is jealous, this is the guy who is called the original Ronaldo maybe u can look back and check is record before his injury.
Barcelona greatest team�? Maybe u can go back and look at the original team Barcelona team was modelled after Johan cruff ajax.
And the fact is non of Messi or Ronaldo could have accumulated those astonished amount of balon'd or during these guy generation. The competition was amazing then.

CR7 & Messi were helped by social media - the only tool I know where fools defeat intellectuals.

Anyone who watched the two generations will know he is talking the truth but most people from this generation will disagree cos they didn't watch the 90s and early 2000

Yes.

Players then were more technically gifted

Not far from the truth

Bros, that's the real truth !!!

There's a glaring drought of exceptional players in the football world today, unlike what we had in 90s and early 2000.

Imagine Neymar being Brazil best player now, terrible !!!
