Cristiano Ronaldo stars in brand new Netflix documentary and shows what he promised to the Saudi Pro League!
Luka Modric has named a star-studded six-a-side team of footballing legends but there's no room for Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo .is one of the sport's best in his own right having won 27 trophies with the club as well as the Ballon d'Or.Modric has also played alongside fellow icons that include Karim Benzema, Iker Casillas and Gareth Bale during his glittering career.
When tasked with selecting six of the best as part of a fictional team, he made some bold choices alongside two glaring omissions."It's difficult choice but for me, it's easy because I played with him, it's Iker," said Modric, who played 63 matches with him at Madrid.
Modric's final selection was an attacker and he had to choose from big names that included Pele, as well as"I fell in love with his game and... wow. And others are also... Romario, Messi, Pele, but I go with Ronaldo." Having made 222 appearances and won various trophies, including four Champions Leagues, with Ronaldo, this may come as a surprise.Messi's exclusion may also be a shock for fans, with the World Cup winner arguably the greatest football player of all-time.
The Inter Miami forward has won a record eight Ballons d'Or, but this didn't seem to be enough for him to be part of Modric's selections.
