The former Germany international revealed all
Former Real Madrid midfielder Sami Khedira has revealed how a former teammate was more 'special' than Cristiano Ronaldo – but the player made a “mistake” by leaving the club.To add to his success on the domestic front, he was part of Germany ’s squad that won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil – although he pulled up in the warm-up ahead of the final and had to be replaced by Christoph Kramer on the team sheet.
During his playing days, the former midfielder shared the pitch with some of the greats, having won league titles at Juventus, Stuttgart as well as Madrid.when the Portuguese was arguably at his peak between 2011 and 2015 and later shared the pitch with him again following the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s move to Juve in 2019."To win games, Cristiano was the man because he never failed. He was always there. We needed a goal, so the ball went to Cristiano.
“I played behind him, and you gave him a bad pass, and he controlled the ball with ease... I have never seen a player with that class and that quality, really.”“I don't know, because there were Cristiano and Messi and also Xavi and Iniesta, who, for me should have won a Ballon d'Or,” he added.“And although he had a great career, it would have been different at Madrid. And he told me, that it was a serious mistake to leave Madrid, because he had everything here.
