Clayton Blackmore:
"Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world at the moment.
"When I watch wide players these days I always think, 'Would I want to play against him'. In Ronaldo's case, the answer is categorically no.
"As someone who played with and against Ryan Giggs, I know exactly how good he is. But Ronaldo is something different.
"He does things in a game situation most people only practise in training. He backheels the ball, plays one-twos with himself, does these reverse passes. Then there are the stepovers. People think he is just doing them for effect. But as a defender, it is a total nightmare.
"I have never seen anyone with such quick feet. It is like a blur and you know, at some point, he is going to take the ball with him.
"The only way I can see it is possible to stop him is by getting touch-tight every time the ball gets near him. But even then, he has the pace to get round the back."
