Nani believes Cristiano Ronaldo is the “best player ever” and is better than Lionel Messi and Pele.
The 40 – year-old told Football Wave: “One player who really surprised me and impressed me a lot in the beginning was Paul Scholes – he was phenomenal.
“My favorite was still Cristiano Ronaldo – the best.
“Best player ever? I have seen so many… even from the past like Maradona, Pele … but I would pick my companion of many battles, someone I have won so much with, someone I really respect.
“Numbers don’t lie and they also show he is the best – Cristiano Ronalo.”

CUT YOUR CLOTH
Premier League stars are being urged to take a pay cut during the coronavirus pandemic with a potential £ million ready to be contributed to the fight.
Clubs across Europe are instilling salary reductions to ensure regular staff are paid during football’s lockdown – but English football is yet to agree on its next step.
The latest official accounts on player wages, tallied by Deloitte, outline a massive £ 2.9billion earned annually across the top-flight.
Given these numbers are for the (/ 27 season, they are undoubtedly higher now after salaries rose per cent to reach that figure from the previous year.
Therefore a simple two-month pay cut of per cent across the board would raise at least £ m to ensure staff are paid and to help the NHS.
And that figure rockets up to £ 676 m if the cut is either extended to three months or two months’ wages are reduced by 56 per cent.
