Mourinho: Ibrahimovic is better than Ronaldo
December 21, 2008
Inter Milan will not face Manchester United until the end of February but coach Jose Mourinho has already declared his striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is better than Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
The former Chelsea boss believes his fellow Portuguese Ronaldo "is certainly not the best'' player in the world, instead claiming Sweden striker Ibrahimovic deserves the accolade after hitting 10 goals in Serie A this season.
Mourinho's comments are sure to fan the flames ahead of Inter's clash with United in the last 16 of the Champions League, which kicks off with the first leg at the San Siro on February 22.
"When I think how a player should be, names like Kaka, Ibrahimovic and (Lionel) Messi come to mind,'' Mourinho said.
"Messi is great and in two or three years' time he will win the Golden Ball (Ballon d'Or) award.''
