Gareth Bale more ‘complete’ than Cristiano Ronaldo – Manchester United’s Casemiro
Manchester United’s former Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro says Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest footballer he has played with – but that Gareth Bale is the “most complete”.
Casemiro, 34, won five Champions League titles during nine stellar years at Real and has spent the last four years at Old Trafford.
The 84-cap Brazil international says Wales legend Bale is the finest all-round player he has played alongside.
“Cristiano scores a minimum 15 goals [every season] but Bale is attack, defend, heads, scores,” Casemiro told the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast., external
“Cristiano is the best, he’s in another world. Take Cristiano out of the conversation. But for me Bale is the best, more complete player.
“Everything he does [is] very good. Very quick. Too strong. For me Bale is unbelievable.”
