Cristiano Ronaldo's 5 favourite teammates

#2 Pepe

Be it club or country, teammates forever

Again, a player Ronaldo has played with for many years and is still teammates with. Be it their national team Portugal or club Real Madrid, these two have conquered Europe together and absolutely love each other’s endearment. They registered a double this year with the UEFA Champions league trophy and the EURO 2016 to their name.

Ronaldo has immense faith and appreciation for Pepe, so much so that he wants the Portuguese next to him each time he is on a mission to be victorious. Applauding the never say die attitude of Pepe, Ronaldo once said:

“Not only is he a fantastic defender, but he leaves nothing on the field. He gives everything Pepe is the team-mate I would want next to me in a war.”

Given an opportunity, Pepe isn’t too far either when it comes to lauding his teammate

“Without any disrespect to Eusebio or any other players who have played for the national team, Ronaldo is a symbol for Portugal. Given the goals that he has scored for Portugal and for his clubs, he is a player who is going to leave a long-lasting mark on football,” he was quoted as saying.
