#1 Marcelo
The Brazilian and Ronaldo’s galactico teammate makes it to the top of the list. But it was not a fairytale start for the two as they met in an international match before Ronaldo joined Real Madrid. In the match Portugal lost 6-2 and the two were seen involved in a heated brawl. However, with Ronaldo’s dream move to Madrid, once they started training together at the Bernabeu, they turned out to be the best of pals on and off the field.
From training ground pranks to celebrating a goal the two are almost inseparable. When the ball finds back of the net from a Ronaldo shot, Marcelo is one of the first players to pounce on and embrace him. Just a couple of months ago, when the Portuguese’s form was critical, Marcelo cleared the aura of doubt saying that he will soon bounce back.
“There is plenty more to come from Ronaldo. He's is still young and he's a great team-mate.”
Ronaldo too returned the favour with a classy gesture by presenting him the match ball which he collected courtesy his hat-trick against Alaves. The video below is just a testimony to their closeness.
