Real Madrid legend Ronaldo named the club's best Brazilian player by the youngsters

Ronaldo was Real Madrid's most iconic Brazilian player

Rodrygo paid tribute to legendary Real Madrid striker Ronaldo and said that the Brazilian's exploits with Los Blancos brought immense pride to the country.

"If we are going based on history, the player I liked the most was Ronaldo, for everything that he did for Brazil and what he did at Real Madrid. He is one of the best players of all time. I'll go with Ronaldo."

Ronaldo stayed with Real Madrid till 2007 and was a crucial part of the Galacticos, a group of superstars assembled at Real Madrid by Florentino Perez.

Real Madrid's young Brazilian stalwarts also expressed admiration for the club's present leaders. Vinicius picked Marcelo and Sergio Ramos as his idols and mentors in Real Madrid's current setup.

"All the players really, but Marcelo and Sergio Ramos are the ones who've been here the longest and they've managed to play for just two clubs in their career and that's really important. Having that recognition inside the club is very important to us too."

Rodrygo also agreed with his Real Madrid teammate and said that Sergio Ramos' ability to lead from the front sets him apart as a bonafide Real Madrid legend.

"The same for me, too: Sergio, for eveything that he's won, and for what he transmits to us. The importance of training in a focused way, even with his age, he still seems young. And Marcelo, for being our compatriot and for the history he's had here, he's a reference for me too."

Rodrygo joined Real Madrid in 2018 for a transfer fee of €45 million. The former Santos winger scored his first league goal for Real Madrid against Osasuna in September 2019. The goal was scored only a minute after kick-off and announced Rodrygo's arrival on the big stage.

Real Madrid has found an absolute gem of a player in Rodrygo. The striker went on to score a hat-trick against Galatasaray in November 2019 and proved that his debut goal was not a one-off incident.
