Watching David Beckham and Ronaldo scoring all these free-kicks, I was in awe.

Mason Mount

When I'm back in my country, it's like being David Beckham. But it's like that for David Beckham all over the world. It must be more difficult for him than for me.

Park Ji-sung

During the Sir Alex Ferguson years, you would see all those great players - Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Jaap Stam, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo, to name just a few - and you'd quickly realise why Old Trafford had an aura like nowhere else.

Peter Crouch

Not everyone is Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. Even Cristiano Ronaldo's first years at Manchester United were quite difficult.

Ryan Babel

My guess is that if David Beckham wants Ronaldo's jersey, he's going to get it.

Landon Donovan

Cristiano Ronaldo is big and strong, but Messi's technique is pure class.

Jesus Navas

If people only knew how much I respect Cristiano Ronaldo. I will repeat it to make myself clear: I respect Cristiano Ronaldo.

Dani Alves

I remember watching David Beckham scoring that free-kick at Old Trafford to take England to a World Cup. Things like that stick with you. I was at Southsea, waiting to board a hovercraft for the Isle of Wight. We ended up missing it because we were more interested in watching the big screen.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

My free-kick secret? I just look at the net and say take the kick, Cristiano.

Cristiano Ronaldo

For me, Paul Scholes is on the same level as Ronaldo. The real Ronaldo, not Cristiano. I always thought he was a great player but after I played alongside him I realised he was Manchester United's greatest player of all time. He did his talking on the pitch which I respected most.

Fabien Barthez

The pictures from the first professional photo session that the young David Beckham submitted himself to are extraordinary. He has a barely suppressed smile, as though he and the cameraman are complicit in the understanding that this is not yet David Beckham we see and that there is an element of deceit in selling the photographs as such

Julie Burchill

Cristiano Ronaldo is more of a professional, hard-working guy. Ronaldo is the example you follow.

Samir Nasri

Real Madrid without Cristiano Ronaldo are, of course, not what they were with Ronaldo, but they're still a very good team.

Niko Kovac

Nobody can ever truly replace Cristiano Ronaldo, because he was unique, a one-off, who created an unbelievably legacy of success at the club. But what I see in Vinicius is special too, I believe he is the best candidate in football to replace Cristiano and to conquer the world with Madrid.

Cafu

I always looked up to Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo because he was for me the ideal footballer. He was at United, he had an unbelievable shot, his skills, he was fast, so the complete player. I always try to do the same things on the pitch like him.
