A Quote by Paul Merson

The best player I ever played against was Paolo Maldini. We [Arsenal] played against Milan in the European Supercup [in 1995]. Maldini marked me and I didn't even get a kick of the ball all game. He was just unbelievable.

Against Arsenal Ball Best European Even Ever Game Get Just Kick Maldini Marked Me Milan Played Player Unbelievable

Paolo Maldini. He was tough, tough, every time we played against each other. And I played against him many times. He's a very good friend.

Ronaldo

Dirk Nowitzki is the best European player, for me, that's ever played the game. He's an unbelievable talent.

Giannis Antetokounmpo

The best player I ever played against is Thierry Henry. He was something else; i've played against Rooney and Ronaldo and players like that but i think he was the best player ever to play in the Premier League

Jamie Carragher

Paolo Maldini is neither a legend nor a world class player!

Carlton Palmer

The best player I've ever played against is Kobe Bryant. I have seen him do some stuff that is just unbelievable.

Dirk Nowitzki

I have played against (Michel) Platini, (Diego) Maradona, (Johan) Cruyff and played with George Best — a lot of big names, but none of them has been able to do what Messi does. Two years ago I said that the best player I played against was Maradona and the best player I have played with was Bestie. But I can now say I have never seen a player as good as Messi. He’s in a league of his own.

John Terry

Marvin Harrison was the best receiver I played against, especially being a young player and just learning the game at this level. He was already at a high level, and the job was made even more difficult because it seemed like every time we played the Colts it was in Indianapolis, where they played on turf - that old AstroTurf.

Charles Woodson

Paolo Maldini is someone I loved at AC Milan and looked up to as a player. I think he had so much about him. He had so much quality and he was a player I looked to growing up. Him and Tony Adams - another footballer who's won it all.

John Terry

Ivan Lendl was the best player I ever played. He was the first guy to bring the game to more of a power level and you could know that if he played really well you could get blown off court and that wouldn't happen against John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors or even Bjorn Borg or Guillermo Vilas.

Mats Wilander

Best player I ever played against? I mean, I played against many, many good players, so I don't know who to keep. I would say Ronaldo the Fenomeno.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

The opponent I have most admired during my career is Paolo Maldini.

Javier Zanetti

AC Milan would never have been the same club without Paolo Maldini or Franco Baresi and they certainly would have never had the same amount of success.

Philipp Lahm

He will be England captain one day. Jack Wilshere is a real leader. I saw how he spoke with the referee and the other players [against Denmark]. It is difficult to find someone so young with such a big personality. I remember two defenders, Paolo Maldini and Franco Baresi, and one attacker, Raul, but for personality and confidence on the pitch he is the best young midfielder I have seen for his age.

Fabio Capello

You play against an opponent so much the numbers got to match at some point! I played against the Raiders six years straight pretty much. I played against them more than any team I've ever played.

Emmanuel Sanders

Paolo Maldini and John Terry are two of the toughest men I have met on the field.

Ronaldinho

Paolo Maldini never won, but he was the best defender in the world. Gianluigi Buffon never won; he was the best goalkeeper in the world for many years. But this is the story of the Ballon d'Or.

Antonio Conte
