Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi pay tributes to Diego Maradona

Cristiano Ronaldo has labelled Argentine legend Diego Maradona as an unparalleled magician. The Juventus star was speaking after learning about the Argentine legend passing away at the age of 60.

Regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, Maradona has a huge following across the world.

In a few decades, Ronaldo might also be regarded in the same breath as the former great given his accomplishments in the game. Maradona had been struggling with a lot of physical issues in recent years and he died of cardiac arrest in his home. This led to tributes from around the world flowing to the icon.

Ronaldo is not the only superstar to pay tributes to the former great.

HIGUAIN OMITS RONALDO FROM BEST LIST

Gonzalo Higuain has surprisingly left out Cristiano Ronaldo from his list of best players.

Higuain shared the dressing room with Ronaldo at two different clubs but that was not enough for the Portuguese to be part of the list of the best three players at the moment. The player told ESPN the identity of his best three footballers.

Higuain shared the Argentine national team dressing room with Barcelona skipper Lionel Messi. The Inter Miami striker also snubbed Messi just like what was obtainable with Ronaldo. According to Higuain, Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski, Real Madrid star Karim Benzema and young Borussia Dortmund hitman ErlingHaaland are the top three players currently.
