Karim Benzema: 'Cristiano Ronaldo best ever'

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema expresses his belief that teammate Cristiano Ronaldo is the best footballer of all time.

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has expressed his belief that teammate Cristiano Ronaldo is the best footballer of all time.

The 29-year-old became the first player to score at least 25 goals in five successive La Liga campaigns after firing the Blancos to victory over Malaga on Saturday.

The Portugal ace also pipped Lionel Messi and Franck Ribery to the coveted FIFA Ballon d'Or award in January, and the Frenchman says that the winger is a "dream" to play alongside.

"He made me dream and he still makes me dream," Benzema told Telefoot. "For me, he is the best player of all time.

"I play with the best player in the world. We get along well on and off the pitch and I learn a lot from him."

The former Manchester United star has fired 240 goals in his five-year stay in the Spanish capital thus far.
