The former Barcelona star is one of the greatest ever to grace the pitch, and to Iheanacho, he is the greatest of all time

Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho has named Barcelona legend Ronaldinho Gaucho his greatest footballer of all time, Soccernet.ng reports.

To many, Ronaldinho is one of the greatest footballers to ever grace the pitch. He played for top clubs like PSG, AC Milan, and Barcelona where he played his best football.

Ronaldinho was known for his close ball control, technical skills, creativity, dribbling, free-kick accuracy, use of tricks, feints, no-look passes, and overhead kicks, coupled with the capability to both score and create goals.

The retired 43-year-old won a lot of awards and trophies in his days, including the Balon D’or. The only thing missing from Ronaldinho’s cabinet is the FIFA World Cup.

Iheanacho is currently in the Super Eagles camp for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. Nigeria have played two games in the competition, but Iheanacho has yet to feature in any.
