Cristiano Ronaldo or Eden Hazard? Man City star Jack Grealish picks favorite player in 'Winner stays on' video
Manchester City star Jack Grealish recently picked Cristiano Ronaldo as his favorite player over Eden Hazard. In a 'Winner stays on' challenge by talkSPORT on Instagram, the City star chose Hazard over other top past and present forwards. However, opted for Ronaldo when the Portuguese legend was pitted against the retired Belgian.
In the video, Grealish picked Liverpool winger Luiz Diaz above himself. He then picked Hazard over Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-min and other top wingers such as Ryan Giggs, Ronaldinho, Neymar, Vinicius Jr, and Kylian Mbappe.
However, when the former Real Madrid star was pitted against Ronaldo, Grealish went for the Al-Nassr star.
Watch the video below:
Eden Hazard was regarded as one of the best players in the world during his prime. During his time at Chelsea, the former Belgium international was a dominant presence on the flanks, leaving defenders helpless. He registered 110 goals and 85 assists in 352 games for them, winning multiple trophies.
However, after his reported £89 million transfer to Real Madrid in 2019, the player's performance declined significantly. Persistent injuries hampered his playing time, ultimately leading to his retirement in 2023. He registered just seven goals and 12 assists in 76 games for Los Blancos.
Cristiano Ronaldo, meanwhile, is still waxing strong at 39 in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr. The Portuguese is Real Madrid's all-time goalscorer with 451 goals and recently became the first men's player to score 900 goals for club and country.
As for Grealish, the 29-year-old continues to be a key player in Pep Guardiola's setup at Manchester City. He has made nine appearances across competitions for the Cityzens this term, contributing two assists.
Manchester United duo name Cristiano Ronaldo as best player they've ever played with
In a recent interview with JD Football, Manchester United's duo of Luke Shaw and Casemiro both named Cristiano Ronaldo as the best player they've shared the dressing room with.
When asked to name the best player they've played with, the Englishman replied:
"Ronaldo, not really an explanation for that. I think he's been one, if not the best player in the world for a number of years so definitely him."
Meanwhile, the Brazilian midfielder kept it short and simple, just saying:
"Cristiano."
Shaw played with Ronaldo after he returned to Old Trafford for a second spell in 2021. Meanwhile, Casemiro and the Portuguese icon were teammates for five years at Real Madrid and briefly at Manchester United before he left for Al-Nassr.
