Pablo Sarabia, a former midfielder of Paris Saint-Germain, recently shared his preference for Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi and Neymar, citing the Portuguese’s mindset as the differentiator. Having emerged from the Real Madrid academy, Sarabia had the opportunity to train and play alongside Ronaldo during his brief stint with the senior team in the 2010-2011 season.
In a conversation with talkSPORT, Sarabia acknowledged the exceptional talents of the three players and lauded their off-pitch personas, emphasizing their influence as role models, even for his son. When pressed to pick his preferred player among the trio, Sarabia deliberated on each individual’s remarkable qualities.
While acknowledging Neymar’s unique skills and ability to stand out among other players, Sarabia was awestruck by the Brazilian’s exceptional quality with the ball. He expressed that Neymar’s capabilities were unparalleled and he had never witnessed anything quite like it before.
Moving on to Messi, Sarabia highlighted the Argentine’s widely recognized scoring prowess and his unrivaled ability to find solutions on the field.
However, it was Ronaldo’s unparalleled mindset that ultimately swayed Sarabia’s choice. Describing it as “totally incredible,” he emphasized the difficulty of his decision due to Ronaldo’s exceptional mentality.
Currently plying his trade for the Premier League club Wolves, Sarabia’s insights into the mindset and abilities of these football icons offer a compelling perspective on the enduring debate surrounding these legendary players.
