Ronaldo: 'Zlatan Ibrahimovic is best forward in world'

Former Brazil forward Ronaldo has claimed that Paris Saint-Germain's Zlatan Ibrahimovic is 'the best striker in the world'.

Ibrahimovic has played for the likes of Juventus, Inter Milan, Barcelona and AC Milan during a star-studded career, and Ronaldo believes that the Swede stands alone in the forward department.

"I think the best striker is Ibrahimovic," Ronaldo told Sports Illustrated. "He wears number 10, but he plays like a number 9.

"Last year I went to Paris a couple of times and watched matches in which he played. His movement [is amazing]! He's very, very good - the best at the moment."

Ibrahimovic, 33, has won 11 league titles with six separate clubs.
