“I still consider him the most complete player of all time. The Brazilian was the best player I have ever seen.”

Kahn’s appreciation of Ronaldo's talent likely stems from his firsthand experience during the 2002 FIFA World Cup final, where the Brazilian scored a brace to seal Brazil’s 2-0 victory over Germany.

Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or twice and is widely regarded as one of the best footballers in history.
