Sevilla striker Anthony Martial won’t hear criticism for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Martial is on-loan at Sevilla from Manchester United and has dismissed claims of Ronaldo being disruptive.
He told AS: “Cristiano is a top professional, one of the best in history. We all love him, there are things that are said in the media that are not true. I was in that locker room and I know what happens.”
However, Martial insists Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema is the best in the world.
He also said: “For me he is the best striker in the world, perhaps with (Robert) Lewandowski. Karim has been showing his quality for many years, it’s a pleasure to watch him play. He is also a great guy. I’m so glad he’s having another great season.
“They always compared me (at Lyon) to Karim, and to other strikers, because I was a boy from the Academy. I watched him play and wanted to be like him, so good. We have played together in France, it is something very nice.”
