Brazilian goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes struggled to choose his best team-mate

Heurelho Gomes, the former Tottenham, PSV, Spurs, and Watford goalkeeper, has played alongside some incredible football stars throughout his career. However, when asked to pick his greatest ever team-mate, Gomes chose Barcelona legend Ronaldinho.

Not a snub to Real Madrid icons Gareth Bale and Luka Modric

Gomes played with Gareth Bale and Luka Modric during his time at Tottenham. While he acknowledges their talent, he found it too difficult to separate the exciting talents he played with at the club level. Therefore, he opted to choose Ronaldinho as his greatest team-mate at the international level.

Ronaldinho's impressive career

Ronaldinho, who won the Ballon d'Or, LaLiga twice, and the Champions League during his time at Barcelona from 2003 to 2008, is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation. He also had successful spells at PSG and AC Milan, as well as an impressive international career with 33 goals in 97 appearances.

The other contenders

Although Gomes chose Ronaldinho, he also played alongside other football legends such as Ronaldo and Luka Modric. Ronaldo, a former Barcelona and Real Madrid striker, is a double Ballon d'Or winner and won the World Cup in 2004 and 2012. Modric, on the other hand, is still playing at the age of 38 and has achieved great success with Real Madrid, including winning the Ballon d'Or in 2018.

In conclusion, Gomes had the privilege of playing with some of the best players in the world, but Ronaldinho stood out as his greatest team-mate at the international level.
