However, for Mane, Brazil legend, Ronaldinho is easily the greatest footballer of all time.

In the old video, the Senegalese disclosed that he grew up idolizing the Barcelona legend.

"Ronaldinho for me was one of my heroes and I really loved watching him play," Mane said.

"I still love him and he is still my hero forever," the winger added.
