Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Russian president, Vladimir Putin, named his choices when asked about whom his greatest footballers of all-time are.

The 69-year-old practically snubbed Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in his selection of the world’s top three footballers.

Despite splitting 12 Ballon d’Or titles between themselves, with Messi winning it seven times while CR7 has five of the awards, Putin instead opted for players who dominated the game in the past.
