Ronaldo: I've Slept in Rooms with Roberto Carlos More Often Than with Women

Brazilian legend Ronaldo has played on both sides of the Real Madrid-Barcelona and Milan rivalries, so he's had no shortage of spectacular team-mates (and that's not mentioning his time spent with the Brazilian national team). 

But Ronaldo has revealed his favourite team-mate...along with a bit of insight into his personal life. 

Now the part-owner of the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, he gave a wide-ranging interview to Sports Illustrated's Grant Wahl in which he said that his best team-mate was fellow Brazilian Roberto Carlos.

"My best team-mate was Roberto Carlos," he said. "I slept more in the same room with Roberto Carlos in training camps than with all the women I've been with in my life! I spent all my life with Roberto Carlos for 20 years: with the national team, with Real Madrid, with Corinthians." 

Well there you have it. If there's a more apt way to describe a bromance than that...well done, Ronaldo. 

He also says that Paolo Maldini and Gianluigi Buffon were two of the toughest players he ever played against and that he currently thinks that Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the best No. 9 on the planet.
