Cristiano Ronaldo Named in Zinedine Zidane's All-Time Premier League XI

He's his main man at the Bernabeu, and Zinedine Zidane believes Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the best 11 players to have ever graced the Premier League.

The current Real Madrid boss was asked by Shortlist (via Goal.com) to name his all-time XI from the English top flight, and the Portuguese superstar was named alongside Thierry Henry at the top of a 4-4-2 formation.

Ronaldo represented Manchester United for six years until joining the Spanish giants in 2009, while Henry scored 228 times for Arsenal in 376 games.

Zidane's squad is dominated by players from the red half of Manchester, with Peter Schmeichel, Jaap Stam, Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand joining Ronaldo in the formation.

Scholes and Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard are selected as wide midfielders to make room for Patrick Vieira and Claude Makelele in the middle of the park.

Makelele's former team-mate Ashley Cole is the only other Chelsea player in Zidane's dream team, slotting in at left-back, meaning there's no room for another Stamford Bridge legend in Frank Lampard.

Lampard or no Lampard, it's a formidable lineup from Zidane...
