Federico Chiesa said that Cristiano Ronaldo is the most famous person in his phone book, but said he no longer speaks to the Portugal superstar as he "doesn't want to disturb him." Chiesa played alongside Ronaldo at Juventus during the 2020-21 season, and the pair won the Coppa Italia together at the end of that campaign. In an interview with Sky Sports, Chiesa was asked for the identity of the most famous person in his phonebook, and after naming Ronaldo, he said: "He's built like a statue, I have to say.

I don't want to disturb him!" In a comment that could well see Chiesa's number blocked in Ronaldo's phone, the Liverpool forward named Lionel Messi as the greatest player of all time. I have to say in all honesty, Messi is the greatest player of all time." Chiesa also went on to say Barcelona's Lamine Yamal is currently the best winger in the world, ranking him ahead of teammate Mohamed Salah.

"I would say Lamine [is the best at the moment. "The weird thing about Lamine is, for a player of his age, to be so precise and doing the right thing at the right moment – It's just unbelievable, he's a fantastic player.
