Buffon heaped praisse on the 40-year-old, when asked which strikers caused him the most problems in his carrier.
“The striker who caused me all kinds [of trouble] was Ronaldo, the Brazilian one,” the veteran Italian keeper told Marca.
“He was the perfect player, as he had power, speed, intuition technical skills and quickness. He was a jaw-dropping player, it seemed like he was created in a lab.”
Ronaldo earned 98 caps for Brazil following his debut in 1994, scoring 62 goals — only second to all-time leader – Pele.
