Rio tasked Ronaldo with picking between some of his most distinguished former team-mates over the years.
CR7 had some interesting choices when pitting his former teammates against each other. He chose Manchester United legend Paul Scholes over Gary Neville, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Carlos Tevez. Then, David Beckham was picked ahead of Angel Di Maria but ultimately lost to Ryan Giggs.
Giggs beat out some tough competition, including Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Javier Hernandez, Marcelo, Xabi Alonso, and Toni Kroos. But when it came to facing off against Karim Benzema, Ronaldo chose his former Real Madrid teammate.
