Former Real Madrid star James Rodríguez has this week pointed towards a trio of current Blancos players as the very best in world football.
Colombian icon James for his part sat down for an interview with Spanish outlet Diario AS on Monday.
During the discussion, the 33-year-old was drawn on a whole host of topics, surrounding his time at Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti’s current squad, and more.
And it was his response to one question in particular which has since turned heads across not only Spain’s capital, but all of Europe.
This comes after James named three Real Madrid stars as, in his eyes, the standout performers in all of football.
During his chat with AS, the former Everton and AS Monaco man was asked to name ‘the best player in the world’.
And James could not narrow his selection to just one name, responding with:
“My ranking is Mbappé, Bellingham and Vinícius.”
