Resign Berbatov, a legend of Manchester United or Tottenham, among others, and ambassador of Betfair, he praised himself Karim Benzema, front of Real Madrid, until qualifying it as one of the five best in the world.
“Benzema is one of the top five strikers in the world. He has been unlucky that he has been compared to Cristiano Ronaldo too long, but Ever since Cristiano left Real Madrid, he has been able to demonstrate how much of a footballer he isThe Betfair ambassador began his reflection.
“Is that Karim has it all. He is a brilliant scorer and has received incredible compliments from people very close to football, who are the ones who really understand what is good and what is not. Maybe your problem is that you don't have the same press officer as Cristiano RonaldoThat is why it does not receive so many public merits. If I had it… ”Berbatov joked.
“Sergio Ramos is the rock of Real Madrid, without him, he is very different”
With regard to the tie between Real Madrid and Manchester City, Berbatov believes that the English are slightly favorites “because they are very hungry for European titles” and because the loss of Ramos, says the Bulgarian, is more than a loss for those of Zidane. “It is a gigantic loss for Real Madrid. Ramos is a very difficult guy to replace. But as a player and as a captain. He is the one who pulls the stirrups from behind.
I honestly believe that without Ramos it is a great opportunity for the City to knock down a great man from Europe, ”warned the Betfair ambassador.
“The City has to exploit that gap that leaves the loss of Ramos in defense. Fortunately Agüero seems to be in good shape to play and rummage through the wound. Ramos is the team's rock and without him, Real Madrid is very different“The former Bulgarian international striker described very graphically. “If they miss this opportunity, they don't deserve to win the Champions League“He added.
“A forward would be amazing Neymar, Cristiano, Mbappé”
Berbatov, who played for Monaco in Ligue-1, also echoed the rumors that put Cristiano Ronaldo close to PSG. “For me it would not be a surprise if he took another jump similar to the one Ibrahimovic gave and that he was playing until he was 39. If he is 35 and he has plenty. The money seems that it would not be a problem for PSG and if both parties agree, I think it could be given, “predicted the Betfair ambassador.
“A Neymar, Cristiano and Mbappé striker would be amazing … wow! And besides, in France he would enjoy playing. It is not as strong as Italy, Spain or England, but it is a league similar to the Bundesliga and PSG, like Bayern, wins it all. It would be a different way of achieving success in his duel with Messi. Messi seems to be staying in Barcelona for life. I imagine him finishing as presidentBerbatov joked.
“Sevilla is one of the toughest rivals in the Europa League”
In addition to the return of the Champions League, This week also returns a Europa League in which Berbatov sees in Seville one of the toughest rivals of his Manchester United. “I honestly consider it to be one of the most complicated, but if United has to play against them, it will be a good way to test themselves and see if they are really growing as much as it seems,” Berbatov reflected.
“Sevilla is a Spanish team, very, very technical with that formula of constantly passing the ball. You can't let them take the tempo of the game because if they don't beat you“Added a Berbatov who, in any case, also warns rivals. “If Manchester United wants to win the Europa League, it has to be respected. The enemies you come across are sure to be scared when it hits them against the red devils, “Berbatov concluded.
