Fernando Torres: Cristiano Ronaldo should win FIFA Player of the Year
Liverpool striker Fernando Torres insists Manchester United and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo is "in a class of his own" when it comes to deciding the world's best player.
The pair are both on the 23-man shortlist for the FIFA World Player of the Year award, along with five of Torres' Euro 2008-winning team-mates and his Liverpool colleague Steven Gerrard.
However, Torres is in no doubt as to who should win the award.
"No-one can rival him," he told France Football. "He is in a class of his own. I have never seen a comparable player.
"What he did last season is incredible. No-one won this year what he's won: Champions League, Premier League and Golden Boot.
"For me he is the best player in the world. A machine. Incomparable."
Ronaldo is hot favourite to succeed Kaka as European and World Footballer of the Year after the winger's 42 goals helped fire United to European and domestic glory.
