Liverpool striker Fernando Torres says Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the world.

"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."
