Asked who among the players he has played against was the best, the 24-year-old forward named Portugal captain Ronaldo, labelling him one of the top players in history.
He noted: “He wasn’t at his best in one game, but I once played against Ronaldo, who is one of the top players in history.”
However, when asked if his new club’s legend Messi is the best player in history, Adeyemi simply replied: “Absolutely.”
The winger joined Dortmund in 2022 from Red Bull Salzburg, netting 36 goals in 146 games across all competitions during four seasons before making his move to Barça.
