YouTube stars the F2 Freestylers have claimed that Ballon d'Or holder and four-time Champions League winner Cristiano Ronaldo 'wouldn't stand a chance', if he were to enter a freestyle competition.

In a recent interview with the Mirror, they explained that the life and training of a real freestyler is so focused on improving their footballing tricks, that Ronaldo simply wouldn't be able to cut it against the pros.

Wingrove said: "He wouldn't stand a chance. Ronaldo practises his freestyle freely, these guys practise seven hours a day to be in professional tournaments.

"It all comes down to how much time you would dedicate to the sport. Obviously, Ronaldo can't dedicate that time - there's no knowing how good he would be if he did.

Wingrove added that Ronaldo's worldwide fame would mean that he would win on popularity alone, saying: "He would win hands down through a public vote."

He also admitted that putting the freestylers in an 11-a-side match would leave them in a similar position, adding: "if you put all the players on a pitch, they would be just as far away from Ronaldo."
