Cristiano Ronaldo has praised departing Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, saying it was an honour to have played against him.

Ronaldo played against Gerrard regularly for Manchester United before joining Read Madrid in 2009, and the pair came face-to-face for the final time earlier this season in the Champions League.

Now the three-times Ballon d’Or winner has paid tribute to Gerrard in this short clip from Liverpool FC’s YouTube channel.
