Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has said Oasis are a “better band” than legendary quartet The Beatles.
Cristiano, 24, recently transfered from Manchester United to Real Madrid and he admitted he will miss the band’s music after moving to Spain.
He said: “Liverpool have The Beatles and Manchester have Oasis. I think we [Manchester] have the better band. I have all the Oasis albums but my favourite track by far is Champagne Supernova.
“It’s an absolute classic. One thing I will miss about Manchester is Oasis. I will be honest, I didn’t even know who they were when I first arrived in Manchester, but you can’t live there long without knowing who they are.
“The lads in the dressing room loved them, especially the English boys. When I came to England I was into my techno, but I think Oasis are one of my favourite bands now.”
Cristiano admitted it doesn’t bother him that the band’s lead stars Noel and Liam Gallagher are Manchester City fans.
He said: “Nobody is perfect ? and you have to say they do make quality music. I saw them around town a couple of times but never spoke to them.
“They didn’t look that approachable but sometimes these artistic types are like that. I am sure they are very nice. I know they are touring at the moment but I have not been able to catch them.
“Perhaps I could invite them to a Madrid v Barcelona match and they could put on a little private concert in Madrid? I like their accent ? a real Manc accent.”
