Messi already broke 90% of any possible record until age 25, but stats and trophies don't fully reflect a footballer's value. Messi is considered by a huge majority of football professionals the best time ever, because he is simply the best ever. Not only that he surpasses any footballer in history in any individual aspect of the game (creativity, smarts, talent, finishing, passing, touch etc) but he is like that since he started playing and nobody was ever able to find an antidote. Ronaldo da Lima was godly for only 1-2 seasons, then he was "learned" and remained "just" world class. Ronaldinho lasted in beast-mode for a season at most. Maradona, 1-2 seasons. Pelle was never godly, he was just more athletic and intelligent that the hillbillies in his generation. Messi is in "god mode" since 10-11 years and his worst 1-2 seasons were "world class" and connected to trials, injuries etc. After holding 4 consecutive Balon D'ors at 23 years... what more could possibly motivate you. It's a wonder he has the mood to kick a football anymore.
apart from the fact that in this era defenders are no longer allowed to tackle,put messi in an earlier era he gets a broken leg in the first 10 mins,pele,maradona and the rest did it when it was a real sport,not this new pussy version
MtheW Easy. Individual impact in a match. Average rating, success rate of every action etc. I honestly am amazed on how fanatic people can be, accuding of subjectivism even though we are talking on numbers, while their whole demonstrations are based on metaphors and hyperboles :) My eyes (mine, and almost everyones in this domain from Guardiola to Capello and from Terry to Henry etc)and the numbers reflect exactly what we see. fivethirtyeight.com/features/lionel-messi-is-impossible/ Read carefully the numbers and maybe you understand. Probably not :)
ridiculous Are not allowed to tackle.. are you talking about volley, because I don't understand. Defenders nowadayd are flawless athletes and the sport is tougher than always. Messi received even kicks in the head, was stepped on the stomach, ankle on the knee without the oponent being seen. And we are talking about season 2016 now. In the CA final Messi was man marked and attacked by 6-7 oponents. Neymar just got his head cracked. Game speed literally tripled in the last 20 years..Wtf are you people talking about, it is amazing how people that ignorant can be that vocal.
Johnstone was excellent little player but well short of top 20, sorry. Still, it's good that players not so well known beyond their own countries are given a boost
George Best. No 1. Did it on mud heaps against the most brutal defenders, never dived or looked for fouls, zero protection from useless referees. Pele, was unbelievable also..not a cheat and honourable man.
Sam Elliott if his touch isn't the most refined touch then I want to know how many of those players could knock a ball off the crossbar four times in a row without it touching the ground
I totally agree with you my friend Ronaldinho is just a magician. He was the most naturally gifted player and in my eyes the best footballer ever played.
panagiotis theocharis IF you think Zlatan not top 10 you should whatch Zlatan top 10 goals and IF you find someone with sicker goals then you can comeback and Ronaldinho is Also in top 10
Imo, this should be the list: 1) MESSI 2) PELE 3) CRUYFF 4) MARADONA 5) RONALDO (Brazilian) 6) GEORGE BEST 7) BECKENBAUER 8) VAN BASTEN 9) DI STEFANO 10) RONALDINHO Honorable Mention: Zidane, Cristiano Ronaldo, Xavi, Iniesta, Scholes, etc.
Messi the number 5 of the ranking... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Are you kidding me?? Messi is nowadays the best player ever for a lot of people and i think neither have seen a player as good as him. And where is Ronaldinho??? He could be perfectly in the same possition as zidane or ronaldo nazario... and he doesnt appear in the list. So commercial list in my oponion.
Thanks for making the video. Very difficult to please everyone. All of them are great players. What is probably undisputed today January 2023 are the following: 5) J. Cruyff, 4) Alfredo Di Stéfano, 3) Diego Maradona, 2) Lionel Messi, 1) Pele. Very Hard to choose the next 5. I give you a list to show the reason for this great difficulty: Beckenbauer, Garrincha, Best, Kempes, Ronaldo, Zico, Ronaldhino, Platini, Zidane, C.

Perhaps half of the above are not the players 6 to 10 but surely among the 25 best players of all time. There are other great players left out. What do you think?
My own list: 1. Puskás 2. Zlatan 3. Thierry Henry 4. Ronaldo (Brazilian) 5. Ronaldinho 6. Totti 7. Pirlo 8. Xavi 9. Schmeichel (the older) 10. Oliver Khan Another GREAT players: Maradona, Pelé, Lahm, Beckenbauer, Zidane, Higuita, Drogba, and Buffon...
Something people need to understand is that just because Messi and CR7 are arguably the best players still currently playing, that doesn't mean they're the best players of all time. Yes, they're amazing, but when you have such players as Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Best and Beckenbauer, it's really no surprise that Messi and CR7 are no higher on the list. And also, Scoring goals isn't everything. Even though they don't get as much attention as strikers, Defenders, Midfielders and even Goalies can be just as Important.

SKA32 Maradona is so overrated he got so shit after a few years and was so inconsistent ronaldo deserves to be in there otherwise I agree with your list.
+ThePOKEMaster you cant say over rate to a player who has fucked all scorer records and is still playing football nowadays with 27 years old. I havent seen maradona or pele but for me messi with no doubt is best player ive ever seen in my life and i also could understand why is best ever for a lot of people. I couldnt imagine a football player in the past better than messi.
Firstly I feel that you are really confused and I dont think you have been watching football maybe you watching golf. 1. Messi 2. Christiano Ronaldo 3.Pele 4.Diego Maradona 5.Johan Cruyff 6.Zidane 7.Ronaldinho 8.Ronaldo 9.George best 10. Zico

U totally mucked up the top 5 Really!! Messi 5th and maradona 2nd swap them two around then swap pele for messi Messi is the best ever player to live Also WHERE THE HELL IS RONALDINIHO
Rappin Devour no arguments? then you are the one who is stupid dude lol, was dificult to choose who is the best between beckenbauer, zidane and cr7, but these 3 are clearly above r9
more talented doesnt mean best player, fabio paim was more talented than cr7, and the best profissional team he had in his carreer was a second division portuguese team lol, r9 wasn t so consistent as cr7, r9 adding the best years was 3/4 years at his best, cr7 is already at 10 years at his best counting more
Rappin Devour any position in la liga is better than premier league, just 3 good teams? lets see place vs same place, 3rd valencia vs arsena = balanced game, sevilha > totenham, villareal vs liverpool, ( liverpool right now is actually pretty bad) so balanced game, athletic bilbao > southampton, and we could go on, every position or almost every position in la liga is better than the same positoon of premier league so is stupid what you are saying
Rappin Devour i would say that valencia is better than arsenal lol and man united isnt that better than sevilha, man united not even in europe was, and sevilha won the europa league so is a litle stupid saying that man united is better than sevilha
+Mohammed Fanoos You are so right about Ronaldo fenomeno but he isn't the best, he got injured poor him though, but that doesnt matter cause messi and ronaldo crush him My top 5: 1 Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro 2 Lionel Messi 3 Ronaldo Nazario de Lima 4 Zinedine Zidane 5 Maradonna
+Mohammed Fanoos In Brazil i remenber that Ronaldo was the first player that the media, even the old guys, consider (seriously) capable to reach Pele. They were similar: strong, had a incredible skill, inteligence and score a lot. But Ronaldo injury, like you said, changed his "destiny". That's why Pele still the best.
modern football is not like in the old time, there is so much tactic in the defense, in the midfield and as the goal its not as.easy as before to scored goal, I seriously not think that all thos old legends could have done what they done in modern football like ronaldinho,zidane and messi does
maybe you are forgetting that all of them were stars in their era with their tactics at the moment that they play , personally I think any of them would shine at any point of time, no matter if they have more cameras/managers, they all had quality something that's hard to find in any part of the world!
Could messey and those guys do as well with players trying to break there legs and rough house tactics that you can not do today? Can they be as good on shity bumby muddy pitches? With a shity old leather ball than you can't control like the balls now? Theres a flip side to every coin. Forget about all modern mythology you here on the internet. newer Isent always better. Arguments can be made both ways when it comes to football. I get what your saying but these things can be asked both ways
back in time there wasnt that deffensive tactics, but that bone crusher tackles were allowed then. first time i saw 70s brazil at world cup against uruguay or romania i was scared of pele could get a broen leg, even when i knew that wasn´t going to happen. that counts too.
Maradona the best; his skills, stamina, running, dribbling, flexibility, passing, and strength was unmatched ... He is the Boss .... Please see all his videos before making unnecessary comments.......... In no way Pele can compete with Maradona ... Pele presence was more on the opponents goal post and bit of dribble and making a goal is no big deal ..... The only people I see close are Messi and Christiano Ronaldo. ... but they have to prove a lot ... Maradona's exceptional vision, passing, ball control, dribbling skills, speed, reflexes and thinking time was combined with his small size (he was 5'5", or 1.65m) giving him a low center of gravity which allowed him to be more maneuverable than most other football players; he would often dribble past multiple opposing players on a run. His presence on the pitch had a great effect on his team's general performance, while he would often be singled out by the opposition. Maradona a precocious talent ... Please see all videos and make a comment
I agree Maradona was awesome in many ways. But the game was slower back then. If i have to give a vote who was the best ever it goes to Ronaldo 9. The same vote comes from Mourinho, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Capello, Kaka, Benzema and others.
The legends 1. Pelé 2. Diego Maradona 3. Johann Cruyff 4. Fëring Puskas 5. Michel Platini 6. Franz Beckenbauer 7. Bob Charlton 8. Eusébio 9. Zico 10. Lionel Messi
A lot of flaws in this ranking. Beckenbauer not 4. more around 8. Messi not 5, he is 1 or 2. Pele is 3. Where is Ronaldinho? he should hover around 9-10.
actually i forgot zico but anyway i don't think messi can be in a top 10 of football best player , he's so much skilled but these ones i named are from another planet
Ronaldinho deserves a spot in the top ten, Maradona #1 in the field, but everyone put him below cause his personal affairs- but no one has been able to play like him-
so you think ppl are stupid because they don't follow your same conclusions... from my perspective you are the real stupid- there hasn't been a player that shines as Diego did- his was recognized as the best by journalist but his personal affairs just make him not good role model, but as a player he was the best!
Top 20 for me 1. Pelé 🇧🇷 2. Messi 🇦🇷 3. Maradona 🇦🇷 4. Cruyff 🇳🇱 5. Di Stefano 🇦🇷🇪🇸🇨🇴 6. CR7 🇵🇹 7. Garrincha 🇧🇷 8. Puskas 🇭🇺 9. Ronaldo 🇧🇷 10. Ronaldinho 🇧🇷 11. Platini 🇫🇷 12. Zidane 🇫🇷 13.

Pelé 1 Ronaldo Lima You can debate how much you want THE only Reason why now penaldo is better than Messhit is because his lucky euros and probably THE ballon dor this year, if it was for me they both wouldnt even be in this list
Mr. Craze Why? There is no reason for that.. In my opinion Messi is the best ever already. And no I am not a Messi or Barcelona fan. In fact I like Ronaldo more but I admit that Messi is better.
The top 5 is so wrong.Let me prove it to You. 1.Lionel Messi 2.Cristiano Ronaldo 3.Pele 4.Ronaldinho(and also why didn't You put him in this video?) 5.Johann Cruyff
10. Farhad Majidi 9. Franz Beckenbauer 8. Cristiano Ronaldo 7. Ronaldinho 6. Johann Cruyff 5. Ronaldo 4. Zinedine Zidane 3. Lionel Messi 2. Diego Maradona 1. Pele My oppinion
i THINK SO BUT CRUIJFF AND DE STEFAN ARE UP THERE IN MY TOP TEN FOR SHORE THEY WERE TRULY GREAT PLAYERS IN HISTORY BUT PERIOD UNDER PARAGRAPH MESSI IS THE BEST EVER MES.QUE.UN.C.L.B.B.
Cristian Curridor well for you maybe. But for most people including pro footballers and legends, Messi is way up there. Even the best of all time, they say. So you can stop crying now. 😂😂😂
John Campbell zidane 3 because he could single handedly carry his team.. and he could easily dominate any other player as he proved in final vs brazil..ripped apart entire brazillian star studded team.. messi can't do that..
I bet Messi can not score more than 10 goal in his carrer if he was in serei a But we can see football greats like ronaldo zidane baggio marodona and now cr7 playing in seria Which messi can never think Messi is nothing without his team mates What he did for for Argentina as we know Argentina was a football giant before messi and messi era just proved to be argentina worst era 0 tropies bet he could not win a single ballondor without xavi and inesta duo even if i played played with xavi and inesta duo i would win ballon dor He is a bitch outside barcelona if he played outside barcelona i bet he would not be bigger than 2nd class strikers of overall like 87 88
I'm only choosing players that I've seen play in my lifetime .. so no Pele , Maradona , platini or Van Basten : 1. Ronaldo (brazilian ) 2. Paolo Maldini 3. Zidane 4. Ronaldinho 5. Gigi Buffon 6. Messi 7. Alessandro Nesta 8. Kaka 9. Del piero 10. Tierry Henry
You cannot have a top 20 Greatest Football Players of all time without Ferenc Puskas
He has an award named after him

Messi already broke 90% of any possible record until age 25, but stats and trophies don't fully reflect a footballer's value. Messi is considered by a huge majority of football professionals the best time ever, because he is simply the best ever. Not only that he surpasses any footballer in history in any individual aspect of the game (creativity, smarts, talent, finishing, passing, touch etc) but he is like that since he started playing and nobody was ever able to find an antidote. Ronaldo da Lima was godly for only 1-2 seasons, then he was "learned" and remained "just" world class. Ronaldinho lasted in beast-mode for a season at most. Maradona, 1-2 seasons. Pelle was never godly, he was just more athletic and intelligent that the hillbillies in his generation. Messi is in "god mode" since 10-11 years and his worst 1-2 seasons were "world class" and connected to trials, injuries etc. After holding 4 consecutive Balon D'ors at 23 years... what more could possibly motivate you. It's a wonder he has the mood to kick a football anymore.
No one could play like the god,Maradona
I completly agree. Messi has done more facts than Pele' in a hera 100 times more harder.
apart from the fact that in this era defenders are no longer allowed to tackle,put messi in an earlier era he gets a broken leg in the first 10 mins,pele,maradona and the rest did it when it was a real sport,not this new pussy version

WTF?! Ronaldinho is not here?!
In my eyes Ronaldinho was the best footballer when he was in Barça, even tho i'm a Madrid fan.
Viper Clutch He was definitely the most entertaining footballer to ever set foot on the pitch, I would not put him in the top 20
Dude, Ronaldinho bro, he's a magician as a footballer, he's truly amazing!!

I totally agree with you my friend Ronaldinho is just a magician. He was the most naturally gifted player and in my eyes the best footballer ever played.

Something people need to understand is that just because Messi and CR7 are arguably the best players still currently playing, that doesn't mean they're the best players of all time. Yes, they're amazing, but when you have such players as Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Best and Beckenbauer, it's really no surprise that Messi and CR7 are no higher on the list. And also, Scoring goals isn't everything. Even though they don't get as much attention as strikers, Defenders, Midfielders and even Goalies can be just as Important.
Nah bruv, Messi and CR7 are the two best of all time

Exciting but only top 30, if being generous. He underachieved.
Bobby Charlton>>>>>
@@alessiodelcastillo1613 dont compare them they are both great and perfect as the holy trinity with denis law
1. Maradona by millions of miles
2. Messi
3. Pelle
Don't know what soccer is but, these look like football stars to me.
1: Messi 2: Pelé 3: Cruijff , Maradona shouldn't be in here because he used drugs to play better
joep kroes No fucking way
joep kroes He just took drugs.They didn't make him play them better they made him play like dope
1:pelè 2:maradona 3:johan cruijff ik weet niet wat jij wil maar eehh...
en wat weet jij er van efje
Coke is not a performance enhancing drug quite the contrary. And that was only one world cup
1- messi
2- maradona
3- pele
4- j.cruyff
5- c.ronaldo
6-beckenbuaer
7- zinedine zidane
8-eusebio
9-ronaldo r9
10- garrincha
Rappin Devour
no arguments? then you are the one who is stupid dude lol, was dificult to choose who is the best between beckenbauer, zidane and cr7, but these 3 are clearly above r9
more talented doesnt mean best player, fabio paim was more talented than cr7, and the best profissional team he had in his carreer was a second division portuguese team lol, r9 wasn t so consistent as cr7, r9 adding the best years was 3/4 years at his best, cr7 is already at 10 years at his best counting more
Rappin Devour shitty league? is the best league in whole world, shitty defenders? defensive tactics are much better now than in r9 time lol
Rappin Devour any position in la liga is better than premier league, just 3 good teams? lets see place vs same place, 3rd valencia vs arsena = balanced game, sevilha > totenham, villareal vs liverpool, ( liverpool right now is actually pretty bad) so balanced game, athletic bilbao > southampton, and we could go on, every position or almost every position in la liga is better than the same positoon of premier league so is stupid what you are saying
Rappin Devour
i would say that valencia is better than arsenal lol and man united isnt that better than sevilha, man united not even in europe was, and sevilha won the europa league so is a litle stupid saying that man united is better than sevilha
George Best is top 3
Maradona - 1, Messi - 2, Christina Ronaldo - 3 ..... then others
It must be
1 Maradona
2 Zidane
3 Ronaldo
4 Henry
5 Raul
6 Di Stefano
7 Carlos
8 Cassilas
9 Maldini
10 Cruyff
Ahmed Farooq did you forget Pele? He should be 1
The way I see it:
- Ronaldo De Lima
- Messi
- Zidan
- Ronaldinho
- Pele
Ronaldo de lima, if he never got injured, he would be by far far the best.
+Mohammed Fanoos You are so right about Ronaldo fenomeno but he isn't the best, he got injured poor him though, but that doesnt matter cause messi and ronaldo crush him
My top 5:
1 Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro
2 Lionel Messi
3 Ronaldo Nazario de Lima
4 Zinedine Zidane
5 Maradonna
+Mohammed Fanoos In Brazil i remenber that Ronaldo was the first player that the media, even the old guys, consider (seriously) capable to reach Pele. They were similar: strong, had a incredible skill, inteligence and score a lot. But Ronaldo injury, like you said, changed his "destiny". That's why Pele still the best.
@@MFanooos I like him sooo much,but i diagree with that
Tu es de maroc
Messi is not better than ronaldo fenomeno and Johan cruyff and cr7 Maradona is the best player in the history
messi is the worlds best player
Yasss! 🙌
maradona,messi,ronaldo,zidane
1. Kratos
2. Mike Tyson
3. Jackie Chan
4. Tiger Woods
5. Michael Jordan
Messi is the best
I think George Best is the best footballer that never came all the way to the world cup!
yea sad bcuz at that time nothern ireland not even qualified
¿And Elías Figueroa, Ronaldinho, Juan Schiaffino, Romario, Puskás, etc?
This is in the best order I've ever seen on youtube
I was thinking the same, but Messi is 3
Nice list!
Gerd Muller shouldn't be in top 20 and you should include Ferenc Puskas instead.
Also, Zico should be in top 10 ahead of Platini.
Puskas, deadliest striker of the 60s
@@alessiodelcastillo1613 Agree with u, for me, in the 80's, it was Maradona/Zico/Platini, in that order
@@louis490 Maradona and Platini weren't strikers.
@@alessiodelcastillo1613 nor Zico, he was an Attacking Midfilder, but it's true he played closer to the goal
This list is good but it should include Ronaldinho instead of Marco van Basten and Messi and cruijff should be swapped
Logan Hawke van basten is vety underrated, in my opinion he is much better than ronaldinho
Lol no. Messi is the best. He should be swapped with Pele. And cruyff should be top 4.
modern football is not like in the old time, there is so much tactic in the defense, in the midfield and as the goal its not as.easy as before to scored goal, I seriously not think that all thos old legends could have done what they done in modern football like ronaldinho,zidane and messi does
maybe you are forgetting that all of them were stars in their era with their tactics at the moment that they play , personally I think any of them would shine at any point of time, no matter if they have more cameras/managers, they all had quality something that's hard to find in any part of the world!
Could messey and those guys do as well with players trying to break there legs and rough house tactics that you can not do today? Can they be as good on shity bumby muddy pitches? With a shity old leather ball than you can't control like the balls now? Theres a flip side to every coin. Forget about all modern mythology you here on the internet. newer Isent always better. Arguments can be made both ways when it comes to football. I get what your saying but these things can be asked both ways
back in time there wasnt that deffensive tactics, but that bone crusher tackles were allowed then. first time i saw 70s brazil at world cup against uruguay or romania i was scared of pele could get a broen leg, even when i knew that wasn´t going to happen. that counts too.
Maradona the best; his skills, stamina, running, dribbling, flexibility, passing, and strength was unmatched ... He is the Boss .... Please see all his videos before making unnecessary comments.......... In no way Pele can compete with Maradona ... Pele presence was more on the opponents goal post and bit of dribble and making a goal is no big deal ..... The only people I see close are Messi and Christiano Ronaldo. ... but they have to prove a lot ... Maradona's exceptional vision, passing, ball control, dribbling skills, speed, reflexes and thinking time was combined with his small size (he was 5'5", or 1.65m) giving him a low center of gravity which allowed him to be more maneuverable than most other football players; he would often dribble past multiple opposing players on a run. His presence on the pitch had a great effect on his team's general performance, while he would often be singled out by the opposition. Maradona a precocious talent ... Please see all videos and make a comment
I agree Maradona was awesome in many ways. But the game was slower back then. If i have to give a vote who was the best ever it goes to Ronaldo 9. The same vote comes from Mourinho, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Capello, Kaka, Benzema and others.
probably you are Argentinean to say such bullshit hahahaahha
1.maradona 2.Pele ./ also : socrates? rivelino?georges weah? dino zoff?jean marie pfaff?karl-heinz rummenigge?Rudi Krol? Blokhine ?Mario Kempes?Osvaldo Ardiles?...

A lot of flaws in this ranking. Beckenbauer not 4. more around 8. Messi not 5, he is 1 or 2. Pele is 3. Where is Ronaldinho? he should hover around 9-10.
messi should be top shit
Pelé wins 3 World cups and make 1280 gols. ready history. read history

WHAT U SMOKING NO MESSI

la persona orribile Dude messi is the best in history period under paragraph u won't ever see anyone like messi ever he is 1 in a billion.

Why is Ronaldinho not this list you put the worst players and you didint put Ronaldinho
Messi is the best of all the best because he is better than the best.
being a fan of messi doesnt make him the best
R9 is way better
Ronaldinho deserves a spot in the top ten, Maradona #1 in the field, but everyone put him below cause his personal affairs- but no one has been able to play like him-
Messi is better
- in your head -
+BudAlcor20 L in everyone's head messi is better. People who think otherwise are stupid
Ronaldinho deserves a spot indeed but messi is the best in history
so you think ppl are stupid because they don't follow your same conclusions... from my perspective you are the real stupid- there hasn't been a player that shines as Diego did- his was recognized as the best by journalist but his personal affairs just make him not good role model, but as a player he was the best!
LOL Messi5....:))

Lionel Messi 3? Nope.. for me he isn't better then Di Stefano/Cruyff ...
i THINK SO BUT CRUIJFF AND DE STEFAN ARE UP THERE IN MY TOP TEN FOR SHORE THEY WERE TRULY GREAT PLAYERS IN HISTORY BUT PERIOD UNDER PARAGRAPH MESSI IS THE BEST EVER MES.QUE.UN.C.L.B.B.
Cristian Curridor well for you maybe. But for most people including pro footballers and legends, Messi is way up there. Even the best of all time, they say. So you can stop crying now. 😂😂😂
John Campbell zidane 3 because he could single handedly carry his team.. and he could easily dominate any other player as he proved in final vs brazil..ripped apart entire brazillian star studded team.. messi can't do that..
Lewis Campbell I agree
WHAT MESSI IS JUST BETTER THAN BERGKAMP
What? You don't make sense. 😂😂😂
1-maradona
2-Ronalod (barazil)
3-zidane
So Sir Bobby Charlton and Ferenc Puskas are not good enough for the top 20 ?
And ronaldinho
WHERE IS ZLATAN
And Muhammed Ali.
+Nabillias and michael jordan ?
maddi jane AND STEVEN GERRARD LFC
absolutely neccessary in a top 50.
Top 100
messi should be 1 u don't know football
You're a fucking idiot
I bet Messi can not score more than 10 goal in his carrer if he was in serei a
But we can see football greats like ronaldo zidane baggio marodona and now cr7 playing in seria
Which messi can never think
Messi is nothing without his team mates
What he did for for Argentina as we know Argentina was a football giant before messi and messi era just proved to be argentina worst era 0 tropies
bet he could not win a single ballondor without xavi and inesta duo even if i played played with xavi and inesta duo i would win ballon dor
He is a bitch outside barcelona if he played outside barcelona i bet he would not be bigger than 2nd class strikers of overall like 87 88
I'm only choosing players that I've seen play in my lifetime .. so no Pele , Maradona , platini or Van Basten :
1. Ronaldo (brazilian )
2. Paolo Maldini
3. Zidane
4. Ronaldinho
5. Gigi Buffon
6. Messi
7. Alessandro Nesta
8. Kaka
9. Del piero
10. Tierry Henry
Disagree
Messi at the bottom half? Disrespectful
Where is Ronaldinhoo??😤😤
Should add Dutch Master, Dennis Bergkamp in the list.
He deserves to be mentioned at least.
Gorge best number one #legend
