He could play-make (20+ goals & 20 assists in ‘03), had crazy pace, do it on the wing and won at international level. So I don’t think we can diminish one in favour of the other.

    You have to decide who is the greatest goal scorer from the 21st century. First you say Messi, couple minutes later you say Ronaldo...
    Ashley Cole instead of Marcelo is just laughable and personally, I would put Cannavaro (or Nesta, although he was a more elegant, technical and tall CB, he had many injuries. Cannavaro was always more consistent and was the face of Italy's 06 wc win) instead of Puyol.

I thought of this after remembering Gary Neville saying the goalkeeper of Manchester United is the world's most scrutinized position, but is it? What about the striker of Real Madrid? What about if a team wins the World Cup then they enter the next World Cup 4 years later... surely the star of the previous World Cup winning team would have a bit of pressure on his shoulders? What about players that simply cost an insane amount like Neymar to PSG in 2019? It could cover a lot of variables which is why you should make the video! All time most scrutinized positions, club or country, any year, any player age etc. It would be a fascinating video anyway.

Only Buffon didn't win the Champions League but won the C3. And 4 played for PSG but let's not mention that except for Ronaldinho 😂I wanted to have a little fun (yes) so I counted the trophies: Buffon 29, Lahm 22, Ramos 29, Puyol 23, Cole 16 (clearly a weak link here, only 16 trophies??), Busquets 35, Xavi 32 (player) and 9 (manager), Ronaldinho 13 (ouch), CR7 34, Messi 44 and Suarez 23. 300 trophies, obvisously a not very interesting metric since we have no context.

    I would probably get a lot of shit for this, and it is weird to say that about a player who was for 2 years the best player on the planet and had magic at his feet, but Ronaldinho was a bit overrated. For starters, he was a forward, so favoring him over central midfield magicians like Modric and Iniesta is off to begin with. Problem is for me they should be ahead of him anyway. Instead Modric, a Ballon D'Or winner, 5 times CL champion and still a magician at 38, is not even on the second tier list...
    Ronaldinho was at his absolute best for 4 years. In 2002 WC he was very good, but besides that goal against England he was completely overshadowed by Ronaldo. In PSG he was brilliant, but not in a way that carried PSG anywhere. In Barca he was amazing for 4 years, but even then he didn't actually lead Brazil. From 2008 (age 28) onwards he gradually became a shadow of his former self.
    Again, there's no denying he was the best in the world at some point and that he's one of the best players of all time, but he has a place in this squad it's instead of Suarez.
