Absolutely true. The level he hit from around 96-99 was simply out of this world. At Inter, he was playing a different game out there against some of the best defenders ever. This Y a time when you had actual defenders, none of this playing out of the back. He made them all look second rate at times in the toughest league in Europe
@@comebackfromdebt4834 Messi has greater numbers, but when it comes to skills I have never seen a player like R9. Even people who didin't watch or understand football would claim " this guy is good!" only watching some minutes.

Watching him gives me chills down to my spine. He had no weakness, dribbles effortlessly, goes through the defense, and they all fall like a pack of cards. An attacker that embodies his role through and through. Makes sense while he was injured frequently, he made the best of them look like amateur, as he glides past. Imagine the embarrassment they had to face. He’s incredibly talented and a thorough professional. someone said “they had to injure him, just to keep up with him”. In my opinion there’s no better player. He’s the best of the bests(El phenomenon).
As someone old enough to actually witness his games(on tv of course) yes that was true, many teams actually would rather take the red card and take Ronaldo out of the game and for the longer the better. In my opinion he was the goat of football, a rare talent that shows up very rarely.

No one has come close to him in terms of dribbling.
I grew up watching him and i developed my skills based on his style. And you’re absolutely right. The joy of going between in players and coming out with the ball is unparalleled.
It’s one of the things that made him so dangerous. He’d run straight at you, full tilt, ball glued to his feet, make the defender pick a side. And once you did, he was gone, looking for the next defender to make look like an idiot, or burying it past the keeper
I agree about the ending, but in my opinion it is still the best in history. Don't forget that he played in a time when the defenders were killers and tried to break your legs, and he still proved that his skills outweighed them and wasted a lot.

Can't believe this is the first time I'm watching the highlights behind the legend, from a Striker..this is absolutely insane 😤🤲🏽 even modern wingers aren't this good at dribbling
he was the best ever, best technique, moves that nobody did before, fast as ferrari, able to score with both legs and head, and i remember once he scored with a shoulder or chest, he didnt need to know what will happen because based on situation he made a brand new move that thrilled everybody in the stands and those watching it on the tv, never simulated, never filmed a foul, was strong enough, i really dont know why everybody always writes before injuries and after injuries and this shits. just look how he played after injuries in WC2002 and real madrid. it makes no sense to divide the career, for me he absolutely has been the best football player ever to play football. even pele or maradona or others were not that good. not able to make special moves he did and etc... Amen
This video doesn't show it but he was also excellent with headers. He revolutionized what it means to be a number 9. Guys like Nazario are the reason I love football even now. Unreal footballer
I don’t care what anyone else says this is the greatest player of all time, and without all his injuries he’d be so far out front by miles, oh yeah and that first riddem is greazzy
Ronaldo was the absolute beast of football. Mainly in Cups for Brazil. If it weren't for the shameful Brazil of 2014 that stained the legacy of the greatest National Team, He would still be the greatest scorer in World Cups
Yes, getting defeated 7:1 on the semi-final, in the biggest tournament on the planet in their home ground being the greatest footballing nation itself, nothing can be more humiliating than that loss. I was so mad watching that on TV, we friends, family, neighbours were watching that together, in the night. Most were supporting Germany since they were like no neymar, so brasil will lose easily and I was among the few strongly supporting Brazil. Everyone trolled me after that. I didn't go to school for a week, I quarantined myself in my home.
I watched football from his days, Maradona, Messi and CRonaldo; and have absolutely no hesitation in saying had this guy stayed free of injuries, he would have gone down as GOAT. Incredible talent, better dribbler than Maradona, what an acceleration, what power! He's a strong bull who has the magical touch.
One thing that separates his highlight from the rest of the world is that everytime he starts dribbling, there will be a couple of defenders that end up falling on the floor
Every player we get nowadays are generic shitty outside wingers. The last true entertainer after Messi/CR7 was Neymar but he threw his career away (can't blame him).
Se for fazer um levantamento do jogador que mais deixou marcador no chão com certeza Ronaldo vai tá no top 1. Ele era muito rápido e desconcertante. Aí só parava derrubando e o difícil era conseguir encostar nele. O maior de todos os tempos pós pele. Genial, brilhante. Parabéns pelo vídeo. Viva R9. O terror de qualquer time, campeão do mundo, melhor jogador mundo e tudo isso limitado pelas lesões talvez pelo ritmo absurdo que ele impunha aos lances.
Quest’uomo era un 9, un 11, un 7 ed anche un 10. L’incarnazione dell’attacco per eccellenza. L’abilità nell’unire un dribbling fulmineo ad un accelerazione allucinante un mix letale. Mi auguro di vederlo in futuro un giocatore che si avvicini un minimo a quel che é stato costui.
Vídeo espetacular ! Ronaldo revolucionou o futebol com suas jogadas geniais, seus dribles extraordinário, sua velocidade. O cara jogou demais e era tudo natural dele, não foi criado em laboratório, Ronaldo Fenômeno foi o cara !
Ronaldo el fenómeno el 1 del mundo y de todos los tiempos ví jugar a todos menos a pele, pero ví sus videos. Pero Ronaldo nazario lejos el mejor no me perdí ni un partido de el.
Ragazzini...guardate bene questo video essendo obiettivi... c'è mai stato un calciatore spettacolare, devastante e incredibile come Ronaldo il Fenomeno?
@@neymagichd5288 Il Fenomeno, anche con gli infortuni è stato il più grande di tutti...! Senza gli infortuni sarebbe stato un qualcosa fuori da ogni immaginazione!!
Por eso lo bautizaron el fenómeno, era como algo fabricado para el futbol, ningun jugador en la historia ha tenido el talento de él, el fenómeno es lo mas espectacular que he visto, messi y cr7 que agradezcan a Dios las lesiones de el fenómeno porque si no serian otros mas del montón, ronaldo hasta despues de esa lesion sale y gana el mundial y luego se va al madrid a ser el mejor, ningún otro jugador es capaz de hacer eso punto final. Pido a Dios otro fenómeno, porque ese señor si que desperto todo tipo de emociones e incluso hizo que personas que no les gustaba el futbol se enamoran de su juego y lo vieran
When really good footballers didn't have social media overhype. Ronaldo and Messi are good but social plays advantage to their fame... These guys were some really good players but unfortunately there was not much social media back then
a lot of people have R9 as their goat. Messi and CR7 have had longer careers, but any one that has seen all 3 play knows R9 at his peak was a better pure talent than both. Without injuries, there probably wouldn’t be a debate tbh.
@@Footballazz100%. He did it all. He could embarrass you with his dribbling or just flat out bully you physically. He was the complete striker and nobody will ever come close to his all round ability as a number 9
Messi is not even on the level of Zidane. So he is nowhere near the skill of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Maradona. There was not youtube back then, so Messi became more popular. However, the things Messi did, Maradona did more. Maradona was playing in a shitty Napoli and won the UEFA and Serie A twice. The defenders were trying to kill him every time. Ask any Argentinian who the best is. He won the World Cup by himself. Messi needed the corrupt Qatari officials to win and Di Maria. Messi is insane on the ball, but Maradona was a leader and a force of nature. He played coked up and still won. Imagine if he did a clean life and played with the players Messi had around him. Since Iniesta retired, he went downhill. the loss of 8-2 to Bayern, The Anfield choke in the 2019 CL, The Copa America chokes vs Chile. He always needed good players around him but Maradona didnt care.
When i asked my dad if r9 was better than messi and cr7 he said yes without thinking, i couldn’t believe it. Now that i watched this vid i see what he was talking about
Wooow. He is so mad talented I don’t think I have seen a player with his size,speed, dribbling and agility. He absolutely mad those defenders touch the earth
O melhor de todos os tempos! Existem pessoas únicas e com certeza Ronaldo Fenômeno foi único, o maior jogador de todos os mesmo sofrendo com lesões gravíssimas nos joelho foi o melhor de todos !
Growing up in the 90s and early 2000swith no internet, getting the chance to watch Brazil on the tv was rare. Only really got to see them in world cups, but when you did it was an experience. The yellow blue and white kit, the players and the way they played the game was magical. This man took it to another level. I was absolutely amazed by him and them Brazil teams, never felt like that about an international team since. Ronaldo, dunga, Denilson, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Cafu and Roberto Carlos. Nothing but pure talent and I’m glad I was around to see it. Brazil will never be the same again.
@@HENRYFORTICHORTEGA y muchos que no. Pero a varios no les entra en la cabeza que messi es por escándalo mejor que cristiano. Y se piensan que messi tiene el mismo nivel y en base a eso comparan. Cuando el mismo messi en regate está muy por encima de los 2.
Don’t think people realise just how fast he was. This is professional footballers he’s doing this to. Sitting down the best defenders in history. The only answer to him was the laws of physics as his speed and power and most significantly, how fast he changed direction, literally broke his body. His knee injuries were primarily caused by Osgood-Schlatter disease and his style of play which basically put so much stress on his knee tendons, they were literally ripped off his shin. Yet he has a highlight reel like this. Without question, the greatest striker we’ve ever seen.
Ronaldo and Ronaldinho were something else man! 2000-2010 football was amazing. Zidane, Henry, Del Piero, Totti, Zlatan, Kaka, Seedorf, Sheva, Crespo, Beckham, Villa, Etoo, Drogba, Torres, Gerrard, Maldini, R.Carlos, Nesta, Stam.... so many legends...
I get why Messi and Cristiano will always be considered much higher in the all time greatest debate, and have to appreciate what they've done for such a long period...But still if I had to pick the peak of any player and put them together in a time machine, to the eye Ronaldo Nazario just seems to be in a tier of his own..A touch above all others
Idk where you’re getting this “much higher” thing from…a lot of people have R9 as their goat. Messi and CR7 have had longer careers, but any one that has seen all 3 play knows R9 at his peak was a better pure talent than both. Without injuries, there probably wouldn’t be a debate tbh.
@@SARYM911 well recency bias will always kick in and the significance of history will always be undermined by the new generation. That’s just life…the stats mafia can’t even realize that it’s been way easier for everyone to score tons of goals the last 10 years or so, it wasn’t just CR7 and Messi. Yes they were the best so they did it more than their peers, but it is a different game than it was in the 90s and early 00s where scoring was more difficult
@@MA-go7ee hahaha not really…all the things Messi can do, most of the top tier footballers can do them. Messi just does it more frequently than everyone else. There are things Ronaldo did with the ball that Messi has never done
His best days were at Barcelona, where he was simply a freak of nature. Then, the national team, his skills, pace, and goals were unbelievable. Then his pre-injury time at Inter, where he showed the world's that he is simply above the rest. At Madrid, although clearly a yard off and a hint of being slight kilogram overweight, he was stil in cruise control. He played weighing 100kg at AC Milan and still notched up dome classic goals. His fitness was his weakness. Had he taken his fitness more seriously like how namesake Cristiano Ronaldo, he could've played in the world cup of 2010 in South Africa 🇿🇦....
@@neymagichd5288 Ronaldo is more beautifull to watch and never expect what he will do Messi is better with freekick and pass, but they are 2 great players . only Maradonna can did everything and play everywhere in football he can be pirlo with his long pass or xavi with his short pass and tikitaka he can be fast dribbler like messi or an elegant dribbler like Zidane and he can score beautifull head goals like CR7. he's a leader he make poor players very good . dont forget in messi area there is lot of cartoon teams and players in Liga and europe with refree protection best ptich best ball and best condition the area of maradona was very difficult with lot of top players everywhere just for exemple: check " Serie A 1988/89 Was Already A Super League" Maradonna was a king here not with grenada and getafe players
I don’t think todays fans realise the fear R9 picking up the ball 35 yards out had on world class defenders, cannavaro, nesta, maldini etc, non of them wanted to be left 1v1, he was strong, had unbelievable close control and lightning pace. And he was tough, football in the nineties teams had players who could dish out the rough stuff. He would of thrived in todays game
Ronaldo is probably the best striker of the modern era. His best year was with Barcelona, but when he arrived to Real Madrid and was around 100 kg of weight and he was still the best 9 of the Earth you have to admit that there's something special about that player.
The greatest player who ever played football, too bad he never won Champions league ☹ so sad because if he wasn't so badly injured he would won at least 3 of them with Inter, they were on paper the best team in Europe at that time and everyone thought they are the next champions, they even bought Christian Vieri for a record breaking €40 milion in summer 1999
I actually think that R9 was injured for most of, if not all of the matches where his team got eliminated from the UCL, at least in his prime anyway. Maybe he played one or two in his later years when he was already passed his best. I say this to say that if he wasn’t injured, he’d probably have at least 1UCL trophy…doesn’t matter tho, every player would trade all their UCL glory to achieve what he did in the World Cup
@@FootballazzEven in those 2 champions leagues with Real Madrid that they made the semi finals, he was injured the for the fixture. He did play the 2006 semi finals.
🇦🇷 Leo Messi: "Ronaldo was the best striker that I ever saw play. He's a phenomenon and his shooting was the best in history." 🇸🇪 Zlatan Ibrahimović: "Ronaldo doesn't play football. He was football. For me, he's the perfect player." 🇧🇷 Kaka: “The best player I have ever played with? That’s Ronaldo. I have seen Il Fenomeno do things that nobody else has ever done." 🇮🇹 Alessandro Nesta: “The worst experience I ever had was playing against Ronaldo, Ronaldo was simply unstoppable."
He was the reason for what I watched and played football so much. I used to love football so much and he was the reason for that. After him I never saw skill like that maybe a bit in Messi but not the same power and definently not the same love. R9 is best of all time for all who ever touch a ball of football.

Le dribble, la puissance, la vivacité, la finition! Il avait tout waouhh , il n'a pas volé le surnom de " phénomène"
@@jemelusiama85todo bien a mi tambien me encanta, pero mareando en el 1 vs 1 Messi claramente lo supera, messi tiene muchas jugadas dejando a 4 o cinco en el camino, te puede gustar mas el fenómeno, pero tampoco podes ser ciego

Can't believe this is the first time I'm watching the highlights behind the legend, from a Striker..this is absolutely insane 😤🤲🏽 even modern wingers aren't this good at dribbling
If you are a striker, You only need one player to study! That's how good he is.
he was the best ever, best technique, moves that nobody did before, fast as ferrari, able to score with both legs and head, and i remember once he scored with a shoulder or chest, he didnt need to know what will happen because based on situation he made a brand new move that thrilled everybody in the stands and those watching it on the tv, never simulated, never filmed a foul, was strong enough, i really dont know why everybody always writes before injuries and after injuries and this shits. just look how he played after injuries in WC2002 and real madrid. it makes no sense to divide the career, for me he absolutely has been the best football player ever to play football. even pele or maradona or others were not that good. not able to make special moves he did and etc... Amen
The power and skill this man had. Freakin unbelievable. Most talented player ever imo.
This video doesn't show it but he was also excellent with headers. He revolutionized what it means to be a number 9. Guys like Nazario are the reason I love football even now. Unreal footballer
I don’t care what anyone else says this is the greatest player of all time, and without all his injuries he’d be so far out front by miles, oh yeah and that first riddem is greazzy
Ronaldo was the absolute beast of football. Mainly in Cups for Brazil. If it weren't for the shameful Brazil of 2014 that stained the legacy of the greatest National Team, He would still be the greatest scorer in World Cups
Realmente Ronaldo foi o maior jogador da história. A seleção de 2014 humilhou nos brasileiros, uma vergonha
Yes, getting defeated 7:1 on the semi-final, in the biggest tournament on the planet in their home ground being the greatest footballing nation itself, nothing can be more humiliating than that loss. I was so mad watching that on TV, we friends, family, neighbours were watching that together, in the night. Most were supporting Germany since they were like no neymar, so brasil will lose easily and I was among the few strongly supporting Brazil. Everyone trolled me after that. I didn't go to school for a week, I quarantined myself in my home.
Manchou nada não.
1 mundial não vai manchar 5 títulos, jamais.
I watched football from his days, Maradona, Messi and CRonaldo; and have absolutely no hesitation in saying had this guy stayed free of injuries, he would have gone down as GOAT. Incredible talent, better dribbler than Maradona, what an acceleration, what power! He's a strong bull who has the magical touch.
Not a better dribbler than Maradona. Maradona faced way harder challenges and 10x tougher pitches. Maradona is the best ever
Pelé ?
@@OhanftblYour profile picture is literally Maradona. Enough clubbing, stop being a fanboy
he’s “Him” 🐐
So much fearlessness in Ronaldo's game. Every time, every time he straightens up and goes straight at the defence.
In hes prime,the best player of the history with diferencce
Greatest of all time.
yep, diffrent world like a ronaldo 🙂
I honestly dont like to compare...but frankly speaking i seriously think hes better than Messi
He’s definitely more talented than Messi but Messi is more consistent
I agree with you. He did much more with less and wayyy younger in tougher leagues and less understandable and tolerant managers.
Messi have more time, r9 in prime before injuree was The best of ALL time
Messi is more better when messi was young he surpassed Diego maradona
@@akashraghuvanshi-gp3xb😂
Absolute passion
One thing that separates his highlight from the rest of the world is that everytime he starts dribbling, there will be a couple of defenders that end up falling on the floor
This guy is the best dribbler in football history. Period.
My favorite footballer of all time
Football player like him doesn't exist anymore.
Today's players will either dive or search for someone to pass when they're cornered by 5 defenders😂
Indeed
Every player we get nowadays are generic shitty outside wingers.
The last true entertainer after Messi/CR7 was Neymar but he threw his career away (can't blame him).
Except Messi
this guy was one of the biggest divers ever so not sure what you are talking about
@@bryanleeyf87threw his career away?? Do you even comprehend what your typing or its just the old generic cr*p
Se for fazer um levantamento do jogador que mais deixou marcador no chão com certeza Ronaldo vai tá no top 1. Ele era muito rápido e desconcertante. Aí só parava derrubando e o difícil era conseguir encostar nele. O maior de todos os tempos pós pele. Genial, brilhante. Parabéns pelo vídeo. Viva R9. O terror de qualquer time, campeão do mundo, melhor jogador mundo e tudo isso limitado pelas lesões talvez pelo ritmo absurdo que ele impunha aos lances.
Skill - 99
Speed - 99

Best Striker Ever!!
Quest’uomo era un 9, un 11, un 7 ed anche un 10. L’incarnazione dell’attacco per eccellenza. L’abilità nell’unire un dribbling fulmineo ad un accelerazione allucinante un mix letale. Mi auguro di vederlo in futuro un giocatore che si avvicini un minimo a quel che é stato costui.
Vídeo espetacular ! Ronaldo revolucionou o futebol com suas jogadas geniais, seus dribles extraordinário, sua velocidade. O cara jogou demais e era tudo natural dele, não foi criado em laboratório, Ronaldo Fenômeno foi o cara !
Mai visto un giocatore con queste caratteristiche, numero uno al mondo, era un extraterrestre, pazzesco😳👍👏👏
Ronaldo el fenómeno el 1 del mundo y de todos los tiempos ví jugar a todos menos a pele, pero ví sus videos. Pero Ronaldo nazario lejos el mejor no me perdí ni un partido de el.
Ragazzini...guardate bene questo video essendo obiettivi... c'è mai stato un calciatore spettacolare, devastante e incredibile come Ronaldo il Fenomeno?

No auge sem lesões n tem pra ninguém Ronaldo o atacante mais completo da história.
Ele seria melhor do que todos se não fosse as leçoes
Por eso lo bautizaron el fenómeno, era como algo fabricado para el futbol, ningun jugador en la historia ha tenido el talento de él, el fenómeno es lo mas espectacular que he visto, messi y cr7 que agradezcan a Dios las lesiones de el fenómeno porque si no serian otros mas del montón, ronaldo hasta despues de esa lesion sale y gana el mundial y luego se va al madrid a ser el mejor, ningún otro jugador es capaz de hacer eso punto final. Pido a Dios otro fenómeno, porque ese señor si que desperto todo tipo de emociones e incluso hizo que personas que no les gustaba el futbol se enamoran de su juego y lo vieran
All them Cr7 fans out there... clueless... this guy everytime!! God mode
When really good footballers didn't have social media overhype. Ronaldo and Messi are good but social plays advantage to their fame... These guys were some really good players but unfortunately there was not much social media back then
Yes Ronaldo had it all. Skills, speed, strength, and the goal scoring. One of a kind. Too bad all those injuries
a lot of people have R9 as their goat. Messi and CR7 have had longer careers, but any one that has seen all 3 play knows R9 at his peak was a better pure talent than both. Without injuries, there probably wouldn’t be a debate tbh.
The fake Ronaldo (CR7) and that Argentine fraud are overhyped
@@Footballazz100%. He did it all. He could embarrass you with his dribbling or just flat out bully you physically. He was the complete striker and nobody will ever come close to his all round ability as a number 9
Messi is not even on the level of Zidane. So he is nowhere near the skill of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Maradona. There was not youtube back then, so Messi became more popular. However, the things Messi did, Maradona did more. Maradona was playing in a shitty Napoli and won the UEFA and Serie A twice. The defenders were trying to kill him every time. Ask any Argentinian who the best is. He won the World Cup by himself. Messi needed the corrupt Qatari officials to win and Di Maria. Messi is insane on the ball, but Maradona was a leader and a force of nature. He played coked up and still won. Imagine if he did a clean life and played with the players Messi had around him. Since Iniesta retired, he went downhill. the loss of 8-2 to Bayern, The Anfield choke in the 2019 CL, The Copa America chokes vs Chile. He always needed good players around him but Maradona didnt care.
When i asked my dad if r9 was better than messi and cr7 he said yes without thinking, i couldn’t believe it. Now that i watched this vid i see what he was talking about
Wooow. He is so mad talented I don’t think I have seen a player with his size,speed, dribbling and agility. He absolutely mad those defenders touch the earth
The combination of footwork, speed and absolutely cold finishing. The man re-defined what a striker could do
Ronaldo fenómeno 😍
Defenders went home and wondered how were they beaten. Ans then realized, they were dealing with phenomenon
Ronaldo best ever ❤❤
Muita habilidade para um cara pesado,sem falar na explosão e ambidestria
O melhor de todos os tempos! Existem pessoas únicas e com certeza Ronaldo Fenômeno foi único, o maior jogador de todos os mesmo sofrendo com lesões gravíssimas nos joelho foi o melhor de todos !
Growing up in the 90s and early 2000swith no internet, getting the chance to watch Brazil on the tv was rare. Only really got to see them in world cups, but when you did it was an experience. The yellow blue and white kit, the players and the way they played the game was magical. This man took it to another level. I was absolutely amazed by him and them Brazil teams, never felt like that about an international team since. Ronaldo, dunga, Denilson, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Cafu and Roberto Carlos. Nothing but pure talent and I’m glad I was around to see it. Brazil will never be the same again.

He is the real GOAT
Ronaldo Nazario tanpa pernah meraih tropy liga champion,Cristiano Ronaldo tanpa pernah meraih tropy piala dunia
Hehehe 2 wcup.
Don’t think people realise just how fast he was. This is professional footballers he’s doing this to. Sitting down the best defenders in history. The only answer to him was the laws of physics as his speed and power and most significantly, how fast he changed direction, literally broke his body. His knee injuries were primarily caused by Osgood-Schlatter disease and his style of play which basically put so much stress on his knee tendons, they were literally ripped off his shin. Yet he has a highlight reel like this. Without question, the greatest striker we’ve ever seen.
very nice video if you could have the footage with commentaries and an HD quality could be the best ever for R9
Ronaldo and Ronaldinho were something else man! 2000-2010 football was amazing.
Zidane, Henry, Del Piero, Totti, Zlatan, Kaka, Seedorf, Sheva, Crespo, Beckham, Villa, Etoo, Drogba, Torres, Gerrard, Maldini, R.Carlos, Nesta, Stam.... so many legends...

No. He’s the best.
Quite possibly the most talented, the most exciting footballer ever!
I get why Messi and Cristiano will always be considered much higher in the all time greatest debate, and have to appreciate what they've done for such a long period...But still if I had to pick the peak of any player and put them together in a time machine, to the eye Ronaldo Nazario just seems to be in a tier of his own..A touch above all others
Idk where you’re getting this “much higher” thing from…a lot of people have R9 as their goat. Messi and CR7 have had longer careers, but any one that has seen all 3 play knows R9 at his peak was a better pure talent than both. Without injuries, there probably wouldn’t be a debate tbh.
@Footballazz while i am on the same page,that's the reality with most people especially future generations..cumulative stats matter more to them
Not true. Messi at his peak is as good as literally any player there has ever been in history.
@@SARYM911 well recency bias will always kick in and the significance of history will always be undermined by the new generation. That’s just life…the stats mafia can’t even realize that it’s been way easier for everyone to score tons of goals the last 10 years or so, it wasn’t just CR7 and Messi. Yes they were the best so they did it more than their peers, but it is a different game than it was in the 90s and early 00s where scoring was more difficult
@@MA-go7ee hahaha not really…all the things Messi can do, most of the top tier footballers can do them. Messi just does it more frequently than everyone else.
There are things Ronaldo did with the ball that Messi has never done
Cómo argentino lo padecí muchas veces. Que jugador dios mio. El fenómeno 🙌🙌🙌
Una mezcla de un tanque con la versatilidad de un Ferrari, sin dudas el mejor atacante de todos los tiempos
90s was the era of talents and 2010s was the era of hard workers
Excited for the next era of talents though!

I rarely comment on videos but man ..What a phenomenon this guy was .. he might be one of the best number 9 in football.
2:07 is magic
His best days were at Barcelona, where he was simply a freak of nature. Then, the national team, his skills, pace, and goals were unbelievable. Then his pre-injury time at Inter, where he showed the world's that he is simply above the rest. At Madrid, although clearly a yard off and a hint of being slight kilogram overweight, he was stil in cruise control. He played weighing 100kg at AC Milan and still notched up dome classic goals. His fitness was his weakness. Had he taken his fitness more seriously like how namesake Cristiano Ronaldo, he could've played in the world cup of 2010 in South Africa 🇿🇦....

Messi is better with freekick and pass, but they are 2 great players .
only Maradonna can did everything and play everywhere in football
he can be pirlo with his long pass or xavi with his short pass and tikitaka
he can be fast dribbler like messi or an elegant dribbler like Zidane and he can score beautifull head goals like CR7.
he's a leader he make poor players very good .
dont forget in messi area there is lot of cartoon teams and players in Liga and europe with refree protection best ptich best ball and best condition
the area of maradona was very difficult with lot of top players everywhere just for exemple:
check " Serie A 1988/89 Was Already A Super League" Maradonna was a king here not with grenada and getafe players

The greatest player who ever played football, too bad he never won Champions league ☹ so sad because if he wasn't so badly injured he would won at least 3 of them with Inter, they were on paper the best team in Europe at that time and everyone thought they are the next champions, they even bought Christian Vieri for a record breaking €40 milion in summer 1999
I actually think that R9 was injured for most of, if not all of the matches where his team got eliminated from the UCL, at least in his prime anyway. Maybe he played one or two in his later years when he was already passed his best. I say this to say that if he wasn’t injured, he’d probably have at least 1UCL trophy…doesn’t matter tho, every player would trade all their UCL glory to achieve what he did in the World Cup
