Don't forget Pele played at a time when there were no red and yellow cards. Red and yellow cards were introduced in 1970 world cup in Mexico after the disastrous Portugal (3) vs (1) Brazil match in 1966 where Pele was sent out in a body bag. In 1970 England (0) vs Brazil (1), England strategized to take Pele out of the game and sacrifice one of their players to a red card in doing so because they thought "we have better odds of winning a 10 vs 10 contest without Pele". Pele was brutally tackled throughout his life and had to be beyond exceptional on and off the ball to escape without breaking a few bones in almost any international match. Pele was a different beast altogether, he exists in a different plane, another Pele will never be born again because the selection pressures have changed in football.
@Hans Prins Ronaldo might have been a better striker than Pele (although I highly doubt that), but Pele is definitely far ahead of Ronaldo in play-making. This is also clearly shown by their jersey numbers (Pele number 10 and Ronaldo number 9). During Ronaldo's era a great number 10 played for Brazil: Rivaldo. In my opinion, he was the kingpin of Brazil's consistent success.
My mind is blown. I had no idea red and yellow cards were so recently introduced. I always assumed they had always been around, I had no idea that they had only been used in England less than 10 years before I started playing the game (in Canada) as a child. Thanks for that info Sabyasachi!
@Hans Prins I agree you don't need play-making to score goals but you need someone else to do the play-making for you to score those sick ass goals. That's why I mentioned Rivaldo.
@Hans Prins Pele by far, look at all the Soft Pens given out now, LMAO, Pele was far better than Ronaldo, who is selfish, he wont pass the ball, look at Messi and Pele's assists, they were both team first.
This shows how Pele is really beyond all the competition. Not only is his G/A ratio per game higher than the rest but including the 7 ballon d'ors he should have one, he has more trophies than Messi. Put that with 3 world cups and you get the undisputed GOAT!
Pele é lenda pra todo mundo. Senna foi mais pra quem viu. As gerações mais novas meio que não ligam para o automobilismo. Respeitam Senna, mas não sentem nada na vdd. Agora o Pelé é 3 das 5 estrelas
Messi couldn't bring the WC back home to Argentina though. Also Messi benefited from playing most his club career on the best team ever. Imagine if CR7 had Ineista and Xavi feeding him. There'd be no debate.
@@acl1218 Yo stfu mannn How many assists did Iniesta and Xavi give Messi? Most of Messi’s goals are solo goals FFS!!! When they left he was still scoring like a fkin beast even at old age When will y’all stop giving stupid points that don’t make sense Ronaldo was in fkin REAL MADRID REAL MADRID So Barcelona was the best team ever now huh?
@@acl1218 do u think Messi need Xavi and Inesta ????. Do u watch football or imagine by your fucking brain. Please read the records after Xavi and Inesta era, how is fucking many goal that Messi have before moving to PSG?????
A couple of information about Pelé: 1-He won his first WC at the age of 17 y/o 2- He scored goals and provided assists with both legs, from short/medium/long distance ranges. He also scored a lot of goals by headers. 3- He played for Santos for almost his entire career. Santos declined to compete in Libertadores after its 2nd title because it would receive several invitations from Top European clubs to play friendlies that were much more profitable than the Libertadores schedule against other South American teams. Hence, Pelé only played 2 Libertadores and 2 Intercontinental cups, winning all 4. The statistics of those friendly matches are not included in this very interesting analysis. 4-And last, but not least, Santos never had 10 times the budget of its league counterparts like Messi's Barcelona and Ronaldo's Madrid had in comparison to Malaga, Albacete, et co. Pelé's team mates were never overwelmingly better than players in teams facing Santos.
@@Tunde....Ballack , you need to make that comparison on a AVERAGE league opponent, of course. The lower end is always trash everywhere, but in Paulista Championship, Santos had to outplay Corinthians, Palmeiras, São Paulo and Portuguesa, all of which were located in the much richer São Paulo city. At national level, Santos had also to play against very strong sides from Rio (Flamengo, Vasco, Fluminense and Botafogo), besides Atletico and Cruzeiro (from Minas Gerais) and Grêmio and Internacional (from Rio Grande). You cant even start comparing that competition with Malaga, Valencia, Zaragozs, Sevilla, Betis and basicaly most of Spanish league. How many Spanish championships have been won by Real Madrid and Barcelona in the last 20 years?
@@pedromcmamede6758 Oh I need to make the comparison on an average? That's why you bring up Albacete right? and it's also why you bring up the average teams in Corinthians, Palmeiras and Sao Paulo right? You claim Santos was never overwhelmingly better than the rest when they managed to score 30 more goals, 40 more goals 50 more goals than their closest rivals in multiple seasons, if we're talking 40 more goals, then perhaps they did this for almost 5 seasons, if we're talking 20 - 30 more goals, then maybe 10 more seasons. This is more than the second, think about that. They dominated the brazilian world cup winning squad, you talk about Barca and Real winning how many in 20 years, Santos alone won 11 in 15 years in that time period, that's not a clear dominance? People talk about Bayern dominating now, and they had 12 in the last 16 years. You should look at your argument before you start making claims, every single point you make against Messi and Ronaldo's team, Pele's team is guilty of the same, or perhaps even worse when you consider the level of competition of some of those lower teams team
@@Tunde....Ballack , 1st of all, Paulista championship was played by 16 teams, instead of 20. That already raises the relative average quality of Santos opponents vis a vis Real Madrid and Barcelonas' in Spanish League, right? 2ndly, if Palmeiras, Corinthians, Sao Paulo and Portuguesa are part of that championship, they are also part of the overall average, right? Do you have the likes of these teams in Spanish league? Just check the history of Paulista Championship before Pele and after Pele and you will see these teams prevailing in the board. You cant even start comparing their strenght with "mighty" Athletico Madrid, Valencia or Sevilla in the spanish league before and after Ronaldo or Messi. 3rd, its not true that the late 50's and 60's Brazilian national squad was built on a Santos domination. Do your homework and research it. 4th: if you're going to guess the goal differential between Santos and other clubs, you obviously need to remove Pele's contribution to the overall numbers and add an average number to a 11th dummy Santos player in his place right? You dont want to make the case that Pele's team mates were that good using Pele's statistics against Pelé. Well, from 1957 to 1965, Pele scored average 40.1 goals per Paulista Championship season and was the top scorer in every single one of them. That brings the case that maybe Santos overall dominance was more justified by the fact that Pelé played for them instead of playing for the competition. 5th Also, in your reply, you completely ignore the Brazilian tournments at national level, as I suggested. If Paulista championship was higher on quality than Spanish League outside Real Madrid and Barcelona, imagine Taça Brasil or Torneio Rio/Sp with Corinthians, Palmeiras, Sao Paulo and Portuguesa being added by Flamengo, Vasco, Botafogo, Fluminense and others? So, yeah, I think I have good points and better knowledge about Brazilian football history than your biased guessing plays. Thank you for helping to prove my point.
The numbers say it O REI PELE, the images show it O REI PELE, the experts have said it O REI PELE. The one who shone among so many talented stars of the teams where he played and they acclaimed him O REI PELE. His own rivals proclaim him O REI PELE. That's why the GOAT of soccer is HIS MAJESTY O REI PELE
2 assists not 3. His Garrincha’s cross to Vavá in 1958 was deflected by a Swedish defender, not Pelé, who never touched the ball. That’s not an assist. 1958 Final: 2 G 0 A 1970 Final: 1 G 2 A
And note both of those numbers are also FIFA World Cup Final match records. 3 goals is joint most goals scored in FIFA World Cup Final matches, which Pele shares with Vava, Geoff Hurst and Zinedine Zidane. 3 goals assists is the most goals assists in FIFA World Cup Final matches which Pele holds alone. Overall Pele is ranked number 5 highest goalscorer in FIFA World Cup Finals tournaments with 12 goals scored. And ranked number 1 highest goals assister with 10 provided goals assists. The only player who has double figures for both goalscoring and goals assisting.
@@peterpereira3653 yeah, FIFA doesn’t really adhere to Opta’s standard unfortunately so they’ve got Pelé at 10 World Cup assists, including deflections and all. He’s at 8 in reality, 1 in 1958, 1 in 1962, 6 in 1970.
Not to mention that Pelé played when the soccer fields were bad, when the balls were bad, when the jerseys were bad, when the rules about tackling were bad, when the refs were bad... and still he managed to create some incredible moments.
And mostly all opponents were bad too. Too much open spaces, no defensive tactics push the ball forward 5 meters with each touch and run. Respect pele i have him in top tier list but beginning with Cruyff football entered in a new age
@@ermis443 Some games yes, but the Brazilian league was at the same level as the other European leagues, and in the past the game was much more difficult, the ball was heavier, the grass was of worse quality than today, the game was more physical with fewer interruptions , we can't forget the plays that he made against legendary players in the world cup, Players like Eusebio, Yashin, Beckenbauer and etc.
@@saulo4437 Yes, but there were players with better numbers than Pele from his era, Puskas and Bican without a doubt, and because of spotty record keeping from less popular players others are difficult but there are a number of players with better numbers, even in the world cup, there are players with better numbers than Pele. My point with this is not that Pele was not the best of his era, I think he probably was, but that it was definitely a lot easier to score in that era, and so many players scored a lot of goals because of that, Look up any Top 50 list of top goalscorers and you can probably count the number of players from the modern era on your fingers, if not just one hand. Only Ronaldo, Messi, Ibra, Lewy and Suarez tend to make the cut, the rest are from past era. Does this means there are just less talented players cropping up now than ever before? No, it was just a lot easier to score then than now, for numerous reasons. Which contributed to Pele's numbers
Pele wasn't just a football player. He was a super athlete. It's like Michael Jordan was in basketball. They were on a completely different planet from the rest of mortals. That kind of athletes are born once every century. P.S. Don't forget Pele made his debut at 17 years old in the Sweden World Cup 1958. And scored 6 goals, two of them in the final were Brasil ended as champion of the World. Pelé was a complete gifted man. One of a kind.
Did you watch any game with Pele personally or on TV? Who cares what was written on paper 100 years ago. You cannot compare Bruce Lee with Tyson or Jet lee unless they fight each in person. If you look at old footage of Pele playing - it's like watching immatures running around one professional. Messi is a genius in football, and Pele is a good athlete and overall player, but not the greatest of all time, at least because of his stupid remarks about Messi. Genius is closer to the truth than anybody else, Pele is too shallow for GOAT.
Speaking in terms of football, Pele, will never be challenged unless a miracle comes to Earth. He will remain a football King. He is a GOAT FOR EVER!!!
Up until somewhere around the 80's, Pele was the King. Since the 80's that has been seriously challenged. People tends to give lots of points to Pele for the 3 World Cups win, but in none of those World Cups was he the best player. Yes, he is a big name and being born in a strong football nation ie Brazil helps, but if he was Portuguese it would be an entirely different story.
@@alexman8800 First point: If you pay attention to the video, you will realize that Pelé is above everyone in goals and assists, even though he is not the one who played the most, and that is why he is considered the best in history. Second point: to say that he wasn't the best player in the 1958 and 70 cups is to say that he doesn't understand football. I understand that being born in Brazil helps a lot, but he started to improve football in Brazil and transform Brazil into what it is today.
@@futgabfc perhaps we should reconsider Pele stat about Goal/game in club career since Pele only played in Brazil League which of course relatively lower class than the european league.
Pele played against farmers and plumbers in an era where there were almost 4 goals/match scored. Take Messi, Ronaldo or Maradona in their prime, and move Barcelona and Real Madrid to MLS... and that's still tougher than what Pele encountered in Brazil. Watch some videos from the 1950's and 1960's. You can take any MLS team nowadays and put them back in 1950's or 1960's and they'd be The Invincibles. Teams were shite back then. The only people that don't realize that are the same ones that think Pele is the GOAT.
@@Kevin-bt4wb hey bro chill. You can't compare 1950s to morden world. Did you forgot that Maradona also scored a goal in world cup by hand. So their was some advantages on those time and several disadvantages also.
@@Agnostic_The_Destroyer22113 - Wait. What? That's exactly what we're doing though. This who video and all these posts are comparing 1950's and 1960's Pele to the modern world.

In his native Brazil, Pelé has been dubbed "The King of soccer", and the figures shown in this video speak for themselves. He's an all-time soccer legend, in and out of the soccer field. Word has it, Pelé and Santos stopped a war in Nigeria in 1969. Santos arrived right in the middle of the war, ready to play a match in Lagos on January 26. However, according to the legend, when Pele & Co. rolled into town, the guns fell silent. As a Brazilian myself, I believe it's all true. Long live the King!!!
@@Trade_Guruu How old are you? Maybe you're too young...like I said, it may not have been recorded in history books, but there are oral accounts of several Brazilian players who played for Santos at that time stating that a cease-fire was agreed so that everyone could see the King doing what he knew best: score goals and entertain people. Google it!
Hard to compare Maradona using stats against these guys. Maradona played as a 10 during the 1980s in the toughest most defensive league of all time. Instead consider his impact on the sides he came into, inspiring and driving them to trophies they had no right to compete for
You know people like to say this, but it has been embellished over the years, Napoli had never won the title, but perhaps you should go check they had finished in european positions a few times before Maradona signed, so rather than inspiring a leicester, think of what he did as more of a inspiring a tottenham to league titles, it was still impressive though. And that Argentina team that won the 1986 were not the lemmings that they are made out to be, you should look up a statistical analysis of that world cup performance, the team was absolutely solid, and needed Maradona to inspire them to the title, rather than carry them to it.
@@Tunde....Ballack Had never won it before him, have never won it since. Was considered the GOAT by his peers and the only player to be considered so since Pele before him
@@malachix780 None of what you've said invalidates anything I said, he achieved an extremely impressive feat, and the fact that it followed very closely after his world cup feat is what elevated him, but what I've tried to do is to help you apply context to a statement you were running away with. Saying they never won it before him and have never won it after is an argument that can be applied to anytime that has achieved temporary success. Take for example Leicester, which is by far a much more impressive feat than Napoli winning the league, perhaps I could same the same thing about Vardy, or Mahrez, or perhaps Kante since he was also then influential in helping an extremely defensive french team win the world cup, with the manager describing him as occupying the position of 2 players allowing him to play with attacking players and leave Kante alone to sweep the midfield beside Pogba. Should Kante also be the greatest of all time for that? Coupled with his performances in helping Chelsea win the UCL despite not being considered one of the favourites. My point is that achievements like these can happen, to claim Maradona is the greatest just because of this, shows a lack of consideration for those that have achieved comparable feats. Maradona was regarded as one of the best ever because he had a very dazzling playstyle, and he had everything happen for him in that 5 years, plus just the unique underdog status of Napoli in Italy, I don't mean the football, they were never really under-dogs in that, but the actual city's place in Italy at the time, and then for Argentina, it was not just the winning of the World Cup but also the lost war against England, and the way in which he helped dispatch them that achieved infamy, so you had this man that was going beyond just the football on the field to affecting the actual lives off it, becoming a hero to Argentina, plus the fact that he could be their counter to Pele that had just dominated at the time, and then becoming a God in Napoli, it is that same involvement outside of football that brought about his downfall when he tried to incite his supporters to pick support Argentina over Italy in a world cup semi-final held in Naples, and just had everything start to fall apart around him. I think I digressed there, but the point is his impact from just pure footballing terms unfortunately does not put him with these guys, but the fact that he transcended beyond football in much the same way as Pele is what put him up there. And for those 5 years, he truly was phenomenal.
I hope after this comparison, the younger generation who loves the sport will realize that there’s none before or none after to grace field or even walk in his footsteps the one and only King Pele.
You clearly never watch Messi :) Pele's records was already beatten. Mesis broke them all, except WC which is TEAM EVENT, Compare them fearly ! Only the players ability and skills vs another players skills. Do u know where Pele will stand ? Not even in top 10. Dont forget about thing ! The years Pele played there was no offside, very rare was fauls. Very very rare defender jump in the attacker feets. I watch how Pele plays, He just got the ball and run witout challenge. That was it. I dont say that Pele was not great ! He was. But cannot call him a king anymore. The king is Messi.
@@gushy7438 a few times I've seen someone talk as much rubbish about something as I've seen now. Pelé played at a time when cards did not exist and fights were common and unfair play was normal.

One thing that's missing from this equation of on the field stats as G.O.A.T is "off the field" performance. Pele has clearly been the greatest "Ambassador" for the game all over the world, and he did it for the love of the game more than the money. He has been, and still is, a positive influence.
As a Brazilian national I can say that it’s incredible how even today, travelling through countries far from Brazil, anywhere you say you are Brazilian, people usually answer “ohhh Brazil - Peleee, Ronaldooo”
RIP Pele - he gave many a vision of how the game can be, what is possible, show the path and made it such a national pride and status, simply how the game should be… salute to his greatness
On a per game Basis, Pele was more dominant than his competitors. However, in the interval between Pele and Messi/Ronaldo, the entire level of play in futbol has dramatically elevated so much that for Messi and Ronaldo to have their success, their overall skill is superior and legendary. Watching old film of Pele… he wouldn’t start on a European team today. But that is the beauty of the sport. Maradona stays on the list because he won his World Cup with such a weak support cast. Legendary play.

Not only for Argentina...when he was bought by napoli, napoli was a team that almost relegated to second division...with the purchase of Diego it immediately became a team that aspired to the title which he succeeded twice (+ a European Uefa Cup)...trophies that neither before nor after Napoli has ever won and this says a lot about the ability to change the face of a team of Diego Armando Maradona!
Diego Maradona has the lesser of the four as far as stats go but it's very much arguable that what he achieved was much harder with a much lesser Napoli team behind him than Messi had at Barca or Ronaldo at Real

No escándalos ni vicios y no me cansaría de escribir muchas cosas positivas de este grandioso deportista con un 100% De cualidades como ser humano y completo deportista.

Pelé foi eleito Atleta do Século pelo Comitê Olímpico Internacional. De acordo com a IFFHS, Pelé é o segundo maior goleador da história do futebol em jogos oficiais, marcando 765 gols em 812 partidas, e no total 1283 gols em 1363 jogos que incluem amistosos não oficiais, um recorde mundial do Guinness.
@@JoseGomez-vr6lh football was invented in europe. Pelé taught the Europeans how to play football. That is the truth. All the European legends of that time perished when encountered Pelé. In that time Brazil became the country of football mainly because of him. Nowadays football is really more difficult in Europe, I agree with you, but in Pelé's era Brazil was where shit went down. The style of football that today is the norm came from Pelé
Pele was such a total sensation that he played "friendly" matches all over the World in his career by demand. If you count the goals he scored in those games, many against pretty strong competition, his goal total is something like 1282 goals. Also Pele retired at age 30 for 5 years until he came back to play for the Cosmos to help bring soccer to these shores. If he had played for those years his numbers would DWARF everybody else's on this list. Oh , and the "no red card "thing is HUGE. Pele was Hacked out of the 1966 world cup or Brazil probably would've won 4. Of course athletes are evolved and you have to gauge them in their respective time periods. In his time, no one could touch him. He was considered " incomparable " PELE IS GOAT
Pele didn't play in Europe. He didn't play in Eredivisie, Seria A, La Liga or BPL - the greatest leagues of that time. For me statistics of Di Stéfano > Pele for example because of this. Or Cruyff, or Best. Besides, Pele had never played in Champions League. Real, Benfica, AC Milan, Inter, MU, Ajax, Bayern, Liverpool - it were one of the most amazing teams of that time. But Pele didn't play in these clubs, or against these clubs, unfortunately. Don't get me wrong, Pele was an amazing player, one of the best in the world obviously. I'm only talking about his statistics and level his opponents.
Pelé: 17 years old. WC 1958 1 Goal vs Walles (1-0 4ts finals) 3 goals vs France (5-2 Semi) 2 goals vs Sweden (5-2 Final). Need more? No chance to others.
@@luxy190 You cant make comparisons like that. As times goes on, the quality of players improve due to better training, tactics, and technology. Pele was insanely dominant during his time, who's to say he wouldn't be if he was born 50 years later and benefitted from the modern era? And who's to say Ronaldo would have been dominant if he was born 50 years earlier? Best is just to assess everyone in their own era as you cant really speculate otherwise.
The GOAT will forever be Pele. Saying he isn't the best just because he played against semi pros and amateurs or whatever is the dumbest argument. This generations best strikers would have worse performances in the leagues Pele played in. And if he was in the pitch right now, he would be dominating and winning multiple UCL's. I've watched this sport for over 8 years now and i'm sure I'd know more than some kids who've watched football for 2 years and are talking random bs. Don't get me wrong, Cr7, Leo Messi and Maradona are amazing players but the GOAT was, is and will be Pele!
he still played at Santos in one of the worst leagues in the world, just compare messi with him he almost got better stats in top 1-2 League and Pele was playing in his shit brazil league with donkeys and won less trophies just imagine messi would play in the saudi league for 15 years in his prime, he would get over 1.000 goals easily because its a donkey league
Different time, you can not say pele was better because he scored more goals in less games, when most of the goals are against minor teams in games that ended 10-1 against amateur players. Football was not professionalized yet since Cruyff
Statistics isn't enough to reflect a player's actual greatness. If you take in count time situation and fate or lucks, then you can go closer. George Valdano spoiled many easy assists of Maradona and Maradona was deprived by referee Mario Vaskuez of Mexico in1982 in WC against Brazil. According to me 1. Maradona 2. Pele 3. Messi & 4. CR 7.
Messi is a complete player - perfect assist goalscorers dribbles moves building a game vision game! Ronaldo it's just goals some penalties some pushes some beautiful but only goals! And this is what Ronaldo fans will never understand and by force will not even understand that it is true ..

I wonder why Messi golden years ended soon Xavi and Iniesta retired, but anyway I'm guessing you never saw Ronaldo playing when he was younger and besides the old man keeps scoring even with the worst United team in decades and scored 18 goals vs 6 from Messi in an easier league.
Well the defenders and goalkeepers were also poor. No facilities like now. Nobody would do what ramos and pepe was doing to messi on pele back then. He would get killed.
They are all amazing players! Some of the greatest of all time! However, there are no comparisons when it comes to Pelé. He practically created football art. An ambidextrous complete player, incredible ball control and game vision! He was world champion at the age of 17 in 1958! Won 3 world cups! The title "King of Football" is perfect for him.

Paolo Maldini, one of the greatest defenders of all time, said about Maradona “You could not catch him, .... He was so quick and was kicked to pieces all through his career, all through the game. I felt ashamed and apologised to him .... I also realised even more than I had remembered just how quickly he controlled the ball and changed direction. He really was extraordinary.” Maradona was the most fouled player in the world cup history (1966-2018) : 36 fouls in 1982, 53 fouls in 1986 , 50 fouls in 1990. As a kid I watched most of those fouls in the world cups, some of those were criminal level. I have seen many legends during his time and post his time. But the amalgamation of all the qualities, like jaw dropping skill, impossible vision, analyzing the game while playing and trying to control and manage the situation, (coming down to defense and doing precision sliding tackle, in Serie A ) last but not the least the indomitable fighting spirit like a soldier is what makes him apart from other legends, during his time and after his time. I can not comment about pre Maradona era as I have not seen many matches.
To me, Paolo Maldini is in third place, behind Pele' and Maradona. Best left side difender Italy has ever had, he was able to play also in midfield and as a striker.

Yes 1
Yes without proper coach and facilities, he played with farmers, cap drivers, college students, untrained players, lousy defenders and keepers but with modern players and training he would be benched.
You are the only TH-camr that likes and responds every single comment. That’s fabulous. Btw I am Brazilian and I have to say that Pelé was the greatest player ever and I don’t think anyone else will be able to do what his done for football. He is the King of Football. Viva Pelé força e saúde 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

It's very disrespectful to compare the King with these clowns. Pele is football. He's not to be compared with anyone. He's the Mohammed Ali of football. The Einstein, Newton of football
One thing I noticed when watching Pele play is that he is the father of football as we know it today. He put us on to that style, flair, magic. Before him the game wasn't what it is today. Many legends have made their mark but Pele started a fire that still burns strong today. Respect to the King 👑 🙏 🙌
I keep hearing people talk crap. I recently saw a 1934 game Real Madrid vs AC Milan those guys played in army boots flicked, piled and did all the current tricks in those heavy boots.
Not everyone understands that Messi has fewer games !!!!! Huge difference from Ronaldo !!!! And he has no Euro, he has no League of Nations no Euro qualifiers! He has only copa and World Cup qualifiers and that's it !!! You Do not understand that he is playing against teams Harder than ronaldo and Ronaldo against The easiest in the world place 100-200 worldwide !! You Do not understand that he is two years younger than Ronaldo !! So just because of that Ronaldo has more If Messi was playing in Europe or at the age of Ronaldo or he had 100 more games like Ronaldo has he would have had more
You don't understand at all, Cristiano plays for Portugal and Messi for Argentina the one that has 15 American Cups and 2 World Cup, Even if we check Portugal Selection Team in the last 15 years... Portugal has been on top even accounting the remaining time in the last century. Messi is just a bit better than Cristiano but we have to accept Messi had better team and condition than Cristiano.
Winning 3 WC does not make you goat. WC is team event. If you have great team you win. Simple is that. To be call him goat you must first compare his skills vs Messi skills. If you compare Pele skills vs all others he will not end even in a top 10. And yeah i also watched Pele's play. Not impressed.
Pelé was ahead of his time. Besides the talent, he was very dedicated to physical training, by a time nobody used to care much about it. Numbers say by themselves, no more discussion.

@@JoseGomez-vr6lh não, até porque os times do Brasil eram igualmente bons aos europeus na época. Ele acabou com todas as seleções europeias 3 vezes na copa do mundo se serve de alguma coisa
The problem with Maradona was that he only was a football god for a few years, because drugs and addictions led him into failure. For stadistics, game style and conditions Pelé is the real G.O.A.T. I think the only one that gets sightly close is Messi, but it's not enough. However, Messi doesn't have great physical conditions, and that gives him some extra merit. Ronaldo is great at scoring, but he doesn't go beyond that since he isn't as complete as the other players in the list.
I must commend your efforts in both research and straightforward presentation. I'm amazed these different eras could be compared at all. So there was that much football in the days of Pele to make him competitive with today's generation. From memory, I learnt decades ago that Pele had 1,261 goals from 1,363 career matches. I was a great sports encyclopedia in my younger years, I'm not 100% sure of the numbers but I don't think it's off by much. How would that compare with your stats on Pele?

Who is the GOAT❓❓
Messi
Always messi. CRY MORE Penaldo fans!
messi
Cr7 fr India Meghalaya
With the last World Cup obviously Messi is the greatest of all time.
Don't forget Pele played at a time when there were no red and yellow cards. Red and yellow cards were introduced in 1970 world cup in Mexico after the disastrous Portugal (3) vs (1) Brazil match in 1966 where Pele was sent out in a body bag. In 1970 England (0) vs Brazil (1), England strategized to take Pele out of the game and sacrifice one of their players to a red card in doing so because they thought "we have better odds of winning a 10 vs 10 contest without Pele". Pele was brutally tackled throughout his life and had to be beyond exceptional on and off the ball to escape without breaking a few bones in almost any international match. Pele was a different beast altogether, he exists in a different plane, another Pele will never be born again because the selection pressures have changed in football.
@Hans Prins Ronaldo might have been a better striker than Pele (although I highly doubt that), but Pele is definitely far ahead of Ronaldo in play-making. This is also clearly shown by their jersey numbers (Pele number 10 and Ronaldo number 9). During Ronaldo's era a great number 10 played for Brazil: Rivaldo. In my opinion, he was the kingpin of Brazil's consistent success.
My mind is blown. I had no idea red and yellow cards were so recently introduced. I always assumed they had always been around, I had no idea that they had only been used in England less than 10 years before I started playing the game (in Canada) as a child. Thanks for that info Sabyasachi!
@Hans Prins I agree you don't need play-making to score goals but you need someone else to do the play-making for you to score those sick ass goals. That's why I mentioned Rivaldo.
@@JuanJacinto there was offside back In pele days

Pele , I love all of them … but people say Messi since they didn’t see him play
Absolute legends.
A couple of information about Pelé:
1-He won his first WC at the age of 17 y/o
2- He scored goals and provided assists with both legs, from short/medium/long distance ranges. He also scored a lot of goals by headers.
3- He played for Santos for almost his entire career. Santos declined to compete in Libertadores after its 2nd title because it would receive several invitations from Top European clubs to play friendlies that were much more profitable than the Libertadores schedule against other South American teams. Hence, Pelé only played 2 Libertadores and 2 Intercontinental cups, winning all 4.
The statistics of those friendly matches are not included in this very interesting analysis.
4-And last, but not least, Santos never had 10 times the budget of its league counterparts like Messi's Barcelona and Ronaldo's Madrid had in comparison to Malaga, Albacete, et co.
Pelé's team mates were never overwelmingly better than players in teams facing Santos.
Legend indeed
Yeah that last bit is a lie, Santos weren't overwhelmingly better than the lower end teams in their league? What?
@@Tunde....Ballack , you need to make that comparison on a AVERAGE league opponent, of course. The lower end is always trash everywhere, but in Paulista Championship, Santos had to outplay Corinthians, Palmeiras, São Paulo and Portuguesa, all of which were located in the much richer São Paulo city.
At national level, Santos had also to play against very strong sides from Rio (Flamengo, Vasco, Fluminense and Botafogo), besides Atletico and Cruzeiro (from Minas Gerais) and Grêmio and Internacional (from Rio Grande).
You cant even start comparing that competition with Malaga, Valencia, Zaragozs, Sevilla, Betis and basicaly most of Spanish league. How many Spanish championships have been won by Real Madrid and Barcelona in the last 20 years?
@@pedromcmamede6758 Oh I need to make the comparison on an average? That's why you bring up Albacete right? and it's also why you bring up the average teams in Corinthians, Palmeiras and Sao Paulo right?
You claim Santos was never overwhelmingly better than the rest when they managed to score 30 more goals, 40 more goals 50 more goals than their closest rivals in multiple seasons, if we're talking 40 more goals, then perhaps they did this for almost 5 seasons, if we're talking 20 - 30 more goals, then maybe 10 more seasons. This is more than the second, think about that. They dominated the brazilian world cup winning squad, you talk about Barca and Real winning how many in 20 years, Santos alone won 11 in 15 years in that time period, that's not a clear dominance? People talk about Bayern dominating now, and they had 12 in the last 16 years.
You should look at your argument before you start making claims, every single point you make against Messi and Ronaldo's team, Pele's team is guilty of the same, or perhaps even worse when you consider the level of competition of some of those lower teams team
@@Tunde....Ballack ,
1st of all, Paulista championship was played by 16 teams, instead of 20. That already raises the relative average quality of Santos opponents vis a vis Real Madrid and Barcelonas' in Spanish League, right?
2ndly, if Palmeiras, Corinthians, Sao Paulo and Portuguesa are part of that championship, they are also part of the overall average, right? Do you have the likes of these teams in Spanish league? Just check the history of Paulista Championship before Pele and after Pele and you will see these teams prevailing in the board. You cant even start comparing their strenght with "mighty" Athletico Madrid, Valencia or Sevilla in the spanish league before and after Ronaldo or Messi.
3rd, its not true that the late 50's and 60's Brazilian national squad was built on a Santos domination. Do your homework and research it.
4th: if you're going to guess the goal differential between Santos and other clubs, you obviously need to remove Pele's contribution to the overall numbers and add an average number to a 11th dummy Santos player in his place right? You dont want to make the case that Pele's team mates were that good using Pele's statistics against Pelé.
Well, from 1957 to 1965, Pele scored average 40.1 goals per Paulista Championship season and was the top scorer in every single one of them. That brings the case that maybe Santos overall dominance was more justified by the fact that Pelé played for them instead of playing for the competition.
5th Also, in your reply, you completely ignore the Brazilian tournments at national level, as I suggested. If Paulista championship was higher on quality than Spanish League outside Real Madrid and Barcelona, imagine Taça Brasil or Torneio Rio/Sp with Corinthians, Palmeiras, Sao Paulo and Portuguesa being added by Flamengo, Vasco, Botafogo, Fluminense and others?
So, yeah, I think I have good points and better knowledge about Brazilian football history than your biased guessing plays.
Thank you for helping to prove my point.
The numbers say it O REI PELE, the images show it O REI PELE, the experts have said it O REI PELE. The one who shone among so many talented stars of the teams where he played and they acclaimed him O REI PELE. His own rivals proclaim him O REI PELE. That's why the GOAT of soccer is HIS MAJESTY O REI PELE
Pelé have amazing numbers. In World cup finals: 2 games, 3 goals, 3 assists.
A true legend of the game indeed.
2 assists not 3. His Garrincha’s cross to Vavá in 1958 was deflected by a Swedish defender, not Pelé, who never touched the ball. That’s not an assist.
1958 Final: 2 G 0 A
1970 Final: 1 G 2 A
And note both of those numbers are also FIFA World Cup Final match records. 3 goals is joint most goals scored in FIFA World Cup Final matches, which Pele shares with Vava, Geoff Hurst and Zinedine Zidane. 3 goals assists is the most goals assists in FIFA World Cup Final matches which Pele holds alone.
Overall Pele is ranked number 5 highest goalscorer in FIFA World Cup Finals tournaments with 12 goals scored. And ranked number 1 highest goals assister with 10 provided goals assists. The only player who has double figures for both goalscoring and goals assisting.
@@peterpereira3653 yeah, FIFA doesn’t really adhere to Opta’s standard unfortunately so they’ve got Pelé at 10 World Cup assists, including deflections and all. He’s at 8 in reality, 1 in 1958, 1 in 1962, 6 in 1970.

Not to mention that Pelé played when the soccer fields were bad, when the balls were bad, when the jerseys were bad, when the rules about tackling were bad, when the refs were bad... and still he managed to create some incredible moments.
Very true also I support Brazil and japan :D
No to mention the other players were bad as he was a professional who mostly played against amateurs.
And mostly all opponents were bad too. Too much open spaces, no defensive tactics push the ball forward 5 meters with each touch and run. Respect pele i have him in top tier list but beginning with Cruyff football entered in a new age
And no Offside
Well. I played on bad field, without ref, without red cards, with bad ball, and still managed to make 20 goals in one game in my school. Am i goat?

@@ermis443 Some games yes, but the Brazilian league was at the same level as the other European leagues, and in the past the game was much more difficult, the ball was heavier, the grass was of worse quality than today, the game was more physical with fewer interruptions , we can't forget the plays that he made against legendary players in the world cup, Players like Eusebio, Yashin, Beckenbauer and etc.
Pele has far less good competition back in his days, a 10-0 win wasn't out of the ordinary back then.
@@saulo4437 Yes, but there were players with better numbers than Pele from his era, Puskas and Bican without a doubt, and because of spotty record keeping from less popular players others are difficult but there are a number of players with better numbers, even in the world cup, there are players with better numbers than Pele. My point with this is not that Pele was not the best of his era, I think he probably was, but that it was definitely a lot easier to score in that era, and so many players scored a lot of goals because of that,
Look up any Top 50 list of top goalscorers and you can probably count the number of players from the modern era on your fingers, if not just one hand. Only Ronaldo, Messi, Ibra, Lewy and Suarez tend to make the cut, the rest are from past era. Does this means there are just less talented players cropping up now than ever before? No, it was just a lot easier to score then than now, for numerous reasons. Which contributed to Pele's numbers
Pele wasn't just a football player. He was a super athlete. It's like Michael Jordan was in basketball.
They were on a completely different planet from the rest of mortals.
That kind of athletes are born once every century.
P.S. Don't forget Pele made his debut at 17 years old in the Sweden World Cup 1958. And scored 6 goals, two of them in the final were Brasil ended as champion of the World.
Pelé was a complete gifted man. One of a kind.

In his native Brazil, Pelé has been dubbed "The King of soccer", and the figures shown in this video speak for themselves. He's an all-time soccer legend, in and out of the soccer field. Word has it, Pelé and Santos stopped a war in Nigeria in 1969. Santos arrived right in the middle of the war, ready to play a match in Lagos on January 26. However, according to the legend, when Pele & Co. rolled into town, the guns fell silent. As a Brazilian myself, I believe it's all true. Long live the King!!!
Hate to break it to you...but..am Nigerian and no such legend exist here...

Hard to compare Maradona using stats against these guys. Maradona played as a 10 during the 1980s in the toughest most defensive league of all time. Instead consider his impact on the sides he came into, inspiring and driving them to trophies they had no right to compete for
You know people like to say this, but it has been embellished over the years, Napoli had never won the title, but perhaps you should go check they had finished in european positions a few times before Maradona signed, so rather than inspiring a leicester, think of what he did as more of a inspiring a tottenham to league titles, it was still impressive though. And that Argentina team that won the 1986 were not the lemmings that they are made out to be, you should look up a statistical analysis of that world cup performance, the team was absolutely solid, and needed Maradona to inspire them to the title, rather than carry them to it.
@@Tunde....Ballack Had never won it before him, have never won it since. Was considered the GOAT by his peers and the only player to be considered so since Pele before him
@@malachix780 None of what you've said invalidates anything I said, he achieved an extremely impressive feat, and the fact that it followed very closely after his world cup feat is what elevated him, but what I've tried to do is to help you apply context to a statement you were running away with.
Saying they never won it before him and have never won it after is an argument that can be applied to anytime that has achieved temporary success. Take for example Leicester, which is by far a much more impressive feat than Napoli winning the league, perhaps I could same the same thing about Vardy, or Mahrez, or perhaps Kante since he was also then influential in helping an extremely defensive french team win the world cup, with the manager describing him as occupying the position of 2 players allowing him to play with attacking players and leave Kante alone to sweep the midfield beside Pogba. Should Kante also be the greatest of all time for that? Coupled with his performances in helping Chelsea win the UCL despite not being considered one of the favourites.
My point is that achievements like these can happen, to claim Maradona is the greatest just because of this, shows a lack of consideration for those that have achieved comparable feats. Maradona was regarded as one of the best ever because he had a very dazzling playstyle, and he had everything happen for him in that 5 years, plus just the unique underdog status of Napoli in Italy, I don't mean the football, they were never really under-dogs in that, but the actual city's place in Italy at the time, and then for Argentina, it was not just the winning of the World Cup but also the lost war against England, and the way in which he helped dispatch them that achieved infamy, so you had this man that was going beyond just the football on the field to affecting the actual lives off it, becoming a hero to Argentina, plus the fact that he could be their counter to Pele that had just dominated at the time, and then becoming a God in Napoli, it is that same involvement outside of football that brought about his downfall when he tried to incite his supporters to pick support Argentina over Italy in a world cup semi-final held in Naples, and just had everything start to fall apart around him.
I think I digressed there, but the point is his impact from just pure footballing terms unfortunately does not put him with these guys, but the fact that he transcended beyond football in much the same way as Pele is what put him up there. And for those 5 years, he truly was phenomenal.
@@malachix780 Oh I forgot to add, a lot of players have been called GOAT not just those 2.
@@Tunde....Ballack Pele and Maradona before Messi and Ronaldo were universally considered the GOATS, you're being disingenuous by suggesting otherwise
I hope after this comparison, the younger generation who loves the sport will realize that there’s none before or none after to grace field or even walk in his footsteps the one and only King Pele.

In December 1863 the offside rule was introduced as part of the newly agreed rules of soccer in Great Britain.

One thing that's missing from this equation of on the field stats as G.O.A.T is "off the field" performance.
Pele has clearly been the greatest "Ambassador" for the game all over the world, and he did it for the love of the game more than the money. He has been, and still is, a positive influence.
As a Brazilian national I can say that it’s incredible how even today, travelling through countries far from Brazil, anywhere you say you are Brazilian, people usually answer “ohhh Brazil - Peleee, Ronaldooo”
No. Pele did that off the field for a job and to retain power. No other reason for it.
He’s a politician and always has been.
I think if we were to remove Penalty goals from the equation that would drop a certain individual much lower. Hint CR7.
Cruyff not even in the list, and has practically invented modern football...pfff
Pelé é um exemplo como atleta e pessoa publica não fala palavrões nunca bebeu ou usou drogas.
RIP Pele - he gave many a vision of how the game can be, what is possible, show the path and made it such a national pride and status, simply how the game should be… salute to his greatness
Pele is the greatest ever going off the numbers without a doubt 🇧🇷🔥
Um. Messi
On a per game Basis, Pele was more dominant than his competitors.
However, in the interval between Pele and Messi/Ronaldo, the entire level of play in futbol has dramatically elevated so much that for Messi and Ronaldo to have their success, their overall skill is superior and legendary. Watching old film of Pele… he wouldn’t start on a European team today. But that is the beauty of the sport.
Maradona stays on the list because he won his World Cup with such a weak support cast. Legendary play.
@@lericherf6219 There werent yellow and red cards in his age. Normal thing. Can't compare under different conditions. Messi is pretty close even with yellow and red cards.

@@alinaangelina7708 true👑
Our all time hero pele..he is father of football love sir with full respect...everyone....love you sir..
Pelé is untouchable!! GOAT!!!!!!
If one of these guys is called Armando, then he's the GOAT by default. Forget the stats, Armando was, and still is, and will be the best ever.
Paolo Maldini, one of the greatest defenders of all time, said about Maradona “You could not catch him, .... He was so quick and was kicked to pieces all through his career, all through the game. I felt ashamed and apologised to him .... I also realised even more than I had remembered just how quickly he controlled the ball and changed direction. He really was extraordinary.”
Maradona was the most fouled player in the world cup history (1966-2018) : 36 fouls in 1982, 53 fouls in 1986 , 50 fouls in 1990.
As a kid I watched most of those fouls in the world cups, some of those were criminal level.
I have seen many legends during his time and post his time. But the amalgamation of all the qualities, like jaw dropping skill, impossible vision, analyzing the game while playing and trying to control and manage the situation, (coming down to defense and doing precision sliding tackle, in Serie A ) last but not the least the indomitable fighting spirit like a soldier is what makes him apart from other legends, during his time and after his time.
I can not comment about pre Maradona era as I have not seen many matches.
To me, Paolo Maldini is in third place, behind Pele' and Maradona. Best left side difender Italy has ever had, he was able to play also in midfield and as a striker.
Pele was fouled 98 times in the 1962 World Cup😂. Pele went through far more fouls than Maradona.
@@NM-nc4oy because he was the best player and goalscorer of all time and, when you are the best your opponents try to stop you in any way they can on the pitch...
@@hurricanemaude795 ...As a striker???? Absolutely not. Not even his numbers support that statement. 25 seasons in Serie A and 29 goals? c'mon.
when it comes to defenders he's definitely one of the Goats.
Maradona is the 2nd goat after messi
People just see stats and underrate Maradona
and now we see why Pelé is the real goat, even without his "1000 goals" he is still the goat
I am 59 yrs old and i have seen them all in my lifetime.Yes they are all great players but noone compares to Pele.The rules have changed,technology has changed.If Pele had the technology and rule changes of today he would be even better.Do you think todays players could play in his time.Bobbled pitches,heavier balls,no red or yellow cards, kicking,holding.He retired at 32 having won 3 world cups,how many have the others won in an easier era? Yes 1
Pele undoubtedly. Look at his records and he had achieved these at a time when there were no proper facilities.
Yes without proper coach and facilities, he played with farmers, cap drivers, college students, untrained players, lousy defenders and keepers but with modern players and training he would be benched.
@@bendangchang7737 Can you prove that he played against farmers? Pelé had a better goal per game against Europeans than against Brazilians.
You are the only TH-camr that likes and responds every single comment. That’s fabulous. Btw I am Brazilian and I have to say that Pelé was the greatest player ever and I don’t think anyone else will be able to do what his done for football. He is the King of Football. Viva Pelé força e saúde 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you!!
Messi is the best of all time because when Pele where playing there was no person competing with him but now there is a lot of people out there fighting too to measure they are best so I can see sincerely say messi is the best of all time he is goat 🐐🐐🐐
@@sandrasusan8997 everything players do in the pitch nowadays Pele was doing back in 70’s nothing has changed although Pele is the King my friend and this title no one can take away from him. There will never be another Pele
MESSI is the 🐐 GOAT of all time
All the fantastic moves and incredible goals that great players make today were already made 60 years ago by Pelé.
You can take any wonderful move from any current player, and you'll see the same move previously made by Pelé (probably in a better way).
They still can't do what pele did and thought. Genius.
Ronauldinho is the closest
th-cam.com/video/sYokNMEgRvw/w-d-xo.html
Pelé did it first!
Garrincha too
messi , maradona y pele estan en la categoria de jugadores completos que arman , organizan , hacen girar el ataque de su equipo hacian pases extraordinarios de otro planeta, cristiano esta en la categoria de delanteros con mas goles.
Pero si Maradona tiene solo 4 asistencias más 😂😂😂
And half the games
Pessi y Maradroga 🍔🤣🤣🤣🤣 pele is the 👑💯
Indeed if you look at the statistic, Maradona’s results was far from the rest, but still whenever people discuss about the G.O.A.T, he is named and chosen, that’s show something… “charismatic value”, his football career is very legendary and existing, his courage to join an ordinary team like Napoli is great
Because he was midfielder player.
@@mrtpsr4430 Maradona took a ordinary Napoli team to the title. None of the other players has ever player professionally with weak teams and did well. Diego goat.
His national teams were also at lot more ordinary. Messi, Ranaldo and Pele had dream teams many years.
@@donaldmckenzie7728 precisely, but Messi just win World Cup yesterday, with that, I have to say Messi is the greatest player of all time, no question at all!
People forget he was a cam
Comparing Maradona vs pele stats is like comparing zidane vs r9
Those Pelé numbers are 🔥
Pele was insane...
Please take into account the time in which Pele played 😂😂the talent was far less in his time and the competition was far less
@@wolvesbane1748 If Messi or other players played in that time they would be destroyed by Pelé.
@@saviofalcao6752 you're retarded if you think that 😂😂😂
@@wolvesbane1748 why? It's simple if we compare with the facilities that nowadays players have, only the resilient players would be the best players, and if you remember that majority of players played in their leagues, only strong leagues would have the best players.
@@saviofalcao6752 you must not realize that Messi's ability is pure talent...yes he works hard yes its developed through training...but Messi is a natural footballer...he would literally run circles around Pele's era ...Pele wouldn't even be a top 30 footballer in this day and age
It's very disrespectful to compare the King with these clowns. Pele is football. He's not to be compared with anyone. He's the Mohammed Ali of football. The Einstein, Newton of football
One thing I noticed when watching Pele play is that he is the father of football as we know it today. He put us on to that style, flair, magic.
Before him the game wasn't what it is today. Many legends have made their mark but Pele started a fire that still burns strong today. Respect to the King 👑 🙏 🙌
I keep hearing people talk crap. I recently saw a 1934 game Real Madrid vs AC Milan those guys played in army boots flicked, piled and did all the current tricks in those heavy boots.
@@donaldmckenzie7728 link, please!!!!
He isn't anymore with us now
Not everyone understands that Messi has fewer games !!!!! Huge difference from Ronaldo !!!! And he has no Euro, he has no League of Nations no Euro qualifiers! He has only copa and World Cup qualifiers and that's it !!! You Do not understand that he is playing against teams Harder than ronaldo and Ronaldo against The easiest in the world place 100-200 worldwide !! You Do not understand that he is two years younger than Ronaldo !!
So just because of that Ronaldo has more If Messi was playing in Europe or at the age of Ronaldo or he had 100 more games like Ronaldo has he would have had more
Messi is the GOAT indeed.
Very very true👏👏
Messi - Barcelona and PSG , Ronaldo start in sporting
I'm not being bias or anything but Messi played with xavi and iniesta, not only that, he started in prime Barcelona
You don't understand at all, Cristiano plays for Portugal and Messi for Argentina the one that has 15 American Cups and 2 World Cup, Even if we check Portugal Selection Team in the last 15 years... Portugal has been on top even accounting the remaining time in the last century. Messi is just a bit better than Cristiano but we have to accept Messi had better team and condition than Cristiano.
Only 1 player won the FIFA’s best of the century, and he’s name starts with GOAT and ends in PELÉ
Maradona won it aswell
Winning 3 WC does not make you goat.
WC is team event. If you have great team you win. Simple is that.
To be call him goat you must first compare his skills vs Messi skills.
If you compare Pele skills vs all others he will not end even in a top 10.
And yeah i also watched Pele's play.
Not impressed.
In basketball MJ is the goat. In soccer the goat is Pele 💯👑
Pelé was ahead of his time.
Besides the talent, he was very dedicated to physical training, by a time nobody used to care much about it.
Numbers say by themselves, no more discussion.
He never played in a European league were it was harder to score gols.
Apparently Messi is even more ahead of his time
@@JoseGomez-vr6lh ná epoca os times europeus eram muito fracos, santos de pelé era a referencia mundial 7x1 vs inernazionale, 3x1 real madrid,5x1 barcelona nenhum desses gols q pelé fez nesses jogos internacionais contam como gols oficiais oq é uma pena.
@@JoseGomez-vr6lh não, até porque os times do Brasil eram igualmente bons aos europeus na época. Ele acabou com todas as seleções europeias 3 vezes na copa do mundo se serve de alguma coisa
@@jonasf4065 LOL Messi is in the right time you tripping, all the dribbles that Pele did, these kids did today
Messi is just another level real goat..
Messi crowned the GOAT on the 18/12/2022 🐐🐐🤗🤗👍
The problem with Maradona was that he only was a football god for a few years, because drugs and addictions led him into failure. For stadistics, game style and conditions Pelé is the real G.O.A.T. I think the only one that gets sightly close is Messi, but it's not enough. However, Messi doesn't have great physical conditions, and that gives him some extra merit. Ronaldo is great at scoring, but he doesn't go beyond that since he isn't as complete as the other players in the list.
I must commend your efforts in both research and straightforward presentation. I'm amazed these different eras could be compared at all. So there was that much football in the days of Pele to make him competitive with today's generation. From memory, I learnt decades ago that Pele had 1,261 goals from 1,363 career matches. I was a great sports encyclopedia in my younger years, I'm not 100% sure of the numbers but I don't think it's off by much. How would that compare with your stats on Pele?
Muitos gols do Pelé foram feitos em jogos amistosos ao redor do mundo. Muitas estatísticas não incluem estes gols
