Dear Eldrick, thank you for your kind words. You spoke well. I have not told you yet, that before Messi showed up, I was supporting Pele in the so called "debate" against Maradona.. I had written so many comments in favor of Pele and against Diego on Youtube videos. I had been really tired writing again and again... In fact, there was absolutely no dilemma, no comparison.. But the media, as always, WANT TO GENERATE COMPARISONS/DEBATES in order to sell and endless discussions to take place... It is also called BRAINWASH ! There was no real debate between Pele-Maradona and there is no real debate between Messi and pr7, as well. The REAL debate IS between Pele and Messi. In the future, there could be another real debate : Messi vs Yamal or Yamal vs Pele :)

Napolitano: Glad you changed your position, you are a wise man, a healthier debate is better for both. By rhe 60s and 70s Brazil seems that did not payed too much attention to Libertadores and Copa America. Even in 1959 in a second Copa America eddition made that year, they sent a team of one region of their country, basically it was a selection of just two teams. I dont know exactly regarding Pelé, he was so tackled in the first Copa America edition of 1959 they lost in Argentina (17 tackles by game, however in spite of that he was the scoring leader) that possibly Santos and Pelé himself decided not going again. Regarding Libertadores, it's said the friendlies were more profitable by then. Its a true that Messi has a huge amount of Champions League games, it makes difficult an effective comparison, even though Pelé had a lot of friendlies against top euro teams. Different eras complicate this analysis a lot. Regarding the use of rates, it's never a problem if we try to set a threshold with an enough amount of matches, or the same amount of significative matches for all players involved. In baseball for example to qualify for the leadership in rate stats, a player should exceed a certin amount of opportunities it has never been a problem and rates are used extensively in baseball, however it's a reality that sometimes choosing a threshold can be complicated. It has been nice the debate for me too, we all always learn somethings when see how different points of view are out there. I'm also happier to see you are a true believer.

Dear Eldrick, I am very happy that you are A BELIEVER. My real name is Dimitris and I have really enjoyed our discussion through these comments in this site. I really apologise for my previous insults. I just wanted to mention two last things: a) In 2012, Pele himself said that he and Messi are TECHNICALLY AT THE SAME LEVEL. He placed himself above Messi ONLY thanks to his 3 World Cup Wins. b) Why Pele played only 15 matches in the Copa Libertadores (the respective UCL of South America) ? Maybe he wanted to avoid further competition and fatigue ?? Messi played dozens of matches in the UCL and you understand that it's much harder to always compete, overachieve and score in so many continuous big matches. My point here is the average rates that you often refer to. And by that logic, Luis Artime should be considered the all time top scorer and the all time best player in the HISTORY OF ARGENTINA NT, as he scored an impressive 24 goals in just 25 games. Also, Nacho Scocco scored 2 goals in just 1 game played vs Brazil and (for inexplicable reasons) he never played again... Does this make him also the best ?? That is why I believe that average rates are not always a proper criteria to decide the best player. That's just my opinion. Have a good day and a nice summer my friend !

Nobody knows who is the GOAT for sure, the most we can do is to see who gets closer to that concept. One key element, is about being GREAT in ALL the Great-Moments, and the s at the end is very important here. It's not about being great in one big game, or in one or two big tournaments, its about being closer to being-great -all-the-time. Messi profile is not bad, is good, but he was not the greatest as a kid in 2007, here we can consider that we can't expect a kid to be the best. Ok. But in 2010 World Cup, he was not great neither, then in 2011 Copa America neither, then 2014 had a nice start but failed to come up big in the knockout stage and final, in the Copa America 2015 and 2016 (here had strong tournament but low final) did not had the most happy moments. In 2021 Argentina was Champ, but his final was certainly bad. I have not talked about Champions League big semifinal away games. There are too many bad moments for Messi to be called the greatest all times, he was not the greatest in the greatest moments all the time. CR7 has had his strong moments, for sure, but all in all Messi is the GOAT of this century but not of all times.

Eldrick
2025-06-26 11:41:10

Pelé huge variety in his skills set is key here. He was able to come up in big moments with different weapons, something Messi can not do. Messi is great with his left foot, sure the BEST left in history, but in big games he can not do everything with his left foot, sometimes he will have to use his right foot, or to head effectively as he successfully did in that UCL final, but he can't be a consistent good header. When people says he was 'cold chest' on big games, they do not know what they are saying, it's not about his personality, but, it is about his limited skills package. That is what have limited his options to be great consistently in big matches once and again. Right now, and since 3 or 4 years Messi has a lot of experience, and have been able to manage big games successfully, however this only shows that he was not the greatest all-the-time, he had to learn and grow through-time, he had to suffer big failures, now he is a stronger player, though age have a logical impact on his body and skills. He has had a strong mind to overcome failures, and prepare for a better future, that is something we all have to credit him. His World Cup title came late, but as wise men said, 'better late than never'. The point about Pelé is that he was always-great, he was great all-the-time, as a kid, in his peak, and being a veteran in 1970 with more than 900 games of almost 90 minutes in his legs, he could be great because of his wider skills package, he used his tricks extensively from been a kid to the late years. That is all about it To be the Greatest Of ALL Times, you should be the closest possible to being Great-All-The-Time. That's is why I think Messi is not the perfect candidate to be the GOAT, because he had to suffer big failures, he had to learn somethings, and improve some part of his game, all of this Pelé had it from the beginning guys, is simple.

Napolitano: As a Barca fan, I know Messi is a magical player, I have been rooting for Messi all these years and against CR7. Messi is a better player than Cristiano Ronaldo, overall because his playmaking and dribbling. Both lack defense, but CR7 is an all around forward, he can use both legs and is an amazing header. Messi has better career stats because CR7 started late to score goals, but I have no problem to admit the fact that CR7 surpassed Messi score rate in Liga and Champions when they were face to face at la Liga, although Messi outscored him in head to head matches They both are GREAT, I prefer Messi here, I think Messi is THIS century GOAT, but putting them over Pelé is another topic, Pelé game was flowless, and was ALWAYS GREAT, his game did not have to develop, he did not had to learn how to behave in big matches, he was accurate and calm in the clutch and had a wide skills set to use for every ocassion. NOBODY knows who is is the "best all times", but sure Pelé is the one who could be closer to that concept, from a theorical and data based point of view.

Eldrick
2025-06-26 11:00:09

Napolitano: I respect everybody, or try to do that. If you think CR7 disrespect everybody and you just behave like him or even worst, then you let people to drag you the dark places, just an advice, do not let people to drag you to such places, be better than that and be above that disrepectful people.

Napolitano: Stop the blindness my friend, the Messi score in 2014 final was lame, 6.7 Sofascore, no need to waste time. I'm not true fan of these scores, but 6.7 is not good in anyway, less QUITE GOOD as you pretend. 1 big ocasion failed, 4 shots all outside, 2 key passes, 24 lost ball in 66 ball touches, almost cero defense (1 tackle), he dribbled with success 7 times in 11, that was one of his few good things. Im losing my time here with fanatics who do not accept reality.

Eldrick
2025-06-26 10:00:07

I wonder how Messi fans just sink his teammates calling them mediocre team, just in order to elevate Messi to GOAT standard. That Mediocre team did a fine job to get to the final in 1 world cup, and two Copa America. Sure some strikers failed key opportunities, everybody fails, even Mesi failed one or two, not exactly as easy as the ones of Higuain or Palacios but I think its wrong to sink the teammates to elevate Messi, sure the same Messi will not agree with this fans who denigrate his teammates

Eldrick
2025-06-26 09:54:37

I should stop losing my time here with people who do not read and watch freely available publications. Sofascore 1970 ......Pelé 6 assists, 4.7 KEY passes per game, 5 in the final game....... MESSI 2014, 1 assist, 3.3 KEY passes per game, 2 KEY passes in the final. Hey, I'm not the teacher here, do some work before talking guys

Simo3es: I also think the same, if Jesus would arrive 100 times, human idiots would crucify him 100 times. Human Idiocy does not stop. It's and idioccy to put rockets on the moon, and still going with the lazy arguments that player X is the best because he had 3 world cups, scored 1000 goals in 2000 games, or had 10 ballon d'ors (agains a competition of underachievers).

@Eldrick At Qatar 2022, he won the Golden Ball THANKS TO HIS PERFORMANCES, NOT THE GOALS.... Also, he should have 6 OR 7 ASSISTS TO HIS NAME if it wasn't for out of form Lautaro who missed AT LEAST 3 CLASSIC CHANCES. As for Brazil 2014, he singlehandedly led Argentina to the Final. A MEDIOCRE TEAM with only 8 goals scored BECAUSE OF USELESS STRIKERS. From those 8 goals, Messi was involved in the 6. Thanks to Messi's assist Argentina went to the Quarter Finals. In the Semi Final he delivered 2 GREAT CHANCES but as usual, Palacio and Maxi WASTED THEM. HE SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER ASSIST IN THAT MATCH. In the Final, Messi was QUITE GOOD, except for those who do not want to see that. The only bad thing was that chance he missed in the 47th minute. But Higuain MISSED A MUCH EASIER IN THE FIRST HALF AND PALACIO ANOTHER EASY ONE IN THE EXTRA TIME. So tell us, who else DESERVED BETTER THE 2014 WORLD CUP GOLDEN BALL ?? T. Muller ? Kroos ? Robben ? Or Top Scorer James Rodriguez ? I remind you that no player ever won the Golden Ball while having not been qualified through the Semi Finals of the World Cup. I am curious if you find someone that played better that summer... And make no mistake : IF IT WASN'T FOR MESSI, ARGENTINA WOULD HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OUT SINCE THE GROUP STAGE

@Eldrick You pharisee hypocrite... You always refer to Ballon d'Or and Golden Balls as so called "popularity awards"... You always say "let's talk about what the players did on the field". So let us talk about the GOLDEN BOOT awards, about what the players actually achieve / score on the field. Who has won the most ever European Golden Boots ??? MESSI. FIRST WITH 6. AND HE IS NOT EVEN A STRIKER... Who has won the most ever Spanish La Liga Pichichis ???? MESSI AGAIN. FIRST WITH 8. Adding to his Copa America 2021 Golden Boot, his FIFA World Cup U-20 2005 Golden Boot and his Leagues Cup 2023 Golden Boot. Plus his 6 times UCL Top Scorer and his 4 times Copa Del Rey Top Scorer. Plus his Silver Boots at Copa America Centenario 2016 and FIFA World Cup 2022, in which he missed the Golden Boot just by one goal.. Do you want to talk about ASSISTS, MAN OF THE MATCH AWARDS, CHANCES CREATED AND KEY PASSES TOO ????? YOU CAN CHECK INTERNET SITES LIKE OPTA, SOFASCORE AND TRANSFERMARKT. I HAVE NEVER EVER VISITED THOSE SITES, BUT I KNOW THEM FROM OTHERS, PEOPLE LIKE YOU, WHO LOVE STATS... WHO DIE FOR STATS.....! lol

@Eldrick Also, I noticed you mention the name "cr7" very often. Let's suppose I believe that you are a Barca fan, do you know that EVEN THE MAJORITY OF MADRIDISTAS ADMIT THAT MESSI IS THE BETTER PLAYER ?? Do you know that MARCA (THE MOST POPULAR MADRILENO NEWSPAPER) ACKNOWLEDGED MESSI AS THE BEST EVER ?? IN SO MANY MARCA POLLS, MESSI ALWAYS GOT THE NUMBER 1 SPOT. Even if you are really a Barcelona fan, then you BELONG TO THAT MINORITY THAT HAVE NOT REALISED THE MAGNITUDE OF MESSI. You know, just like those people who want to separate themselves from the majority, because they think that their opinion is "better" and they are not like the others... You are just like those who saw Christ, listened to His words, witnessed His miracles, BUT STILL DID NOT BELIEVE. YOU ARE BLIND

@Eldrick... RESPECT is something that someone EARNS. If you respect someone like penaldo7, then I am sorry but you do not respect even yourself.. NOT A SINGLE SERIOUS MAN ON THIS PLANET would respect someone who himself DOES NOT RESPECT the fans, the opponents, the institutions and football itself... Someone who HAS BEEN CHEATING IN HIS WHOLE CAREER BY DIVING AND CONVERTING FAKE PENALTIES. SOMEONE WHO PROVOKES HIS TEAMMATE ON PURPOSE IN ORDER TO EARN A RED CARD AT THE WORLD CUP... SOMEONE WHO CONSTANTLY INSULTS HIS TEAMMATES, HIS COACHES AND EVEN FIFA... SOMEONE WHO THREATEN AND CRY FOR AN UNDESERVED AWARD THOUGH HAVING BEEN TROPHYLESS, JUST TO WIN IT BECAUSE HE WAS ALWAYS THE LOSER FOR 4 STRAIGHT YEARS..... If you Eldrick respect such a guy, then you either do not respect yourself or you are one and the same with him. Someone with NO MORALS, NO PRINCIPLES AND NO MERIT.

2025-06-25 17:26:48

Also a reminder, lets talk about rates, not absolute stats, someone could score 1000 goals in 2000 games, obviously that player should not be "The Greatest". Someone could even win 3 world cups in 10 attempts. This just an example to see how absolute means nothing here, However winning should not be the standard to check how great a player was. Nothing wrong with playing 2000 games or going into 10 World Cups, but that "greatness" is not the one we are talking about Have a nice day

Eldrick
2025-06-25 16:56:04

I'm still waiting to see the Messi defense stats, the goal per game and assists per game, the skill package that surpass Pelé. Let's STOP talking about Titles, Ballon d'Or and prizes given in a salon by voters. Pelé won 3 World Cups, but it does NOT COUNT here, even he won one sat down at the bench by an injury. Let's talk about what THEY DID to win, not about what Vavà, Coutinho, Gerson, Jairzinho did, or Etoo, diMaria, Dibu, Luis Suarez or Neymar did. Nobody is " The Best" because of what his team mates made, but because the things he showed on the field, over all in the GREAT moments, not Copa del Rey or Taca do Brazil, not that game vs Piracicaba or Osasuna, please.

Messi vs Real Madrid was great, but lets not overvalue his performance. From 2010-18 during the competition vs CR7, Messi total score rate was .99 and vs Real Madrid, it was .58, good but not the same thing. It is normal not to score at the same rate vs great teams, but is just a reminder in order not to overvalue the feat, usually people never mind about rates, just use total goals, and think Messi was as good vs Real Madrid as he were agains the rest, it's not the same. He was not a .99 goals per game vs Madrid, he was good, but not the same. Just a warning to avoid overvaluation.

Eldrick
2025-06-25 16:15:29

Header: Messi header in UCL was great. Pele had one very similar in the final of 1958 World Cup, almost a cloned play. The point is that Pelé continued doing it, Messi could not, it is not his game. Heading is key in soccer because the colective marking is impossible in the air, there in the air it is just a matter of two players, if any case the goalkeeper could throw his hand in, nobody else. Pelé heading game was amazing, in 1958 but again in 1970, his jump and technical skill was incredible. You will need to a good header from time to time, in 2014 final extra time it would have been important for Messi to have those skills.

Eldrick
2025-06-25 15:56:33

hHypocrisy "often refers to advocating behaviors that one does not practice". I'm talking about evidence, individual stat rates, skills and people respond with titles (colective) and an array of prizes won result of popularity not skills. Messi won two golden ball award at worl cup, the first he even did not want to take because he felt he did nor deserved. The second was well awarded, but if you deduce he 4 penaltis, it was not so great. A Penalty is a play that can be executed by any player in the team, it is good score a penalty, it is a gift that should be materialized, but scoring penaltiea should bor make the greatest player. Hey, I'm a Barcelona fan, we have been saying all this time exactly THIS about Criatiano penaltis... now all of a sudden Messi fans see the penalties as the greatest feat. Great World Cup, no doubt, he scored when it counted, under GREAT pressure, but scoring PKs is not the way to say who the best player is, it never was. Barcelona fans should know this since long time ago

Titles and titles, they mean nothing to signal the best player ever. Dani Alves has 43 titles, he is second begind Messi, what if he would have won a World Cup? Would he have been declared the best player ever? I doubt it, even as a Barcelona fan who recognize that after he left the club we never reached the same level. Ronaldonho is the only player ever to have won a World Cup, a Copa América, a Confederations Cup, a Champions League, a Copa Libertadores and a Ballon d'Or, is he the best? No exactly. Titles are not the way to talk about INDIVIDUAL feats, titles are colective feats, is it too difficult to understand that? If Dibu allows a penalty in, France wins, then Messi is not the best? What it would had to do with Messi? nothing, it is not about if Dibu stops a shot, if should be about Messi, what he did or did not Best player title, ballon d' Or, etc, etc are all result of votes, they in any case reflect the popularity a player has, anything else.

Eldrick
2025-06-25 15:31:48

Pelé played 3 times Copa Libertadores, here people do not like to check before talking. He scored 17 goals in 15 games in total. In 1962 and 1963 he only played a few games but scored in the finals when it counted most. One time in a full and crazy environment at La Bombonera, the other versus Peñarol in a tough game that had been canceled due to huge termoil. Top moments, high pressure and he delivered in dramatic way. The only Libertadores he played complete was 1965 and he was the top scorer, although his team lost to Peñarol this time. Sometimes people talk about what they do not even know. I'm not here to give history classes, you all should know this before coming here

Napolitano: You seem not to know a thing about respect, first than all, not to Cristiano, me or other. Here I have talked about FACTS, not opinions. Pelé played a few games at Libertadores, I have NEVER talked about titles, it's a mediocre way to say wich player is better, we should talk about facts, skills not titles or results of votes. A title is a result of team effort Pele had 3 Worls Cups, but it means nothing into this conversation, its not about what you won, but about what you did for the victory I'm not a lier, not hipocrete, I talk about facts and skills, you all talk about insults and titles. I though here there were civilized people but it seems all the contrary. Have a nice day, I do not think to fall into the game of unnecesary insults by the way

I want to repeat a statement I made recently to see if somebody could replay decently, with facts and evidence nor with subjective opinions. Messi stats are not better than the ones of Pelé. Messi skills package is not more complete than the one of Pelé. So, Which area is Messi better than Pelé? Why Messi could not come up with his skills when it counted most? Why he had to wait to be more than 30 years old to have a strong world cup, and a strong last game? The best player all times should be the best all-the-time or just at the end of his career? I'm just intrigued about the strong push for him as GOAT, undoubtedly he is very popular, but big popularity does not mean he is a better player than Pelé. The brazilian was ALWAYs GREAT, as a kid, in his peak, and as a veteran in 1970. His game had no flows, good scoring, string creation even good defense. Why not him the greatest? Just asking

Eldrick
2025-06-24 22:27:14

Napolitano: You say I'm a Messi hater, no, I'm not, I'm a Barca fan, but I love more the truth. Fair game policy should also apply to the process of analizing player careers, not fair to forget Pelé did walls with the rivals as if they were practice puppets it is a very exclusive skill not seen anymore. He made the dribble without the ball as against Mazurkiewicz, there are at least two or one video (black&white) where he did the same play and scored the goal. He almost has every possible dribble anyplayer has ever made, and his videoa are scarce, we just have record of less than of 30% of his career and even in that small sample we can find all kinds of goals and dribbles. Get a sample of 30% Messi career with the same kind of games and events, to see if you are able to find that great repertoire. Messi stats are not better than the ones of Pelé Messi skills package is not more complete than the one of Pelé Which area is Messi better than Pelé? I'm just intrigued about the strong push for him as GOAT, undoubtedly he is very popular, but big popularity does not mean he is a better player than Pelé was.

2025-06-24 22:11:20

Simoes: Official stats are just a way to give a chance to modern players to be ficticiusly over stronger players of the past, they played more minutes per game, they defended, and had to endure hard tackles all the time. You say something very strange, that Messi can defend as the best, go and look for Sofascore, the only game Pelé played healthy in 1966 world cup, he had 8 tackles and two interceptions, get busy and find a world cup game where Messi could match that feat, a forward having 10 defensive actions in a world cup, hey you will have a lot of work. Pelé has that crazy stat ... and he only played 12 healthy world cup games. Messi good header? Look for final vs Germany 2014 (sure you won't), 3 minutes before the end, he receive alone in penalty area a ball to head from Marco Rojo it was a ball only for a good top header, not for an average header, it was needed to give direction and great speed to that ball, he could not do that, it's NOT his game. When people say it is needed for a top GOAT candidate to be a good header is not just for the sake of demanding crazy skills or having a card for entering a disco, it is because it WILL BE NEEDED somewhere, sometime boy You also say disrepectful things of CR7 but whether we like or not (I'm a Barcelona fan, not a fanatic). He beat Messi scoring goals per game during the 9 years span at La Liga and also in Champions League, even here for a wide margin, I think at least Cristiano Ronaldo deserves some respect. That disrepectful point of view about him is from fanatics that hate facts and true evidence. Have a nice day

Puskas .56 assists per game (404/719) are unreachable for Messi .347 (384/ 1108), even if he surpass the total count which is really meaningless, except for people who want to hide the reality of the rate stats, which are the ones who really say who is the more efficient player. You all do not want to talk about rates, you all hate rates because you will be hit with the truth, obvious choice. Even Pelé .45 (369/819) assists per game in official stats are too high for Messi. Puskas scored more than 800 goals and had more than 400 assists, was a true clutch scorer, and is not in that list, his absence is the mayor prove that people who voted whether "experts" fans or press did not know what they were doing.

Lineker barely could have seen Pelé, if so was a kid, in just 1 or 2 games. Wenger could not see enough of Pelé, because the btazilian barely played in England or Scotland, for your knowledge

Pelé was a master playing defense, get and get some data, research at sofascore, see his tackles in his only healthy game in 1966 World Cup, and them look one forward who can match that, please research and get informed before even talking or trust "experts" who NEVER saw Pelé playing

Experts were Menotti and all those argentinian couches and players that always said Pelé was the greatest, they did see Pelé play, these new "experts" never were on the field with or against Pelé.

Napolitano: Messi has been voted unfairly many times as man of the game, or best player of tournament it really means nothing, lets talk about what players did on the field, not what people in the stands voted about. In 2007 Copa America final, his goal was disallowed was not even talked about by Argentina press. Whether or not Messi was offside (possibly not), it was another argentinian player who was really offside, and participated in the play. The Riquelme (I guess) shot hit a brazilian player and later hit that argentinian player (elbow), it's that contact the one who counts to disallow the Messi goal. In 2015 UCL final, Messi had a score of 7.4 with 1 big ocassion failed, 1 key pass, just 3 shots (2 outside), not great for man of the match, it was Suarez and Neymar the best Barca players, Suarez had score of 8.0 with 7 shots and 2 key passes. In Copa America 2015 Lio had score (sofascore) of 7.7 in the final, then in 2016 had 7.6 in thefinal, but in the tournament had had 8.56 score, not a big game finisher. Later in 2021 had score of just 6.4 in the final, but 8.30 in the whole Copa, then in 2024 again 7.1 in the final, 7.54 in tournament, not the profile of a killer in big games. In World Cup 2014 was similar 6.7 in the final but score of 7.86 in the event. Not a profile for the "Greatest" This emotional push for Messi as GOAT is even not good for him because just expose his weaknesses I talk about facts, not giving opinions or " simpathy votes", for me Messi is ppssible the GOAT of this century, but that's another hot topic because CR7 has something to say, however I see Pelé is untouchable as the closer someone has ever been from being the Greatest Have a nice day

Napolitano: It's funny you say I did not Messi play, I'm a Barcelona fan since the times of the dream team, long ago don't you think? Every time I see people saying Messi has the most goals in final, sure thing that 100% of times, they NEVER talk about how many games, NEITHER talk about the break up of those goal. Please, they are 14 in Spain SuperCup, 8 in Copa del Rey, 4 in Club World Cup, it's more than half against national competition, or teams of lower power. Did you know that Argentina and Brazil combined, export from 2010 between 3000 to 5000 players? It's a pity saying it, but to win in club world cup nowdays is not a great thing. Copa del Rey and Spain SuperCup, are national competition, its like a league game. UEFA Super Cup also is a game vs a champion but of the euro second places. Out of the comfort area of national competition, Lio has fewer goals, just 2 in 7 games with Argentina (2022 final) and 2 in 3 UCL finals, just 4 goals in about 10 games buddy. Not so bad but NOT great for the profile of the "best of all times". Nobody talks about this, just about disguised absolute numbers how to hide something, please no need to hide anything, Messi is GREAT but manipulation of stats is not even good for Messi.

@cobra rambo I believe that Messi is a bit higher than the Great Pele because he played in Europe for most of his career and he won ALL the trophies he competed for. To me the all time best 10 should be: Messi, Pele, Maradona, Puskas, Di Stefano, Cruyff, Romario, Zidane, Beckenbauer and Roberto Baggio.

Messi is the Pele of 21st century. These two are BY FAR the best, the most complete, the most skilled and the most successful footballers in the history of the game. They are/were both ALIENS. Maradona was also a divine player with incredible talent, but he lacked longevity and was also addicted to drugs. These three are THE HOLY TRINITY of all time football. No one else can be compared to THEM. Period.-

2025-06-23 16:44:32

Let me further emphasise on my previous comment because there are a lot of uneducated people commenting with limited ball knowledge. Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest footballer of all time because he can do everything with a football to an elite level, he’s an elite dribbler standing at 6’2 and skilful, he’s a great passer, he’s one of the best crossers ever, he’s the best goal scorer we’ve ever seen, which encompasses his goat level ability to score with his right foot his left foot his head, with free kicks and free kicks from way outside, score penalties, and score goals from a million miles out, he’s the most dangerous footballer ever he’s the most inevitable footballer ever, he’s the most clutch footballer ever, he’s the best club footballer ever because he’s played in the 3 best leagues in the world which added to him being the best Champions League player ever, he’s the best off ball footballer ever, which encapsulates off ball movement and off ball playmaking. Cruyff famously said, it’s the runners that creates the pass, footballers only get 3 minutes on the ball it’s what you do off the ball. He’s not the greatest international player ever, and actually his World Cup level is not great despite him having a hattrick and single handedly dragging them to world cups in the first place however no excuses the point still stands; this would be a drawback but his international career is minimum top 5 level and superior to Messi because he done it for a team with no history, Portugal were never seen in the way that he made them, they had the same status as what Denmark is now, so circumstances considered and the teammates that he had to play with, he’s one of the best international players ever. It’s like if Puskas had won with Hungary or Modric had won with Croatia. Putting all that together Ronaldo is the Goat. I’ll expand on the others now not going too in depth except for the person that people will get their panties in a twist about and that’s Messi. Pele is 2 because he’s the blueprint of being a great footballer, he could do it all and he also has the international legacy, now granted his final World Cup has minimum impact from him but still in totality he’s the best international player ever. Let’s not forget the external issues, he had to fight against Racism which was very prevalent. The thing that holds him back is a personal era bias. I believe his era is not the strongest and footballers became much better and that holds him back, you could argue it could put him at 4th but I think it’s fair to put him at 2. Next we have Maradona which is the evolved version of Messi. It’s funny how life is supposed to evolve but the better version of Messi came decades before him. What a magician and he actually carried Argentina to a World Cup. He’s a better dribbler and passer than Messi, Maradona is probably top 4 dribbler and top 5 passers. What holds him back is the club career and their is the point that he did actually handle the ball, as celebrated as it is. It’s still a goal that I can’t help but think that’s not allowed. However his greatness at that World Cup and Italy puts him at 3. Now we get to 4th on this list and the one everyone scrolled as fast to get to. Firstly Messi is a great player, to be top 4 all time is special. He’s a top 15 passer of all time, he’s obviously a great passer but his passing is too one dimensional, he doesn’t have a great passing bag, can’t pass as good off his weak foot, looks for the one left footed angle where he goes from right to left overall he’s just a very limited passer to be called the greatest passer ever. He’s not anywhere near the level of De Bruyne Xavi Iniesta Kroos Laudrup, Guti etc. As for dribbling if you believe him to be the best dribbler ever that’s all you I won’t argue with that, I however don’t see him as the greatest dribbler ever, I see him as the most efficient dribbler ever because he’s gets his body feints off but this is bit skill this is his height granting him these attributes, their is no skill so people like Maradona and Neymar will be ahead if him because their short but they can dribble with skill then theirs Ronaldo and Pele who can dribble with skills at heights that are not favourable to them, theirs Kaka R9 the list goes on but if you’re definition is the numbers then that’s fair enough on efficiency and numbers Messi is 1. He’s a limited goal scorer despite him having numbers which he only got because of a system where they pass and move and they were the greatest team of all time but he’s very limited in goal scoring, check the eye test he’s not as good as the others, Ronaldo actually gaps him in goal scoring by a mile. Messi has more long range goals but all at the same spot in context right outside the box same with free kicks, he’s poor when it’s further. Now let’s analyse his career, most trophies comes from the fact that he played for the greatest team ever, he walked into it. He won two league titles with minimum impact he didn’t play important parts. Same for his first UCL which is why he really has 3, wasn’t the best player in his first 2 wasn’t the best player in 09 in the league wasn’t the best player in the 2009 UCL Xavi and Iniesta were, was the best in the 2011 UCL. Wasn’t the best player in 2015 in the league or UCL neymar for champions league and Suarez for League. Next let’s analyse his ballon dors the likes of which only came cuz of pr. 2009 deserved ballon dor winner, 2010 underserved should’ve been one of the World Cup winners between Xavi and Iniesta or Milito and Sneijder for the Treble and treble and World Cup. 2011 deserved, 2012 underserved- they’ll say 91 goals which wasn’t the season btw but he also didn’t win anything, the best player is always the person who wins because guys could stat pad but it only matters if you win, he didn’t. 2013 btw for this very Reason Ronaldo didn’t deserve it. 2015 Undeserved Neymar deserved it outperformed him in the league and Chanpions League. 2019 underserved Virgil Van Dijk deserved it, 2021 Jorginho deserved it, 2023 Haaland deserved it, shattered records in the best league and won a treble. So Messi’s ballon dors is more a bi product if being the media darling and pr and not of his football. Now let’s look at internationally first of all people bring up wc knockout goals now but Messi didn’t have won before the 2022 World Cup and it was in 700+ minutes. He was a Copa failure in a terrible competition till they constantly brought it back till he won one. He won the 2014 WC Pott despite not scoring past the group stage and not winning the actual tournament and he also went a World Cup without even scoring a goal in 2010. Then came the 2022 World Cup where he was gifted 5 penalties in 7 games. Personally I think the tournament was set up for him and if you think that’s an outrageous thing to say, understand that Messi made that exact statement of Brazil from Conmebol in 2019. So of he can why can I not. For people that are gonna bring up offside goals in the UCL, please understand I haven’t brought up issues in refereeing decisions before car because that’s human error, the penalty World Cup was post var and that’s problematic.

Pele & Messi are almost EQUAL in terms of skills, displays, magic, fair play, impact, goals, assists, man of the matches. To be fair, I would put them JOINT FIRST. Third is definitely Maradona (although he scored ONLY 300 goals...), 4th Crujiff and 5th Di Stefano. Ronaldinho and cr7 are SURELY OUT OF TOP 10, they are in the list THANKS TO THE MEDIA, THE SPONSORS AND THE FANS.. The rest five should be Platini, Van Basten, Garrincha, Beckenbauer and Ronaldo 9 The Original. My three substitutions would be Baresi, Zidane and Bobby Charlton.

Who has won the most overall trophies/titles? Messi. Who has won all of the following alongside the M.V.P. award in all of them: FIFA World Cup, Conmebol Copa America, UEFA-Conmebol Cup Of Champions (Finalissima), FIFA Youth World Cup U-20, Olympic Games Golden Medal????? Messi again! So, the greatest footballer of all times MUST BE MESSI!!!!!!!!!! It takes for someone to be either blind or mentally retarded to not see why Messi is the best ever in history of football!

@Elrich... MESSI HAS ALREADY PROVIDED A TOTAL OF 386 (OFFICIAL) ASSISTS. PUSKA'S 404 ASSISTS (NOT 400, LIKE YOU SAID..) ARE U N O F F I C I A L. NEVERTHELESS, MESSI WILL VERY LIKELY SURPASS THE 404 OF PUSKAS.... MESSI HAS PROVED IN HIS WHOLE CAREER THAT WHEN HE WANTS TO, HE CAN BE THE BEST DEFENDER AND THE BEST MIDFIELDER IN THE WORLD. HEADERS ?? HE HAS SCORED ALMOST 30 GOALS WITH HIS HEAD, A VERY GOOD NUMBER CONSIDERING HIS HEIGHT (REALLY, TELL US HOW MANY HEADERS DID MARADONA SCORE IN HIS WHOLE CAREER ??). AS FOR THE REST YOU SAID, I CANNOT TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY WHEN YOU SPECIFICALLY SAID "CRISTIANO HAS SURELY SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS" REGARDING THE GREATEST FOOTBALLER OF THE 21ST CENTURY SO FAR.... YOU HAVE NOT YET REALISED THAT CRISTIANO WITHOUT GOALS IS AN AVERAGE PLAYER.. HIS WHOLE CAREER IS FULL OF TAP INS, FAKE/DUBIOUS PENALTIES, DIVINGS AND CONTINUOUS EXTORTIONS FOR WINNING AWARDS (CRYING FOR AWARDS HE DIDN'T DESERVE TO WIN).

@Elrick And last two things I forgot... You did not mention (very convenient for you of course) that : 1) Brazil won the FIFA World Cup 1962 WITHOUT PELE. It was Garrincha, Amarildo and Zito who won it for Brazil. Pele played the first 1,5 matches with 1 goal and 1 assist, before he got injured. 2) Santos defeated Milan in the 3rd play-off Final of Intercontinental Cup in 1963 WITHOUT PELE, who was sent off in Giuseppe Meazza after having punched his compatriot Jose Altafini... BOTH FACTS ARE VERY WELL KNOWN TO EVERY SERIOUS AND KNOWLEADGEABLE FOOTBALL FAN. Conclusion?? Oh yes, Brazil and Santos could do it without Pele as well...

Napolitano
2025-06-16 01:09:13

@Elrick NO. I read carefully your comment and it is OBVIOUS that you pick whatever fits you better. You dare to speak about big matches and moments... MESSI IS THE MAN FOR BIG MATCHES AND MOMENTS. You probably miss something or you have not watched him a lot.. For your info, Messi has scored the most goals in FINALS, THE MOST IN THE WHOLE FOOTBALL HISTORY (35 goals). And he has also assisted another 15. Go watch again the 2015 UCL final, the real mvp was Messi, who was involved IN ALL 3 GOALS. Surely it was not Iniesta... Moreover, Messi was the official mvp in : Uefa Super Cup 2009 and 2015 (we all know he was also the real mvp in 2011 but uefa wanted a european guy named Iniesta to win it, because they could not stand a South American TO WIN IT ALL THE TIME), Club World Cup 2009 vs Veron's Estudiantes and 2011 vs Neymar's Santos, Uefa Champions League 2011 vs Manchester United (and in 2015 vs Juventus he was the real one), Fifa World Cup Final 2022 vs Mbappe's France, Fifa Youth U-20 World Cup Final 2005 vs Nigeria and Finalissima 2022 vs Italy. As for those Copa America Finals, you definitely hide the truth... You did not even mention that Argentina DID NOT SCORE A SINGLE GOAL IN ALL THOSE FINALS... And that is because the whole team was expecting EVERYTHING from Messi and because Argentina's attackers were USELESS (i.e. higuain, palacio, aguero, who all missed CRUCIAL chances). In 2015 Copa Final he played just fine, he was the ONLY ARGENTINE TO SCORE IN THE PENALTY SHOOT OUT and if there was VAR, he would definitely have gained a red card after that killing kick by Gary Medel... In 2007 Copa Final, MESSI SCORED A CLEAR GOAL, but the referee WRONGLY CANCELLED it. If there was VAR back then IT WOULD HAVE COUNTED. So, do you see now?? Among us, here, it is crystal clear WHO IS THE ONE WHO SPEAKS WITH FACTS, WHO IS THE ONE WHO TELLS THE TRUTH. Goodbye and sleep well..

Napolitano: You did not understood my point, being the greatest is about being great (every time) in the big moments, something Messi could not achieve consistently through his brilliant career. He was not the greatest in Maracanà 2014 vs Germany, Jose Encarnacion Stadium in 2007 final, National de Chile Stadium in 2015 final, Metlife Stadium 2016 final, Olympiastadion vs Juventus 2015 final, there are many weak points in his big moments, too many for a GOAT contender. However in Rasunda Stadium vs Sweden 1958, Estadio da Luz vs Benfica, Maracanà vs Benfica, Azteca Stadium vs Italy, San Siro 1963 vs Milan, Monumental Stadium 1972 vs Peñarol, or Stadium Camilo Cichero vs Boca 1963, Pele was always the greatest, whether a kid, a young star in his peak or a veteran of 940 games played in 1970. If we count big games with Barca, there are some good ones for Messi, but possibly overshadowed by too many bad games in Champions, over all in away matches. He played 15 semifinal matches and only had goals in 3 of them (2 in each) please, I'm a Barca fan, he is an alltime talent, GREAT player, but facts are there, he do not have the profile of the best all times. The best player is not a topic for a voting salon, even less crowded of emotional fans. It's there on the field where that topic is decided ... Maracanà vs Germany, Azteca Stadium vs Italy... there the best was not Messi, there is nothing wrong about him not being the best, anyway he is an all time top player, his magic will be missed when he retires, no need to push him to the top.

Simoes: Again the old argument about plaing in Europe? Seriously? Pele did not need to play in Europe to win three Worls Cups. But when he did played, scored 7 goals in 3 matches vs the best euro teams and other 150 goals in 130 games in friendlies that were not so friendly, because the pride of a whole country was at stage, something not understood today. He played Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter, Milan, Francfort, Benfica, all of them and did exactle the aame he did vs other teams. He did not win Copa America, but the only time he was there was top scorer and best player, and also scored in the final and decisive match vs Argentina, it's not about to win but about to demonstrate you are the best player. Argentina could have even won in 2014 but Messi was not the best player in the final. I'm a Barca and Messi fan, but facts are facts, his game lacks some fundamentals, heading, defense and right foot. Pelé's game had no flows, he could have even being a top defender at any position. Messi needed a lot of time to mature and understand how to play a big match, something Pelé had incorporated early since being a kid. Which stat Messi leads? absolute Goals? no, first is Bican and Cristiano Ronaldo. Assists? no, Puskas is first with 400. Per game stats? which are more important, he trails Pelé by WIDE margin, in goals per game and assists per game. In World Cups the gap is even wider, Pelé had the same goals amount in half the matches. What are we talking about? Is this a serious debate? Absolute stats are a trick to hide a low efficiency. Messi possibly is the GOAT of this century, so far, although CR7 has something to say about that (sure he has). But Messi is behind Pelé almost in every aspect we put on the table. Messi is a magical player, a top talent in history, but fact is he do NOT even play DEFENSE. I do not know any sport in which the best player all time is a below average defender it's something I only see in soccer, just wonder how it happens Have a nice day

IFFHS was surely forced by the media and the pr team of penaldo to include him in the all time top 10. This is an INSULT to football itself, to most football fans with brain and also to past legends like Puskas, G. Muller, Garrincha, Romario, Platini and Bobby Charlton. IFFHS should too take into consideration all that cheating, diving, offsiding scoring and all those fake penalties. Penaldo is NOT EVEN in the all time top 20.... History will prove me and all serious fans RIGHT

@Elrick If Pele had Maracana and Azteca, then Messi had Lusail, Yokohoma, MetLife, Soldier Field, Monumental, Bobonera, Camp Nou, Santiago Bernabeu, Wembley, Etihad, Olimpico, Giuseppe Meazza, Luis II, Parc de Princes. He had also Maracana, Belo Horizonte's Mineirao and many others. Messi scored 9 goals and delivered 7 assists inside the ground of Brazil and played 2 finals and another semi final in Brazilian soil, winning 2 Golden Balls and 1 Golden Boot there.

@Elrick You mean "the best of 20th century", not all time.. If it took Messi 5 World Cups to win it, then how many years it took Pele to play in Europe ? NEVER HAPPENED. Also, how many Copas America it took him to win it ? NEVER HAPPENED. You will have to understand and accept the fact that Lionel Messi is THE ONLY FOOTBALLER IN HISTORY TO HAVE WON IT ALL. LITERALLY ALL. And also, THE ONLY ONE TO BE TOP, NUMBER ONE, IN SO MANY STATISTICS (goal contributions, goals without penalties, assists, key passes, chances created, dribbles, man of the matches and so on and so on). And all these statistics are NOTHING compared to his LONGEVITY and his weekly MAGICAL DISPLAYS. He was the best player in the world in 2009, at his 22 yo and he was also the best player in the world in 2023, at his 36 yo. THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES

Elrick
2025-06-11 10:55:37

Being popular does not mean you are the best. GOAT title is not decided through a poll, but in real scenaries like Maracaná or Estadio Azteca. There Pelé was the best, no flaws in his game, no need to wait for 5 World Cups. People forget the best (all time) is the one who was the best always

It is more disrespectful to football legends like Puskas, Garrincha, Platini, Meazza, Van Basten (who retired only at his 27 yo), Didi, Bobby Charlton, Romario, Roberto Baggio and many others. Ronnie (who did not last long and was more of a circus kind of player) and cr7 (who made a career with so many fake penalties, divings, offside goals and countless tap ins) are in this list THANKS TO THE MEDIA AND PUBLIC RELATIONS. Shame on you iffhs...SHAME ON YOU

Pele and Messi are the two greatest players in football history. Arguably the two best of all times. Third is Maradona, fourth Di Stefano and fifth Crujiff. The other five, with no particular order are: Puskas, Eusebio, Garrincha, Zidane and the Brazilian Luis Nazario Ronaldo. My three substitutes would be: Iniesta, Van Basten and Beckenbauer.

ALL I KNOW IS THIS : 20TH CENTURY G.O.A.T. WAS PELE AND 21ST CENTURY G.O.A.T. IS MESSI (SO FAR). UNTIL SOMEONE WINS 9 BALLONS D'OR, 6 GOLDEN SHOES, 8 FIFA POTY, 47 OVERALL TROPHIES AND MAKES OVER 1350 GOAL CONTRIBUTIONS, THEN THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE THE G.O.A.T. UNTIL AND IF THAT HAPPENS, LIONEL MESSI IS THE UNDISPUTED G.O.A.T.

2025-06-08 21:53:41

Messi's 2022 World Cup win and his 2nd World Cup Golden Ball (only Messi has achieved that) cemented his place as the G.O.A.T. of football. He had won it all until then and many people were saying "yes, but he has not won the World Cup"... So he won that too ! ! ! He silenced all his doubters. Well done to IFFHS for this official, public declaration. Justice is finally done.

Mr Universe
2025-06-08 18:43:27

@Cesar You are right. Only penaldogs refuse to accept Messi's SUPERIORITY because they live in denial and they do not want to see the simple truth. btw, penaldo does not even deserve a place in the top 10. he is WAYYYHY overrated by the corrupted media

Mr Universe
2025-06-08 18:39:34

The list is ok.. it has some mistakes but the top 3 is all good. Lio Messi has won it all, most trophies, most awards, most mvps, most motms, most key passes, most chances created, most assists, most goal contributions and most goals without penalties. IFFHS has done a great work!

César
2025-06-08 09:57:46

There is widespread agreement among football players and coaches that Messi is the best. Furthermore, the IFFHS analysis uses advanced algorithms to assess his impact on the game, versatility, and individual and team statistics.

HE LITERALLY WON EVERYTHING. He COMPLETED ALL THE LEVELS OF THIS SPORT. I believe in GOD and i have learned to regret and repent. I admit that i was TOTALLY WRONG ON LIONEL MESSI.

Bonus players for the top 15 are : Zidane, Roberto Baggio, Garrincha, Bobby Charlton and Platini. This is the perfect all time football/soccer team !

Lionel Messi is always the number 1. The best one. He has the better skills, high football iq level, he's fast, he both scores and assists, he creates and playmakes, he's broken so many records, he's won by far the most individual honours, he has won everything at club and national level. And bonus to all the aforementioned : he's so humble, decent and a gentleman. His impact on almost every match is unparalleled. An average football fan should understand why Messi is the clear number 1 in world football.

Video 3: Argentinos reaccionan a Pele for primera vez Homenaje Al Rey Pele (Argentines watching Pele for first time) bear in mind that it has been mentioned that around 71% of Pele's play has never been recorded Video 4: Pele el mejor de la HISTORIA Que dicen los argentinos (Argentina managers, players, and journalist say Pele is the greatest) They may rank Messi higher now since Copa America and World Cup glory. However, for them the greatest football player of all time is Pele but it's TEAM sport Without Messi: * Barcelona won 2006 Champions League final: injured * Argentina won 2024 Copa America final: substituted injured Without Maradona, Argentina won: * 1978 World Cup: left out of squad * 2 Copa America 1991 & 1993: during his international break Without Pele: * Brazil won most of 1962 World Cup: injured * Santos won 2 games of 1963 Intercontinental Cup final: injured Without C.

Sorry but . cristiano ronaldo played for like 22 seasons at high level helping his teams carrying portugal giving them their only 2 trophies . He started from madeira then challenged himself and worked hard and went to sporting he had heart problems but he managed to defeat them all . He was dribbling carrying passing scoring that he impressed sir alex and took him to man utd where he got the number 7 . And he was dribbling showing everyone in the prem league whos the best . He won 3 prem leagues in a row and ucl and ballon dor . Then he went to real madrid a team that wasnt that good compared to prime Barca but he carried them and scored 451 goals in 430 matches and won 4 ucls . And he won the euro and nations league aswell . Then he went to juv and cooked serie . Then he got an offer from man city but rejected it to go to man utd and stayed loyal . Do u say that a player who defeated everyone and challenged everyone is only in 4th place? I think this is a joke .

Messi in the national team In the 2006 World Cup, at the age of 19, he was a reserve. In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, he did not score any goals. In 2014, in the World Cup in Brazil, Messi lost the final against Germany. In 2018, in the World Cup in Russia, he was eliminated in the round of 16 match against France, on June 30, Argentina. In 2022, he was world champion. Pelé in the national team In the 1958 World Cup, at the age of 17, Pelé scored decisive goals and was world champion. In the 1962 World Cup, he was injured in the second match and did not participate in the rest of the tournament. In the 1966 World Cup, he was hunted on the field against Portugal and left the field on a stretcher after receiving violent blows in the game against the Portuguese national team. In the 1970 World Cup, Pelé shone and was world champion for the third time.

I see you are a fan of Barcelona and Messi , but putting Cristiano ad number 4 just to be in the trend is just something funny , he is second to none , he is the top scorer of all time , he won everything, With all due respect to Messi , he has only 60 offical international goals , how is he number one while the one with 120 is number 4 , you made a mistake, and you call yourself a center of stats and data ? , who has the most game winning goals ? , Cristiano, who has the most international wins ? Cristiano, you need to correct your mistake and you need a new guy to work on your data and stats because you are embarrassing yourself

@IFFHS Hello. I am Alberto from Atlanta, Georgia. Could you kindly provide us with the criteria and the standards for this top 10 selection ? Because I and too many people have serious doubts, especially for the number 4 and number 10 places. Neither Cristiano nor Ronaldinho deserve the all time top 10 spot. Why not G. Muller, Puskas, Romario or Eusebio? Please kindly analyze us your criteria. Thank you. Kind Regards, Alberto.

Whoever disagree with that LIVES IN DENIAL

Until that happens (if it happens) Leo Messi is and will be the ABSOLUTE, the UNDISPUTED G.O.A.T. THE INCOMPARABLE ONE. UNPARALELLED.

Según la UEFA Cristiano es el mejor jugador de la historia de Europa (Champions League, Eurocopa, Nation League Súper Copa). Según la FIFA es el mejor jugador de Mundial de clubes con 7 goles y mejor jugador de la competición, uno de lo más grande futbolistas en la Copa del mundo, Uno de los mejores futbolistas de la historia y deportistas más grandes de todos los tiempos. 45 récords mundiales 11 records europeos 4 premios UEFA 5 Balones de Oro 4 Botas de Oro 1 Puská 5 premios IFFHS 35 titulos Un premio a mejor jugador de la historia de la Champions League (máximo goleador histórico) 935 goles y cuando llegue a los 1000 goles sera el súper Balón de Oro para algo legendario en la historia del deporte..

Felipe Fierro
2025-05-22 04:20:46

Esto es un Robo poner un jugador con tantos títulos y absolutamente casi la mayoría con polémica por delante e incluso rebajando al que vendría siendo el Jugador más completo en la historia del fútbol el solo echo de que un jugador tenga 8 balones de oro ya te pone a pensar como es posible que con títulos que de la misma manera otros jugadores lograron conquistar nunca tuvieron el balón y Lionel Messi con pocos títulos y aportes en estos se le considere el """"Mejor"""" por favor despierten dejen de apoyar a un futbolista que sin ayuda o intermediarios lograría conseguir algo y ni con esa ayuda a logrado lo que Cristiano Ronaldo a conquistado un Jugador que ganó absolutamente todo en una misma temporada, un jugador que ganó 3 veces seguidas la Champions y siendo la máxima figura en las 3, aunque siempre estén en contra de el, lo que este Jugador a dejado en los corazones de cada fan jamás lo se repetira con ningun otro jugador.

First of all Messi deserves everything he is 100% absolutely deserving the 1st position. Secondly Pele and thirdly Maradona also are 100% deserving. But, there is a big BUT! How on earth ronaldinho and cr7 made the top 10 ??? Here we are talking about FOOTBALL, not popularities celebrities media, public relations hollywood circus theatre and that stuff... Instead of ronnie and cr7, Puskas, Gerd Muller, Van Basten, Platini or Garrincha should have been at top 10 ever. Divers and cheaters have NO PLACE at any all time top 10 !

En general el ranking está bien, Messi como el primero es absolutamente innegable pero considero que Cruyff es superior a CR7. La repercusión en el futbol que tuvo Cruyff es mucho mayor a lo que ha hecho CR7.

Ronaldo better than Penaldo
2025-05-21 22:20:50

Ronaldo and Ronaldinho is definitely better than penaldo. What a shame. Penaldo can take the 10th spot or just out of the table. It’s a joke why he got so much of privilege on penalty and EGO of label himself as the best player. Real Goat will never label themselves as best player of all time. What an act.

2025-05-21 20:10:50

Imagina crear stats para agarrarte de algo para poner a messi primero. Apuesto que consideran las asistencias al mismo nivel de los goles cosa que es una aberración porque para la asistencia necesitas más a tus compañeros. La asistencia no existe sin el gol y el gol si existe sin la asistencia. Stats inventadas ,g+a es como decir quien tiene más billetes entre billetes de 1000 y de 100 y quien tiene 1 de 1000 y 5 de 100 piensa que es más adinerado que alguien que tiene 3 de 1000. Stats estúpidas de pases clave o regates por ejemplo. Cosa que un jugador en un equipo con mayor posesión tendría más. Y no tomar en cuenta la velocidad, agilidad o versatilidad. Simplemente stats estúpidas para "justificar" que messi está primero stats que ni pelé o maradona podrían ser corroborados. Pero dale regates pases clave o asistencias valorarlo por encima de los goles. Clarl que sí JAJAJAJA

Penaldo and his fans believe that scoring goals without winning a title is a success lol Messi has lost multiple titles while being the top scorer and everyone considered that a failure. However, Messi crushed him in direct confrontations &won six league titles& two Champions League & six Golden Shoes. Thanks to Perez's influence and Real Madrid's media pressure, they made him a competitor to Messi.

2025-05-21 11:18:10

In which stat Messi is over Pelé? .Goals per game Pelé .92 (767/834) Messi .78 (860/1100) Pelé total. 938 (1287/1364) Assist per game Pelé .44 (366/834) Messi .35 (381/ 1100) Goal plus assists per games Pele 1.36 Messi 1.13 Yet, for some 'people' Messi still 'better'. You can call it whether bullying or authoritian human behavior. Puskas and his history top 400 assists and his 800 not even in the top ten, it goes beyond the lack of respect. "Officially' flowed ranking.

Adrian Vacherand
2025-05-21 11:10:12

Me siento en la necesidad de expresar mi total desacuerdo con dicha elección, convencido de que esta valoración distorsiona profundamente el verdadero legado histórico del deporte. Cristiano Ronaldo es, sin duda, un jugador con una admirable trayectoria en cuanto a cifras y longevidad. Sin embargo, considerar que su estilo de juego y aporte futbolístico lo posicionan entre los diez mejores jugadores de la historia, e incluso por encima de genios como Ronaldo Nazario o Di Stéfano, es, desde mi perspectiva, una sobrevaloración que responde más a narrativas mediáticas que a criterios puramente futbolísticos. Cristiano ha basado buena parte de su carrera en la finalización dentro del área, especialmente en el aprovechamiento de rebotes y centros, lo que le ha permitido acumular una gran cantidad de goles. Sin embargo, carece de atributos esenciales que distinguen a los más grandes: la gambeta como arte, la visión creativa, el juego asociativo elevado y la capacidad de deslumbrar más allá del dato numérico. Jugadores como Ronaldo Nazario, por el contrario, representaron una revolución estética y técnica. “El Fenómeno” cambió la forma de entender el puesto de delantero. Su combinación de potencia, regate en velocidad, definición y desequilibrio individual lo convirtieron en un espectáculo en sí mismo. Verlo jugar era ver al fútbol elevado a su máxima expresión. Lo mismo puede decirse de Di Stéfano, cuyo aporte integral al juego y su inteligencia táctica definieron una era. Es importante subrayar que esta reflexión no busca desmerecer la carrera de Cristiano, sino marcar con claridad la diferencia entre una carrera exitosa y una carrera verdaderamente legendaria. El fútbol no se mide solo en estadísticas, sino también —y sobre todo— en el impacto emocional, cultural y técnico que un jugador deja como legado. Por todo esto, considero que la inclusión de Cristiano Ronaldo en el top 10 histórico es una decisión cuestionable, y ubicarlo por encima de verdaderos iconos del juego es, simplemente, una falta de respeto al espíritu del fútbol y a su historia más rica.

2025-05-21 04:44:06

I relly disagree on the mater of Cristiano and Messi , I mean Cristiano did have the most goal in history right?? Plus if we rank based on Ballon d'Or I think it would be inficiante because we see that FIFA doesn't nominate the best no more , from the situation of Vini Jr and the last Ballon d'Or given to Messi where by he was unworthy it of , the considered the world cup maybe , but then there we see Mbapape cause he had a marvelous season that year and he had gone to the final while having more goals and had won the last world cup , I think the rating is incorrect and Messi is a marvelous player indeed but not the best of history, he is a man who only was capable to show him self in Barcelona and Argentina, he doesn't have the expireance Ronaldo has . We now see him on diferente teams but we can obviously see that the his game drastically changed for the worst , I find it scadelous the fact that such a big organisation would nominate someone this title based on a bad judgement, I hope I didn't offend, that is just me freely expressing myself, thank you

Messi is the Absolute GOAT. No one is near to him, speaking as a true football fan for last 20 years. Just talk about gameplay, skills, passion and dedication he put in every game. It's incomparable. Look at all the cr fans crying in the comments, they are doing it everywhere on the internet because that's all they can do.

Baseado em que messi foi eleito o melhor da historia? Tudo que Messi fez o Pelé fazia muito melhor e mais vezes. Pelé 3 copas do mundo, 1286 gols, é incomparável. Pq Fifa sempre bajula Messi? Qual criterio coloca Messi em primeiro? com certeza esse mesmo critério deveria colocar o Maradona muito abaixo no ranking pois não tem tantos gols, só tem uma copa do mundo e jogou poucos anos em alta qualidade! Pelé tem 18 anos em alta qualidade, é o jogador que mais fez gols, que mais tem copa., único tricampeão. Messi depois que saiu do barcelona se tornou um jogador comum por onde passou! 1 Pelé 2 Maradona 3 Ronaldo 4 Messi 5 Cruyff 6 Ronaldinho 7 Cristiano Ronaldo 8 Garrincha 9 Zidane 10 Di stefano.

Poor IFFHS, With this publication it only manages to demonstrate how incompetent it is in its analysis. Firstly, when evaluating players like Pelé, Cruyff, Zidane and Maradona, it should know that their level is far above Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and even Ronaldo and Ronaldinho Gaúcho. I haven't even mentioned other footballing geniuses who are above Messi, but that's not his fault, it's the fault of the IFFHS, because I believe that even he knows that. Therefore, when we want to know about great footballers, the ideal place will never be this “IFFHS” entity. Ridiculous.

First of all, it's very difficult to compare players from different eras. But there’s no comparison between Messi and Pelé. Over the last 20 years, fine—we can acknowledge that Messi may be considered the best in this period. But in the grand scope of history? Impossible. Pelé’s Impact: He stopped wars. He could go anywhere in the world and was welcomed. He had a massive social role. Messi’s Impact: What does he do for society? Nothing! Symbolism: Pelé is far more representative of football’s essence—a Black man who kicked mangoes because he couldn’t afford a ball, who faced relentless prejudice. Skill: Both were/are phenomenal for their respective eras, but Pelé’s legacy transcends sports.

Como 1 jugador que tiene 3 mundiales ganados, va a estar segundo frente a uno que tiene 1, muchas veces se escuchó el dicho "pele ganó sólo el mundial" o "los hizo ganar solo" La pregunta es ahora, si Pele estuviera en la época de Messi, que cosas hubiera ganado?? Hubiera sido como un Ronaldinho más fuerte, como un Ronaldo Nazario, con personalidsd de CR7.. Elias Figueroa era mejor que Beckenbauer, solo que no era aleman … Neymar no quiso estar en ese top 10 por mala disciplina, pero lo tuvo todo para estar. Mbappe podría llegar a estar si gana otro mundial y premios individuales… Messi es mejor que Maradona, pero para ser mejor que O Rey primero ganas 2 mundiales y ahi nos sentamos a conversar.

My last message from heaven : Hello guys, I am writing to you to tell you to trust the football experts and pundits. Just like FIFA, IFFHS, CONMEBOL AND FRANCE FOOTBALL'S PAST BALLON D'OR WINNERS voted for me and proclaimed me as The Greatest Footballer Of The 20th Century, I expect from you to do the same with Lionel Messi. All the serious official bodies/organizations have voted and keep voting for him as The Greatest Footballer Of All Time. This is not a coincidence. There must be a very good reason for that. So please put aside your personal favorite players and accept the facts and admit the truth. Thank you and goodbye. Hope to see you all in Paradise and join me in Heaven FC :) ;)

Jimmy, Dimitris, Giorgis, Everyone :)
2025-05-19 23:45:50

Pele said it right !! Bravo to him for admitting that ! He only played in 2 games in Chile '62 and then he was injured. Zito, Garrincha and Amarildo were the reasons why Brazil won the 1962 FIFA World Cup. This is the only truth and God knows that. By the way, God bless you Pele :) Lucky you are in paradise now :-)))

Van Basten should be in that list instead of some goal poacher.. But ok, i understand.. Mendez, PR and Media played their part in this. A big role.. Nevertheless, thank Mighty God that the Top 3 is the right decision and for me with the right order. I personally believe that we humans will never see another player like Lionel Messi. He is in a league of his own. He literally completed football once and for all. Just like a video game, he completed all the levels of it !

As I had publicly stated many years ago, watching Messi playing football - you think that he should always win the ballon d'or. He's surely the best footballer of all times. As for the rest, Pele definitely deserves to be second and Maradona 3rd. But no Italian player in the top ten.. not even one ! ? :(

Rodri (Current Ballon d'Or Holder)
2025-05-19 22:57:16

The order of this list is alright. Maybe Platini, Van Basten or Puskas could have been in it, but overall it is a fair one. I had said some months ago and I will say it again : Leo Messi is by far the greatest footballer in history. Period. - - -

IA the best
2025-05-19 19:12:47

segundo a IA é o Pelé , o que pra mim é óbvio : Essa é a pergunta de um milhão de dólares no mundo do futebol! Se formos forçados a escolher apenas um, a balança pende ligeiramente para Pelé. Os principais argumentos para essa escolha seriam: Títulos Mundiais: Três Copas do Mundo são um feito inigualável e representam o auge do futebol. Mesmo considerando as diferenças de época, vencer três mundiais demonstra uma capacidade de brilhar no palco maior do futebol que Messi, com um título, não alcançou. Pioneirismo e Impacto Histórico: Pelé surgiu em uma época em que o futebol não era tão globalizado e profissionalizado como hoje. Ele ajudou a popularizar o esporte em escala mundial e se tornou o primeiro superastro global do futebol. Seu impacto transcendeu as quatro linhas. Versatilidade Física: Pelé era um atleta completo para sua época, com força, velocidade, impulsão e habilidade com ambas as pernas e na bola aérea. Mesmo com a menor qualidade das imagens, é evidente sua capacidade física superior em relação aos seus contemporâneos. Apesar disso, é crucial reconhecer os argumentos fortíssimos para Messi: Consistência e Longevidade no Futebol Moderno: Messi dominou o futebol em uma era de altíssimo nível técnico e físico por quase duas décadas. Seus recordes de gols e assistências em ligas competitivas e na Liga dos Campeões são impressionantes. Habilidade Individual Refinada: O controle de bola, o drible em espaços curtos e a visão de jogo de Messi são considerados por muitos como os melhores da história. Conquista da Copa América e Copa do Mundo: Messi finalmente conquistou títulos importantes com a Argentina, incluindo a Copa do Mundo, o que era um dos principais argumentos a favor de Pelé. Em última análise, a escolha entre Pelé e Messi como o melhor jogador da história é uma questão de preferência pessoal e dos critérios que cada um valoriza mais. Se o peso dos títulos mundiais e o impacto histórico são primordiais, Pelé leva uma ligeira vantagem. Se a consistência no futebol moderno, os recordes e a habilidade individual refinada são mais importantes, Messi é o escolhido por muitos. Portanto, se fosse para dar um único nome, diria Pelé, principalmente pelo seu legado nas Copas do Mundo e por ter sido um pioneiro que elevou o futebol a um novo patamar global. No entanto, reconheço plenamente a grandeza e o impacto de Lionel Messi no futebol. Ambos são lendas e suas conquistas devem ser celebradas.

¿Qué dice la inteligencia artificial? 1. Diego Maradona (Argentina) Determinante: Llevó a Argentina al título en el Mundial 1986 casi en solitario (5 goles + 5 asistencias, incluido el "gol del siglo"). Relevancia: Fue el alma de Napoli (2 Serie A, 1 UEFA), un equipo sin historial de éxitos antes de él. Habilidades: Dribbling, visión, liderazgo y capacidad para decidir partidos en momentos clave. 2. Lionel Messi (Argentina) Determinante: Máximo goleador y asistidor en la historia del Barça (672 goles + 303 asistencias), ganó 8 Balones de Oro. Relevancia: Clave en 4 Champions League y el título de Argentina en el Mundial 2022 (7 goles + 3 asistencias). Habilidades: Regate, pases filtrados, golpeo y adaptación a distintos roles (falso 9, extremo, mediocampista). 3. Pelé (Brasil) Determinante: Único tricampeón del mundo (1958, 1962, 1970), con 1.283 goles oficiales (aunque discutidos). Relevancia: Símbolo del Santos y del fútbol brasileño; combinaba gol, asistencias y juego colectivo. Habilidades: Atleticismo, definición, visión y juego aéreo. 4. Johan Cruyff (Países Bajos) Determinante: Revolucionó el fútbol con el "fútbol total" en el Ajax (3 Copas de Europa) y el Barça. Relevancia: Sin ganar un Mundial, pero su influencia táctica (base del tiki-taka) lo hace único. Habilidades: Elegancia, pases, dribbling y inteligencia táctica.

Messi antes de Pelé?? Debe ser la broma mas grande de la historia. Pelé luchó batallas en el campo, hizo jugadas adelantadas a su época. El único que saltaba como nadie, cabeceaba como ninguno, hacia paredes con los contrarios. Y en esa época no tenían todas las comodidades de hoy. El balón era mucho más pesado, el Gramado muy malo. Si Pelé jugará hoy en día, seguiría siendo el mejor de todos. Lamentablemente ya sabemos que todos estos organismos solo son marketing y muestran lo que vende. Y lo otro Zidane por delante de Ronaldinho??? Con eso se terminó de caer está triste y manipulada encuesta. Messi es el mejor del momento, aunque no le guste a los fans de Cristiano que me parece un gigante, pero nadie hasta ahora ha superado a Pelé.

Gissault
2025-05-19 16:02:13

The ranking is quite accurate, with the sole exception of Cristiano Ronaldo. We're talking about the best player, not the best goal scorer. He would never be in the top 6 (in a personal ranking, he wouldn’t even make the top 10). The top 3 is undisputable; the order is a matter of personal preference. In terms of titles, Messi was clearly the most successful. Pelé and Maradona never won a Copa América. Pelé never played in Europe. Some players are missing, like Zidane, Iniesta, etc.

Kyrian

MARADONA is not backed by any stat to be in top 5, not even sure of 10. Secondly what criteria is being used to compile this list? Irrespective of whatever trophies won, the all time highest goalscorer should be number 1, then every other person comes next. It's usually not a player's fault that they don't come from a world cup winning nation

Swap Messi with Pelé and is 100% accurate. Messi is greater and better than everyone — except for Pelé, who scored over 1,000 career goals and remains the only footballer ever to win three World Cups. Cristiano Ronaldo competes with Maradona for the third spot on the podium. It's a close debate with no definitive answer, but neither of them stands above Messi or Pelé. Cristiano's lack of a World Cup title might place him slightly below Maradona in that specific regard, but in almost every other statistical category, he outperforms him. Not to mention, Maradona’s World Cup win is famously marked by a goal scored with his hand.

ALONSOFT

In my humble opinion: 1. Pele (The Pure talented, magical and unpredictable. Precursor of dribbling, kicking, body movement and artistic Soccer focused on results.) 2. Messi (Very skilled, Focused on results, very high definition ability, does the simple things very well. Doesn't play with the ball, but sticks it to his feet.) 3. Maradona (Magic, Passion, unpredictable, illusionist, juggler...) 4. Garrincha (Magical, skillful, artistic soccer player, won a difficult World Cup without Pele.) 5. Johan Cruyff (With an innovative and influential style of play. A pioneer in the Complete Soccer Player Style) 6. Franz Beckenbauer: (The best defender in history, with great game vision and tactical positioning.) 7. Alfredo di Stéfano: (Skilled and strong ambidextrous player. Goal scorer with great passing accuracy.) 8. Eusebio (A goal-scoring player with a strong and accurate shot. A natural leader in the teams he played for. He led Portugal to 3rd place in the 1966 World Cup, losing to England with Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst. England were champions.) 9. Ronaldo (One of the greatest strikers in history, with great skill, physical play and goal scoring.) 10. Ronaldinho Gaucho (Magician, goal scorer, assist maker, dribbling skills, leadership, joy and results.) In conclusion, old players didn't have many references. They invented a lot of things. The more current the players, the more references they have. That's it!

Pelé is unmatched — beyond any debate — and any attempt to place Messi ahead carries, at the very least, a degree of emotional, generational, or media-driven bias. Pelé é incomparável — acima de qualquer debate —, e toda tentativa de colocar Messi à frente carrega, no mínimo, um grau de conivência emocional, geracional ou midiática. Pelé es insuperable — más allá de cualquier debate — y todo intento de poner a Messi por delante conlleva, como mínimo, un grado de connivencia emocional, generacional o mediática. Pelé ist unerreicht – jenseits jeder Debatte – und jeder Versuch, Messi darüber zu stellen, trägt mindestens ein Maß an emotionaler, generationeller oder medialer Mitwirkung in sich.

2025-05-19 13:26:23

With all respect I believe your rankings show bias toward Lionel Messi while overlooking the true greatness of Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi is always supported by media and institutions but Ronaldo has achieved everything through hard work discipline and self belief he is not just a footballer he is an icon of effort and determination. Please remember football is not only about trophies It’s also about mentality consistency and the power to inspire millions that is why for millions of people Cristiano Ronaldo is and will always be the greatest.

When making a list like this, different criteria can completely change the players' rankings, whether you focus on titles, longevity or something else. I tend to give equal weight to each factor, which makes my list a bit different, as players with a short but spectacular peak often make the cut, like van Basten. Here's my top 10: Messi Pelé Cristiano Ronaldo Ronaldo Maradona Cruyff Beckenbauer Zidane van Basten Di Stéfano

As written, it sounds as if the players were still playing and been evaluated under the same conditions - as if Pelé and Maradona were still on the field today. There are certainly millenials behind on this, funny at least. It would make more sense, if the list was divided by century or era. Saying Messi has displaced Pelé and Maradona is not just unfair — it borders on disrespectful. Cristiano Ronaldo at 4th? Ronaldinho Gaucho with broken legs is better than him.

Based on What? You just publish a ranking without any explanation. Some kind of a joke. You counterdict yourself. In 2000, you placed Cruyff second and Maradona 4th, now Maradona is third and Cruyff 5th. Why??? Have they played since 2000 that you changed the "alltime ranking". Therefore, you should reconsider your ranking from the top position downwards. Probably to many millenials involved who only know Messi and for them Pele was some kind of a museum figure....

Cristiano Ronaldo is on this list just because of scoring goals. Is that enough for him to be in the top five? he simply moved to the strongest clubs and won titles with them but he couldn't do anything for his country in the World Cup.

Messi is finished before world cup , the world cup was gifted to him by fifa every game he got penalty many corruption happened at that time , Ronaldo still playing well even in this age , IFFHS was established at 1984 and not recognized by fifa so this ranking is like an opinion by this organisation no one cares .

Messi greatness isn’t in the ballon dors, stats or trophies. His greatness comes from the fact that he could control, dictate and impact the game like no one else. Messi danger starts from behind the midfield line. Ronaldo is only dangerous close to the area. Stop messi from dribbling, he’ll assist, stop Messi from assisting he’ll score, stop him from scoring he’ll create a goal out of nothing, stop him and he’ll score a free kick, stop him and he’ll drive defenders to open space for his colleagues… I could go on and on. Add the fact he has 8 ballon dors and was 2nd 6x, 2 World Cup golden balls, 4th highest World Cup scorer (3 more goals and he’ll be #1), most assists in the World Cup, most golden boots, 2 copa Americas, Fifpro XI 18x, best player in every tournament he won, scored in every final he won, most player of the matches ever…. This is just a glimpse, it’s not until he’s done we’ll understand why he’s the greatest athlete of all time let alone footballer

Top 3 is definitely right, these 3 are the holy trinity of football. The rest is debatable, Ronaldo9 is judged as if he had played at pre-injury level for his entire career, but sadly he was done at 29 years old. Ronaldinho is the same history, but due to lack of commitment, not injury. I know R10 has lot of fans, but Zico and Romario were greater than him. Please watch some videos of these two before any judgment.

based on which metric did they used to determine the best player ever? is it based on trophies, stats football ability? if that is so Cristiano Ronaldo surpass everyone here.. messi entire career is based on doping.. he has asterisk to his name.. if you ask unbiased professional medical doctors. His hormones was enhanced with doping.. if not that, he wouldn't even come near Ronaldinho... The reason most people prefer Messi is the so called humble gimmicks, which he isn't. The world knows the true GOAT and time will tell us... Cristiano Ronaldo is the GOAT. No media narrative or propaganda can overshadow Cristiano Ronaldo Greatness.

Antonius
2025-05-18 23:06:59

People who claim Messi used doping are utterly despicable! Messi has proven that awards seek him out (mark my words). Enough with the debate—if all or most institutions say the same thing, those who didn’t win should question themselves (including their fans). Check the stats again. Fyi : The hormone injections Lionel Messi received were not doping but part of a medical treatment for Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD), diagnosed when he was 11. This condition caused his body to produce insufficient growth hormones, stunting his physical development. Daily synthetic hormone injections (somatotropin or hGH) were prescribed to support normal growth, not to enhance athletic performance unfairly. Under FIFA's anti-doping rules, hormone use is permitted with a valid medical reason and approval through a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). Messi's case falls under this, as the therapy was medically necessary and supervised by doctors, not for unfair competitive advantage. Speculation on social media has labeled this treatment as doping, claiming it boosted Messi's performance. These claims lack evidence, and there’s no record of Messi violating anti-doping rules. Doping tests, like one after a 2014 match against Espanyol, showed no violations. Based on available information, Messi's hormone injections were legitimate medical treatment and not doping.

Glen P
2025-05-18 22:57:14

If consider that Messi won the ballon do’r 8x and was second in the ballon do’r 6x, while playing in an era with the 4th greatest, we will understand no one will ever equal him. Even if a player wins 8 ballon dors, will they be second 6x as well? Messi is by far the greatest athlete of all time and his legacy will only get more ridiculous as time passes by.

A lot of people are going to be crying because Messi has officially been recognized as the greatest of all time by this institution. And to those who are crying and saying Messi wasn't that decisive in certain matches—there’s a very solid stat comparison between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi that clearly shows Messi is ahead, and well ahead, in both goals and assists in the most important matches. Not just in the Champions League, which is usually the main point of argument for Ronaldo fans, but also in major international competitions. Messi also became the youngest player to reach 860 goals. He’s the most successful footballer when it comes to winning titles and personal achievements—like multiple Golden Boots and a record number of Ballon d'Ors, which Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t even close to matching anymore. And let’s not forget: Messi won the World Cup. He did it, and the whole world saw how he performed during that tournament. I saw it. Everyone did. So, if people are still complaining, it’s just fanboy talk. The numbers, the titles, the performances—all of it proves Messi is the GOAT. This institution made its decision based on facts. So stop crying.

Some people think that there are people better than Messi, but if you ask them to mention that person, they will not be able to do so. And if they mention a person to you and you ask them to explain why that person is superior to Messi, they will not find a convincing answer for you, and sometimes they will be trivial.

Online voting (whether 75% or a 5%), is a joke, millions of people can be wrong and once and again have been demostrated that unfortunately people get wrong more than often. The best player all times should be the best ALL THE TIME, even more in the GREAT moments, we all know Messi is great, but have not been the best in those critical moments, he has had too many debts, too many for a supposed GOAT. If we have to wait for somebody to be great and a World Cup Champ at 34 years old, then is clear he was not the Greatest ALL THE TIME, is so difficult to understand this? He came up great at 34, but did not made that all the time. I think it's an irresponsible way for a serious organization to afford a topic like this. Which are the arguments? No need to give evidence, it's just the popular opinion of current fans, a way to forget the evidence, the facts and the history, it is a nice way to steal the vote of those already deceased.

100% deserved for THE G.O.A.T. When someone wins 8 Ballons d'Or, 6 Golden Boots, World Cup, Copa America, Finalissima, Olympic Gold Medal, Youth World Cup and countless Champions Leagues, Championships, Cups and Super Cups, then he will be able to say that he will have equalled or surpass Messi. Until that happens, MESSI IS THE UNDISPUTED G.O.A.T. The greatest, the best, the most complete, the most successful and the most decorated footballer in the whole history. Whoever does not understand that, he's either blind or football ignorant...

What Messi has achieved isn’t comprehensible yet. Only after he retires will we truly realize just how astonishing he was. His genuine humility will always separate him from all the rest. Those who point at themselves and praise themselves upon scoring… Leo gives all his glory to God and that’s what makes him stand out for me.

I love to see your sore asses crying about Cristiano Ronaldo. And I have bad news for your guys. As time goes by, Cristiano Ronaldo will be considered in lower and lower places. It's very simple really: great pure goal scorers like him are just never considered great players. You don't need a lot of goals to be considered a great player (see Maradona or Ronaldinho) and scoring a lot of goals doesn't grant you a place in history (see Gerd Müller or Romario). Being a great player is so much more than scoring a lot of goals. Expect future versions of this ranking to have Cristiano in worse positions and eventually to drop him all together.
