  3. If only these fanboys had a bit of a brain. Maradona is the most gifted player there has ever been.

    These fanboys know nothing about football. Messi has done nothing in any world cup he has played in, as he does not have the ability to play well against the best international players. Also, Messi in 80s Barcelona would have had zero Ballen d'or and more visits to hospital than goals.

    Messi is just a club level player. Maradona was a world beating player at the toughest of times to play football ever. If Maradona played in this era, he would have scored dozens of "Goals of the century" because he would not be butchered like he used to be in every match he played in. Oppositions were frightened of him hence the brutality against him

  8. This guy talking about Maradona, has he ever seen guys trying to take down Messi? They tried everything but it didn't work. Rio Ferdinand said that he couldn't even get close to Messi. Meaning that he wanted to be physical with him but he didn't get the chance because Messi was too skilled and too fast. It was not that defenders didn't try hard enough to take Messi down, it's just that they couldn't. Defenders in the Messi era have even more reason to take him down as there has been too much talk about Messi for so long. Yet Messi was too much to handle. Sorry but as great as Maradona is, he's still just a little behind Messi.

  9. If you are Messi, you need the world cup to shut up all the haters. He needs it. He is the GOAT without the Copa America and World Cup. But winning these trophies of his caliber and level, will silence all comparisons with Pele, Maradona, Cr7, Cruyff, Di Stefano, Best, etc. And Messi won it all. Individual and club level, he conquered it all. He can give PSG's 1st ever UCL will only give more painful life to his haters.

  13. CR fans r those who loves his lean 8 packs torseau, his looks, his suiii theatrics whereas
    Messi fans r those who loves watching qualité football loves the magic he creates…End of..period
    ……..🤣

  16. You can't rule of 807 goals…..5 ballon dor…… 5 champions League…. European Championship……won the league in three different countries…. And won the top scorer in all the leagues…….. Their are hundreds of record……. I can go on…c..ronaldo… Is in top five footballers of all time…. 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

  19. 1. Messi

    2. Di Stefano

    3. Ronaldo

    4. Maradona

    5. Pele

    6. Cruyff

    7. Zidane

    8. C. Ronaldo

    9. Gerd Müller

    10. Beckenbauer

    Honourable mentions: Van Basten, Maldini, Ronaldinho, Romario and Platini

    This list is solely based on how they could manage a team and have more impact on a team individually.

    I know people may argue that Pele and Maradona should be ranked higher. But the reason for this is R9 was a monster in his prime which was way better than Pele and Maradona. Di Stefano clearly was been a better playmaker and he played under the worst conditions possible. Also, he took his team to glory consistently. Also, he could play in any position including the goalkeeper's. Pele has 3 WCs which is true but he wasn't even the best player in his team in two of them. He barely played one of them because of an injury; but his team still managed to win. He may have great numbers, but most of them are against small teams. On the other hand, Maradona doesn't have great numbers.

  20. DiMaria scored in the Olympic Final, Finalissimo, scored the 0-1 goal against Brazil in Copa America Final which decided it for Argentina and created the first two goals of this World Cup Final. And yet nobody rarely talks about this absolute HUGE player. Amazing.

  22. Pele is the only player to win three world cups at the age of 30 years old. 3 out of four world cups. Messi played in five world cups and won only one. Failed 4 times in a row. The majority of the world community and countries ranked Pele as the greatest player of all times. Go to most libraries of the world written books etc. And Pele is always ranked at the top of all players in history. Some say maradona is the greatest, some say Messi, some say Renaldo, some say Alfredo de Stefano. But judging by the majority of the world, Pele is universally accepted as the greatest and true King. Messi, Renaldo, maradona and the others are just immitations, that's why they all wear the number 10 shirt, All in Pele's shadow. Pele made the number 10 shirt into a symbol.

  23. the BEST PLAYER EVER just died last night at 82 years old. THE ONE AND ONLY KING OF FOOTBALL……….PELE……………..

    It's an insult even to compare him with the fixed titles king messi. the qatar world cup WAS FIXED and the reffery proved that in the final the way he favored argentina.

    all of you who say messi is the no 1 u are full of S H IT KNOW NOTHING ABOUT REAL FOOTBALL AND U INSULT THE REAL GREATS OF THE PAST……………..PELE…..MARADONNA…KROYF…..PUSCAS….DI STEFANO….GEORGE BEST…….BEKENBAUER………..EUSEMBIO…GARINTSA…….ETC…………….ALL THOSE WERE A LOT BETTER THAN BEEP BESSI.

  29. Ronaldo didn’t need handouts in his career to be considered the Goat. 5 ucl trophies with top scorer in every campaign. Unlike someone who claims a ucl trophy with close to zero contribution all tournament in 2006 lol.
