sry, but everybody who does not think maradona is the goat is clearly clueless imo...

and to mention ronaldinho as one of the all time greats is even more ridiculous. guy is cool and all and was very f*cking exciting for the relatively short time he was in his prime but sry, no way he is even top 10...


Yeah I agree thats why ever top coach in the world are so clueless..

some people here are even saying Zidane is better than Messi which is just hilarous

Honesty in my eyes it's not fair or realistic to say someone is the best in history.

The best during his time would be more appropriate. Of a generation even... But since the sport evolves and the quality of players / technology evolves, what was once the best is now not anymore. And same can be said for the future where the next messi could come to life and same discussion will happen.

What defines the best in history? Most relevant titles? Moat goals scored? Most titles of best CL player? There is too much involved to accurately say that player A would have been just as successful decades ago. Less technology, lower levels of quality treatment for serious injuries that could possibly have ended the career and so on.

I do personally believe Messi is the current best of our generation tho.

This would pretty much have been my point if I could have been arsed to make an essay.

Best of the current crop? Sure
Best ever? Can debate until the cows come home

Mourinho: Any of England's top four would win the Champions League if they had Messi


Quote
The Chelsea manager insists that the Barcelona superstar would inspire any of Arsenal, Manchester City or Manchester United to European glory were he to be a member of their squad


"I think this guy makes the gap by himself," Mourinho told reporters. "You have doubts that Man City with Messi can win the Champions League? Or Arsenal with Messi can win the Champions League? Or Chelsea with Messi can win the Champions League? Or Man United with Messi can win the Champions League? Don’t you think? I think.

"One thing is a team; another thing is a team with Messi. It is a different story.

Griezman has flashes, but way too inconsistent for me.
