DZTRUKTR [#2]where's Ronaldinho tho ??
He will enter the Top 10 most talented for sure, with relevance to the game all those on the list are above him.
busetto [#4]if ronaldo and messi arent 1 and 2 in any order then the list is wrong
Messi + Ronaldo = 0 World Cups. Not in my book
Pele = 3 World Cups (one of them with 17 years old and he scoring har-trick in the semi-final and 2 in the final), stopped War in countries he played because soldiers wanted to watch him play, precursor of the mystical “10 Shirt”, holder of dozens of records for over 50 years, inventor of dozens of dribbles and tricks, complete player, almost 800 official goals in his career. The physique that CR7 has today Pelé had in 1960 without any technology
Maradona = 1 World Cup (Hardcarry, greatest individual performance ever in world cups).
Cruyff = 0 World Cups but is the greatest genius in the history of the sport, athlete 50 years ahead of his time and perhaps the greatest legacy of all on the list.
iMyw_ [#8]The fact that you put Ronaldo over messi is like saying that nAts and Yay aren’t the best players in the world.
Ronaldo holds almost all the records in the game, more collective titles, more titles by national teams, but Messi is more talented than him
cwwecwcqe [#9]no brazil ronaldo, no puskas, messi and ronaldo only 4th and 5th
0/8
“Ronaldo Phenomenon”. Messi and Ronaldo do not have the same legacy as the other three above on the list imo.
kocunar [#16]Pretty good list, I would have had Puskas and Platini in top 10
Debatable, you could substitute them for Garrincha or maybe Di Stefano but these two are super heavy names for football and they were players of huge impact in their times

Pele playing farmers league + world cup was much easier to win back than, especially because of the conflicts in europe

sorry, i was not paying attention
if we look talent and titles, they are ahead of everyone, i think you probably ranked them based on which player has bigger "legacy". i think when they will retire (messi and ron), everyone will call them as the GOATS

Farmers league vs Garrincha, Gerson, Rivellino, Didi? Pele played against Beckenbauer, Eusebio, Di Stefano, Puskas and humiliated them all. Brazil was such a farmers league that it won 3 world cups with players playing on national soil

not comparable to what ronaldo and messi are doing tho, ronaldo didnt chose to not be born in france and therefore not win any world cups, same goes for messi

In titles and achievements yes, in talent I believe Messi and R9 are the GOATs, on talent: R9 pre injury>Messi>Pele>Maradona>CR7 imo

Good list, where is Zico?
thanatos11 [#29]
- Messi
- Maradona
- Ronaldo
- Pele
- Cruyff
- Ronaldo Nazario
- Gerd Muller
- Ronaldinho
- Maldini
- Henry
Henry over Ronaldinho, Zico, Platini, Zidane?
Noyn [#37]Henry over Ronaldinho, Zico, Platini, Zidane?
Yes, greatest player to ever play in the prem
Noyn [#31]Pele have 7 Ballon d’or
I dont feel like receiving it retrospectively is the same value. I just wanted to point out how your reasoning of them having more world cup winner medals is stupid. Because not Pele or Maradona won the WC but Brazil and Argentina, discrediting everyone else is just sad. Have different reasoning and i will understand why you chose them above Messi or Ronaldo
