What are your top 10 best footballers of all time?My list:1 - Messi2 - Pelé3 - Neymar4 - Ronaldo Nazario5 - Cristiano Ronaldo6 - Maradona7 - Ronaldinho8 - Zidane9 - Roberto Carlos10 - Mbappe
>>158368525>10 - MbappeA forward with such limited dribbling, passing, and playmaking ability should not touch a Top 10 OAT. His "best moment" - the 2022 WC final hat trick - relied on him getting two penalties. He's a complete ghost at the Euros. Hasn't won any UCLs despite being in top clubs surrounded by elite players. Obviously he doesn't press or run much OOP and he contributes nothing to defense, but that could at least be forgiven if his technique and playmaking skills were elite, but they're not. Even his positioning isn't always that great when you compare him to elite strikers like Haaland. And he certainly doesn't pull off any acrobatics (scissor kick goals, etc) like prime Suarez or Ronaldo.
>>158368598Player with most goals in World Cup history by the way
>>158368641That's because there are more games at the World Cup and more opportunities to statpad against shitters and midtable teams (same applies to the expanded Champions League format). That's why raw numbers often don't mean shit. Quality over quantity always remains true.
>>158368598Good post
>>1583685251) Messi2) Cristiano Ronaldo 3) Kevin De Bruyne4) Maldini5) Neuer6) Xavi Hernandez 7) Neymar 8) Kane9) Haaland10) Rodri
>>158368927i also dont rate pre 2000s era footballers at all, the only exception to this is Maldini Of course, who was elite even in his late phase at the dawn of modern football
WHERE IS PLATINI YOU IGNORANT ZOOMER
1. Messi2. Zidane 3. R94. Iniesta5. Maldini6. Ronaldinho7. CR78. Morscardelli9. Ramos10. Cafu
>>158370465Good list except for Ramos who's overrated
>>158368641Was Klose in your top 10 all time before the 2026 WC?
>>158368960Because Maldini was the only one whose career lasted long enough to play through both eras. While the game may have changed in terms of positioning and passing since the 90s the players were fully modern in terms of skill.

>>158368525Messi has to be a psyop. He's so overrated.
>>158384061Why? If your argument is "b-b-but look at these big games he lost" the same applies to other GOATs like Maldini, Baggio, Fat Ronaldo, Zidane, etc. All the best players have lost their fair share of big matches.
>>158384061The thing is he might not be the best free kick taker or the best dribbeler or the best goal scorer but he comes a second best on all attacking like play making . Beckham maight be a better free kick player , zidan might be a better midfield , Ronaldo might be a better goal scorer but non of them combine all skills he is basically above average on all attack while others may be elite in one or two aspect but lack the rest . He can play a very poor game but makes a great assist or scores a free kick or creat a deadly chance out of nothing and that is sometimes enough to win a game

>>158395903Wait, put Tevez for Heinze.
>>158395903Redondo, Passarella, and Mascherano deserve to be on here. Maybe Sivori, Kempes, Aimar and Ortega in the 8-10 spots as well.

1/2 - Messi/Pele3/4 - Maradona/Salah5 - Kante6/7 - Cruiyff/Vini(pre-surgery)8/9 - Khune/Modric10 - 08 Cristiano/Suarez/OzilXI:GK - Khune (Oblak, Neuer)DF - Militao, Rudiger, Bonucci (Carvajal, Demiral, Khoulibaly, Kim)DMF - Casemiro, Kante (Toure, Rakitic)MF - Modric (Valverde, De Bruyne, Gerrard)AMF - Ozil (Cruiyph, Maradona)RW - Messi (Di Maria, Salah)LW - Vini (Kvara)STR - Kane (Lewa, Suarez, Endrick)Coach - Allegri (Ancelotti, Flick)Too much individuality kills balance and coordination.

>>158398494I did think about adding Kempes and Aimar. The 5-10 spots of any list gets tricky and comes down to personal taste.>>158399101This must be a troll. Who the fuck is Khune?

>Cristiano Ronaldoextremely boring player. his only highlights are goals, and his only goals are tap-ins and penalties. you would only include him in such a list if you think looking at a statistic is amazing.

Why don't you guys include him in your lists?I'm pretty sure you guys haven't seen enough Neymar games. He's the best dribbler in history. Top scorer for Brazil.
