Greatest Assisters in Football History

[@user-vd6lp8bf2m]

I can't believe Messi and CR7 are retiring soon. I grew up with them. Absolute legends with so many memorable moments.

[@firmanimad]

Honestly did not expect those numbers on CR7

[@markant9534]

He was amazing on the wing for utd, that`s where he won his first ballon D`or.

[@maelillusionesta9919]

I am surprised Di Maria, Iniesta and Xavi are not on here

[@leeprosper2841]

There was Xavi, he got more than 200 assist

[@ligerbeats6824]

Yeah this man got it right with Fabrigas on the thumbnail but he should have put Ozil alongside him cause they are the only true assist masters, at least in England. Maybe Silva and Prime Mata but those would be my honorable mentions.

[@markant9534]

Ozil only had a couple of good seasons at Arsenal, Fabregas has far more assists in the prem.

[@Kilbotz]

How can you put Mesut Özil with 177 ahead of David Beckham who had 243 assists in there? I know he made 38 of them in the MLS, but still that doesn't mean they shouldn't at least be taken into consideration.

[@nanakojo2203]

Beckham played way more games than ozil, they are looking at the assists per game ratio not the total number of assists

[@Sa8zzid]

Where is Di Maria?

[@naeem6116]

I am surprised to see that Ronaldo is on this list

[@momotheone9700]

Before you guys shit ob cristiano ronaldo saying all he does is score goals, do your research. Now tbh you can argue because of his long career, but its still insane that he is responsible for over a thousand goals inbetween 3 clubs

The top are Andrea Pirlo, David Beckham, Paul scholes, Diego Maradona. The accurate ones. One thing to notice that David Beckham could have been the number one in PL history of his strikers would have converted all the goals. There is a video of David Beckhams assists misses. It's too long.

[@suyamsubedi7178]

sure if u add all that thing messi would have 1000 assists

[@uruacufutsal1]

Well, thats true for everyone tho. If strikers convert every chance they get, the games would have 10+ every time, and everyone would have like 80 goals a season and 50 assists. Missing is a part of the game

[@Dacio1202]

For me this video is too biased in terms of todays player. Its way easier nowadays to score, assist or beat a defender than it was in the 80s, 90s, or early 2000s. Rules changed in favor of the attacking player, leaving defender helpless aside. Back then a defender could take on attacking player like Baggio or Maradona 1 on 1 while today they have to press with 2 or more people. Gaps r the consequence which player urs above take advantage of it. Or they just run past helpless defender which cant touch them otherwise they get carded. I would recommend to remove the term "greatest" and replace it with only great

[@heversantos7006]

Yeah it’s not that deep. Relax.

[@Dacio1202]

You guys got some serious faith in good sense of mankind. Me sadly not because i know the majority of the Messi/Cr7 era believe in that.
