True bro. This is Champ league XI though - how many he win? How did he do? ... I'm no hater at all - I like Buffon, but you have lost your mind/ have no understanding of the game if u pick Buffon as the best ever Champions League keeper. Absolute delusional.

[@Ren-qd3gk]

Its all down to opinion and what kind of system they're playing in, if its a Pep or Klopp system with the ball playing GK with good distribution then Neuer is obviously the best choice, if its one of the older systems then Buffon or Casillas would be good choices aswell.

[@Drumzoo]

Respect for choosing Buffon. He is simply the greatest goalkeeper of all time. He was the best UCL keeper in at least a few different seasons, including the 3 years he went to the final, he brought Juventus there. He even saved 2 Milan penalties in the 2003 final shootout. As a keeper you can’t be expected to do much more than that after 5 penalties. His team let him down in all 3 finals. Additionally, in 2006 he was the WC champion, best keeper in the world BY VERY FAR when Juventus went down to Serie B. Every team wanted him, especially Barcelona to replace Valdes. He could’ve easily went on to win multiple UCL, but he chose to stay. Have to respect it

[@angerisdiscipline3913]

Neuer is clearly better for me

Players can no longer control the ball, pick a pass, pick a head in a cross, the technical ability of players have dropped dramatically since the mid to late 2000s when they started choosing players and youth players on physical characteristics and not playing ability.

R9 is the greatest striker of all time. Unmatched dribbling and ball control skill set, excellent speed, right foot and positioning in and outside the box. He was the perfect striker. However, all those facets cannot be used to discredit Messi or Ronaldo. Both have shadow aspects of Ronaldo, but at varying levels. More importantly, the killer mentality. Scoring hatricks in high pressure games and the never die attitude is what puts them above R9 and other great strikers.

[@michaeltrumph121]

Neither broke their knees like R9 did. And they played for teams that were a million times better. Also, Messi is shit under pressure, he crumbles every time, he's mentally weak.

[@critical_analysis]

Van Basten was better than R9 both technically and also elegance wise. People forget Van Basten but he was the best striker. Messi is the greatest of all time, no one compares to Messi, doing it for nearly 15 years is insane, so Messi is the vest.

[@jeppeballe7181]

I'm okay with not picking Casillas as the goalkeeper if this was not for an all time champions league XI, but in my humble opinion he has to be in the team. First of all he the most clean sheets in the champions league (also the most cleen sheets in 21st century as a whole), holds the record for most selections in world 11 alongside Buffon and Neuer with 5. He has 3 champions league wins to Buffons 0 and Neuers 2. I think it's debetable in the big picture who was the better between Buffon and Casillas, but when picking an all time XI for champions league specifically and not an all time XI in the history of football, I think you have to go with Casillas. The fact that Buffon didn't win it, has to count against him and the fact that they played more or less the same amount of seasons in the champions league as first choice goalkeepers for their respective clubs but Casillas made 177 appearences to Buffons 124, should make the choice clear especially considering they are the two goalkeepers with the most appearences in the champions league and Casillas has that many more appearences than Buffon on top of winning it 3 times to Buffons 0 (even though Buffon made 3 finals). So honestly anytime Casillas is not picked in an all time champions league XI, I consider it a disgrace to San Iker's legacy.

Sure some might pick for instant Ronaldinho in their XI, but honestly he wouldn't even belong in the conversation. Yes, he was tremendous, but I feel when it's competition based, you have to account for accolades, even if your opinion is that you prefer another player than the one you want to pick.
