Greatest Dribblers In Football History

Diego Maradona and Messi was like watching the ball glued to their left foot such goats 🔥

[@Kosmouchkosmatakosmos]

No shit sherlock

[@danielkrome6640]

What is more crazier is el Fenómeno being a 9 striker would do the labor of a #10 #7 etcc at the same time. Compostela and Valencia the craziest thing my eyes have witnessed. Brutal acceleration too.

[@bigbreins9139]

Messi has a faster feet tho

Their short height gives them an advantage at dribbling unlike R9 and Ronaldinho who are much taller.

Iniesta is so underated in these all timer lists. He could dribble you walking. He had the best, most seamless ball control I've ever seen.

Meazza: one of the most complete players ever, arguably just as good as Pelé in terms of overall. Leonidas da Silva: contemporary of Meazza, the Pelé before Pelé himself. Omar Sivori: a very Maradona like dribbler. Sivori and Garrincha were the 2 best South American dribblers of the late 50s and early 60s. Beckenbauer: arguably the best dribbler cum defender ever. very elegant. Okocha: the idol of Ronaldinho, one of the most revolutionary dribblers ever.
