Diego Armando Maradona. So good you have to say his full name

[@kiely4561]

Drogba and carlos know whats up, Ronaldo Nazario was the greatest striker I’ve ever seen, i think its a generational thing though, you remember most fondly the players you played with or grew up watching.

[@user-mv7kh5sv9z]

I did not grow up in Maradona's era but I appreciate how great he was. However, the current generation tends to be dismissive abt players that has played before their time.

[@abdifatahosman1638]

i think the older generation does it too especially when they see game changing players like mbappe etc @@user-mv7kh5sv9z

FACTS!!

[@tyranthunder6666]

When you’re known as the phenomenon you are goated. R9 🐐

[@Neo-oq3rx]

Prime R9 is the GOAT. My mind will never ever change on that. I’d put him up against any player in history with confidence

[@Woze899]

Absolutely

[@ModernFootball866]

Prime Messi was better

[@oxygengraphafonadelaverberator]

Messi is the GOAT. Goals scored, assists, playmaker, dribbler, eyes in the back of his head, intelligence far above anyone else on the pitch, multiple La Lisa's, World Cup Winner. You really gotta hate either football or Argendjna or be blind to think otherwise. Maradona I'm sure would be similar bur never saw him much

[@stephonlutchman6820]

​@@oxygengraphafonadelaverberatorBro that is just your opinion, everyone has their favorites... Messi doesn't even think he is the greatest

[@oxygengraphafonadelaverberator]

[@geoman3250]

i personally think R9 is the greatest player i have ever seen ....... and he fulfilled possibly only 60% of his potential. Which makes sad when i think about but also I'm grateful that i saw his whole career.... only one phenomenon.

[@Oscar-lz2mv]

A part of a human beings potential is capacity for discipline and longevity. He didn't have enough of that to be called the greatest, similar to Hazard

[@doublegameghy1684]

​@@Oscar-lz2mvhe dare you Compare Hazard with R9, two time world cup winner, 3 time finalist consecutively? . Kid go sleep. I am Argentinian fan boy, but I never see in my life such a talented and skill full player.

Imao the first wcup he never even played a single minute and was just an unused sub bench player who was very young to play at such a level in Wcup 94.So stop with the riding.And which are these 2 european competitions he won??Ur deluded,the last time I checked R9 is south american n the fact is he never won the Ucl in any of his clubs despite playing with some of the very best.So zip it man.

[@mrfeather2732]

the list comes down to many different things. but if we are talking about pure football ability its between Messi & R9. I would go Messi just cause R9 wasn't able to fulfill his career cause of injuries.

Just imagine Maradona in today's era with easy free kicks and cards from tackles. He'd either have a goal / game ratio like CR7 & Messi, or he'd disqualify the opponent after getting 5 players sent off every other game. Same with prime R9, just watch that pace and quick elasticos!

Would love to watch maradona, R9 and zidane in todays game the fact being chose over messi and Ronaldo shows how good they was

[@desmondachocky537]

Its a biase take.Players like Roberto carlos n park were smoked by Messi.N Figo is the most hated villain in Barcelona plus he's portuguese so u would understand why he would pick Cr7 and R9 ahead of Messi being also both played fr Madrid a club he played fr during the Galacticos.It's not an objective take.But I agree R9 is the greatest striker in history in terms of ability alone but in terms of overall greatness he's not in top 3,maybe top 5.Coz I believe Messi,maradona n pelle are more complete footballers than he was.And Zidane??C'mon!No ones gona believe Zizou was as great as Messi.Thats a joke of the century.Two totally different players n zizou belongs in the 2nd tier of all time greats.The first tier are untouchables Messi,Pelle and Maradona.

Winning a seven game WC competition with brilliant teams does not overtake the records of CR7. The best ever, absolutely incomparable!

[@michaeltrumph121]

@@It14f-37 He played in a soft era and league, for an uber stacked team, so those 800 goals and 10 La Liga don't impress me much, other ATGs would have easily replicated that. He only has 3 UCL, even UEFA say so. He was a sub in 2006, Ronaldinho was running the show at Barca back then, Messi had little to no merit in winning that UCL. He won 1 Copa America in countless attempts, and it was the weakest level in decades. At one point they were organizing Copa America almost every year so he could finally win one. His 2022 World Cup was rigged. As for my concept of overrated, you need to look up what that word means. It doesn't mean someone isn't good, it means he's not as good as he's being portrayed. Greatness wise, Messi is in my opinion no. 5 all time. Great, but not the greatest.

Every time I see a video asking who the best player ever was the name of Diego Maradona pops up, I wonder why? But my opinion is that only those who played football to a decent level and had great natural talent can appreciate that what Diego did takes the most effort and talent to achieve. The key word here is "Talent". Messi did crazy numbers, never had an big injury, had the most professional and dedicated teams looking after his health, family etc; was as professional as you can possibly be, had the very best talent of his generation playing next to him etc etc but I personally think that in Pure raw talent Maradona was still superior. My list is Maradona, Pele and Messi. Sorry, I forgot; is Rio being friendly with CR7 by putting him in the list?

[@thetruth6099]

That’s it, I said it many times before - Diego Armando Maradona has to be on the top but no body from gen Z wanna listen to me. What he achieved on those muddy fields with mostly average players against all odds and let’s not forget defenders who mostly wanted to disable him is amazing. One for sure no one of the top ever had - the sheer will to win at all cost. The leadership he commanded, 1990 World Cup barely walking due to injuries he pushed Argentina to the finals and almost won. Messi is certainly right next to him they are so similar but Messi don’t have the other qualities I just mention well, you guys just so/ heard what legends just said. Case closed
