The 50 Greatest Player Of All Time Have Been Ranked ; Ronaldo, Messi, Pele by Nobody: 2:26pm On Apr 24, 2021 |
There have been so many great players in the history of football. Pele won three World Cups with Brazil and scores hundreds of goals in his career. Diego Maradona also has a case when it comes to crowning the greatest player of all time, having done some extraordinary things on the football pitch. 50. Luka Modric 49. John Charles 48. Robert Lewandowski 47. Jairzinho 46. Omar Sivori 45. Paulo Rossi 44. Paul Breitner 43. George Weah 42. Kaka 41. Lev Yashin Modric and Lewandowski haven't hung up their boots yet but have both made the list. Weah, one of the greatest African players of all time, makes the list just below Kaka and Russian legend Yashin. 40. Gunnar Nordahl 39. Sandor Kocsis 38. Kevin Keegan 37. Hristo Stoichcov 36. Gianluigi Buffon 35. Johan Neeksens 34. Xavi 33. Luis Suarez [ESP] 32. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge 31. Andres Iniesta Buffon, now 43, is still going strong at Juventus. He's the best goalkeeper ever In 90min's view. Barcelona's incredible midfield duo, Xavi and Iniesta, are separated by just three places in 34th and 31st respectively. 30. Rivelino 29. Bobby Moore 28. Socrates 27. Lothar Mattheus 26. Ronaldinho 25. Ruud Gullit 24. Bobby Charlton 23. Guiseppe Meazza 22. Raymond Kopa 21. Romario Moore and Charlton, legends at West Ham and Man United respectively, both make the top 30. They were both inspirational as England won the World Cup in 1966. Ronaldinho, one of the most entertaining players ever, just misses out on a spot in the top 25. That seems a bit low, it must be said. Ronaldinho had his flaws and his time at the top was not long but he was a special, special player. 20. Eusebio 19. Marco van Basten 18. George Best 17. Zico 16. Franco Baresi 15. Ferenc Puskas 14. Paolo Maldini 13. Gerd Muller 12. Mane Garrincha 11. Alfredo Di Stefano Man United legend Best makes the top 20, just ahead of Van Basten. Maldini is the highest ranked defender on the list, coming in at 14th. 10. Roberto Baggio 9. Michel Platini 8. Zinedine Zidane 7. Cristiano Ronaldo 6. Ronaldo Nazario 5. Johan Cruyff 4. Franz Beckenbauer 3. Lionel Messi 2. Pele 1. Diego Maradona Messi being in third is also controversial. Are there really two better players in history than the Barcelona legend? Pele takes second, behind Maradona. Both players did some extraordinary things at international level and that is why they've been ranked ahead of Messi. That, of course, is a valid argument but one that many won't agree with.

Rubbish list. If VAR was there in the old times, then more than half of their goals wouldn't be counted. |
