This is bias.....
Sergio Ramos should be there.
C. Ronaldo should be there
Zidane should be there.
How won't there be any player from the team that won champions league back to back to back.

C Ronaldo is the second best player that ever played football everybody knows that,.... though he finished himself from fans wen he and his myopic fans are trying to steal glory of a CHILD (🐐) that divinely ordained.

Anyone that watched Ronaldinho at his peak will know he's arguably one of the best players ever.

He is the last breed of the true Brazilian football (except for Neymar who didn't quite get there)

The years Ronaldinho won best players of the year, it was so undisputed even with a peak Thierry Henry.

C Ronaldo, is no doubt good and he scores goals, but he's not halfway a complete footballer as Ronaldinho was.

Unfortunately, football this days is evaluated based on numbers and statistics.

By the way, you can't be a Barca fan, except you've only recently become one

Honestly, who Penaldo wan bench for that team?
Penaldo should tell us the player he can bench there, then we can argue it out for him.
Penaldo can't even bench Romario that's if they decide to include Romario...
Even the Ronaldo Nazario wasn't as successful like Cristiano Ronaldo in football. In fact C Ronaldo is even far much better, because at 30 Ronaldo was still doing great and even won the ballon door, but at 30 Ronaldo Nazario was nothing to write about.

The only place Delima Ronaldo was more successful than C Ronaldo was at the national level, and it was all because of the Brazil national team dominance in football those days.

you have zero idea who RONALDINHO is.
I love Ronaldo over messi, but you see that guy you just mentioned? That guy is not human, he is a smiling demon.
I would give up everything I have to rewind time and watch Ronaldinho play live against Madrid but I wouldn't lose sleep even if Ronaldo came to play a friendly in Nigeria.

I'm a Messi Fan, But CR7 surely deserve a place in that XI.

Zico ahead of Cr7? No oh.

Even Delima sef, History will remember Cr7 more than him.

Prime Cr7 is a better player than De lima was, let's forget sentiments.

These are all great players.
For the goalkeeper position, I would put Dino Zoff ahead of Buffon for his clean sheet records that still remain unbroken till date.
Then, I will exclude Zico because he never won the world cup. I think think the greatest eleven players of all times should include only those who had won the ultimate prize in football, the world cup. Otherwise, Lev Yashin and Cristiano Ronaldo should be in the team. In Zico's place, I would select Zinedine Zidane.
For balance, I would remove one of the forwards and add a holding midfielder. So I would remove Ronaldinho and add Lothar Matthaus

My final team:
Goalkepper: Dino Zoff
Defenders: Cafu, Franz Beckenbauer, Paolo Maldini, Roberto Carlos.
Midfielders: Lothar Matthaus, Diego Maradona, Zinedine Zidane
Forwards: Lionel Messi, Pele, Ronaldo Nazario De Lima.

Is there a better team than this?

We all know Penaldo is a successful player but he knows he is not different from De' Stafino, Joan Cryff, Eusebio, and Zlatan....
IF you truly know the roles Ronaldo Fenomeno played in Brazil, you won't be typing this thing.
Besides Penaldo's success in penalty taking and being Injury free through out his career, what other success can be ahead of that of fenomeno...

CR7 should at least get a world cup BRONZE MEDAL before we can sit and negotiate his entry into world's soccer hall of fame.

Whatever Ronaldo achieved has been eclipsed by Cristiano Ronaldo 5 fold. When I hear Ronaldo my mind hardly goes to El-fenomeno.

It's his opinion anyway.

Penaldo should carry one world cup before lifting 2 like Ronaldo Fenomeno did....
The players on that list, all have their FIFA WORLD CUP MEDALS displayed in their living rooms...
Europe is not world cup.
Pele didn't lift UEFA...but you can't draw up such without him...

The Most Lethal 9 in History has said it all.

The only 9 who ensured Brazil got to 3 world cup finals in a row and he won 2 world cups for Brazil.

Check well and you will find Ronaldo in that list
The writer has nothing doing in that list

As long as soccer ⚽️ is concerned
World 🌎 has only four players that you can't discuss about soccer without mentioning them
Two is late now while.the other two are still playing though as it stands it certain that their playing years.are numbered

If a team was 1 goal down and have to bring in someone in their prime to change things, most coaches will pick Ronaldinho over Messi or CR7
