kante or claude Makelele, who is better? Even add patrick viera to the comparison. Kante doesn't come close to these players in the defensive midfield role.

If not that Ronaldinho killed his own career with his own hands, he would have been far ahead of the second messi by a long distance. He ticked all the boxes when we talk about creativity, entertainment, results, goal scoring, free kicks and every other thing. His career ended within a very short period because he placed himself in self-destruct mode.
Ronaldinho was to unserious with his career. Always partying and showing up at training drunk.

Guardiola had to sell him before he influence Messi.

yeah but within the few years he was on top, we saw a brand and quality of football we have never seen with either messi or ronaldo. Ronaldinho was really on top. I still can't forget how he danced in front of chelsea defenders to score grin

FourFourTwo has ranked the 101 greatest footballers of the last 25 years and Messi and Ronaldo unsurprisingly make the top ten. Here is the list of the top ten:

1. LIONEL MESSI

If Cristiano Ronaldo is Rafael Nadal – never stopping in the relentless quest for perfection – then Messi is Roger Federer. The most naturally gifted athlete his sport has ever produced, the Argentine normalises the superhuman, achieving apparent perfection with an insouciant swish of his left foot.

“I feel sorry for those who want to compete for Messi’s throne,” Pep Guardiola once said. “It’s impossible, this kid is unique.”

Trying to make sense of Messi is to give up on football, to forget the reason why you first started watching in the first place, cross-legged in the front room or open-mouthed on the stands. Suspend your disbelief and follow what most opponents do. Admire.

2. CRISTIANO RONALDO

3. ZINEDINE ZIDANE

4. RONALDO

5. RONALDINHO

6. THIERRY HENRY

7. XAVI

8. ANDRES INIESTA

9. PAOLO MALDINI

10. ROBERTO BAGGIO

I'm a Kaka fan bro
I doubt it. Kaka was pure magic and efficiency in his prime. A lot of Nigerians didn't watch the Seria A then as they do now so I will excuse you. All people knew about Kaka was what they saw in the champions league. Kaka from 2003 - 2008 was almost as efficient, though not as skillful and magical, as Ronaldinho as an attacking midfielder for AC Milan.
