Cryuff was just an overrated clown like Pele and Maradona... Why are you unhappy??
Criyff is the European GOAT of the 20th century!!

He is still considered to be the best European player in history till now, considering the fact that Cristiano has no World cup legacy!!!

All these are your logic..
You can sort it out as you wish!!

Your logic says Mustafi is better than Maldini because of the World cup trophy!!

What else do you want to tell us??

That Pedro is far better than Raul ??grin grin grin grin grin
Yes that why I tell you Alexis Sanchez is better than Messi.

Alexis Sanchez won the Copa America itself and it's golden ball

You be clown.... Zidane is bigger than all Barcelona ever players
Stop overhyping Zizou..

He is not among the top 9 players of all time!!

Di Stefano, Puskas, Platini, Beckenbauer, Cristiano, Cruyff, Maradona, Pele and Messi are all better players than Zizou!!

Why?? Because he has Argetina Aiyegbeni as a Striker !!!

Benzema is better than him undecided

Maradona is one world cup wonder who beat the system by escaping red card and 1 match ban in the World cup after a handball goal in a knock-out stage (He would be sent out of the world cup for that offence in this era)

He is largely a Napoli's Mahrez tho!! Carrying a Leicester kinda team to win the Scudeto..

But he is overpraised and overexaggerated because of his flashy style and dark style on the field.. He is just a dark artist loved in his time!!

Pele?? 50's and 60's era Legend.. Great but overpampered with god-like kind of praise!!

Cruyff, on the other hand is pure football... He revolutionised Football under a world best ever Coach!!!
He was exceptional

For IFFHS to vote him as the European GOAT, you should know that he was something else!!!
He was praised within his limit, he was never overpampered or overpraised like Maradona and Pele!!!

Messi had Argetina Aiyegbeni as a Striker.. Don't you understand??

Messi has won every individual awards in the history of Football!!!

The joke is on all players hiding under team Trophies!!!

Messi is far better than all of them!!

He is the best of all time cool

Is Mustafi better than Maldini?? grin grin grin
Did you just say all individual awards, cr7 won more my brother

Iniesta

Kaka was not better than Iniesta. If there was no CR7 and Messi in the era of Iniesta, he would have won it.
Iniesta is not an attacker, Kaka is an attacker.
Moreover, these days balon d'or is awarded to highest goalscorers unlike before.. If there was another highest goalscorer apart from Messi and Ronaldo, he would win it

Cristiano has no world cup legacy
No Individual awards in National teams tournament
No World best playmaker award
No Golden ball or Golden boot for Portugal!!

Cristiano has not won any major individual award since VAR introduced too!!

Cristiano was a great Pre-VAR era Legend tho!!!

But IFFHS vote Pele as football GOAT, with cryuff coming third behind Pele and Maradona, hence, if Pele and Maradona who came 1st and 2nd are overrated, then the person who came third is also overrated... Don't you think??

Argetina vs Chile in 2015 Penalty shootout

Messi scored his Penalty goal

All Argetina players lost all their penalties...

Also, let's revise Man United vs Chelsea Penalty shootout in 2008 UCL final grin grin
