nice list but dts what they think.....I think messi is supposed to be ontop of that list because to me he is ahead of pele..
his only fault was not winning a trophy with his country but even if he did, they would still find another way to criticize him and pls dt doesn't take anything away from our GOAT because no player came close to the agentine alien when he was at his peak days in europe not even Pele or cr7 because bk then, the media ran out of words to define him going by the countless magical nights he gave us each matchdays winning soo many big and hard matches on his own..
he made playing football look easy, made dribbling look like he is in his garden with his kids n made scoring goals looks unreal like PS game and also the awards and numbers he did shattered the records book and NO player in this generation can reach his mark in Spain or in Europe....YES I SAID SO...

I partially agree with you. I believe Pele should be no 1 because he won 3 World cups which is not beans.
However Ronaldo delima should be 4th while yohan cruyff like 5. Also Ronaldinho should be ahead of Zidane too.

I concur with the ranking. It is difficult to break Pele record. World cup is the peak of soccer. His world cup win would have been up to 4 if not for injury that sent him out in 1966. He is skillful and very fast with the ball.

We didn't actually see Pele play and so they might have deceived us he was good, maybe not. I quite agree with others but Ronaldo De Lima was an exceptional talent. He should have been higher up than that.

Go to the Internet and download clips of his game. No one has an international goal scoring ratio like Pele till date. 79 goals in 92 appearance. Who does that?

I never watched pele play but i watchef his highlight..Bleep the man is nt from here...closely like messi of this era...he could do anything with the ball...messi ofcourse should be in number 2 ...some ppke might argue and say its Ronaldo....but am sorry the rating is based i tink on how special playera were in ability And how much they lite up the pitch with the ball at their feets....if its about goal joan cruff And some wont make the list but this are players who makes football look do beautiful wen they play....Diego maradona was another...watched him a little...and his also a miracle with the ball....sale as delima....

Rating Pele ahead of Messi is just to respect his old age of 80years. Nothing more....It's a beg to pity..To me, Messi is Just Messi...others follow


Exactly my sentiment!!! no living being comes close to Messi in football, The day messi retires, world soccer would be thrown into mourning and this list would be revised by The BBC, this is just a subtle attempt to massage the ego of Pele @ 80.

For those asking about world cup trophy, it is a pity sentiments trumps reasoning sometimes, Kipembe and Giroud are world cup winners, they do not have the right to tie Messi's right boot, many average players have won world cup in the past, so trying to underplay the magnificent career of messi because of a 7 match international tournament is atrocious...... Messi is once in a lifetime player, It is a big pleasure to witness the start of his career right to his dwindling days.

Wetin pele play wey ronaldo and messi no play better.

Just like to hype ancient times....

Rubbish!

The GOAT battle is between ronaldo and messi..

And Ronaldo should top a reasonable list...he has conquered home and abroad.

From national team to England, to Spain and to italy...the consistent wicked record breaker and record creator.


Breaker of records, first of his name, Lord Ronaldo
You guys don't understand
Pele played when football was still SOCCER when football was not all about money,Battled racism,battled poverty,struggled for his place in the Brazilian national team and still played wonderfully.
Now football is just Business!
