Football, the most famous sport on the planet, has produced some great legends who have left an indelible mark on football fans’ imaginations. Is it even possible to choose the greatest football players ever? We’ve tried to accomplish that with this article. We tried to divide the selection into three primary variables, despite the fact that it was a difficult task: Ability to win single-handedly in matches, endurance, and performance under duress.
Michel Platini is ranked tenth on this list. Zinedine Zidane, one of the best footballers of all time, may probably be considered France’s greatest ever player. Johan Cruyff was the most influential player and person in the history of the sport. Ronaldo Nazario, better known as ‘O Fenomeno,’ is arguably the best striker in the game’s history. Alfredo Di Stefano had a 20-year career in which he was consistently among the best footballers in the world. With his performance against Brazil in the 1998 World Cup final, Zidane first cemented his reputation as a truly world-class player.
Cristiano Ronaldo was found by Sir Alex Ferguson as a precociously brilliant youth at Sporting CP, and it was at Manchester United that the Portuguese superstar sealed his position as one of our generation’s finest players. Lionel Messi, the Barcelona superstar, is unquestionably one of the finest players of our generation, alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
Diego Maradona’s entire identity as a player and as a person was most likely captured in that tragic 1986 World Cup encounter against England. Pele, the legendary Brazilian footballer, is usually recognized as the best player of all time. He has won more World Cups than any other player, which should be enough to earn his place at the top of our list.
