Who is the greatest football in history? It’s a question with no right or wrong answer. The older generation tend to side with the likes of Diego Maradona, Pele or George Best, while those who are younger choose between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Virtually every football fan has a differing opinion on what makes a player the finest the sport has ever seen. In the eyes of some, if a footballer hasn’t guided their country to World Cup glory like Pele, Maradona and Zinedine Zidane for example, they simply cannot be considered as the GOAT.
Neither Messi or Ronaldo have won football’s biggest prize, but in turn, their superhuman stats in the highly-competitive modern era speak for themselves.
Basically, choosing the GOAT is impossible and there will never, ever be a definitive answer to the question. But that doesn’t mean people can’t provide their take on the matter.
