In relation to the GOAT debate, I will identify groups of people rather than a single individual.
I won't diminish their excellence in any way that would be disrespectful to what they have contributed to the game of football.
Maradona and Pele both have the record for greatest player of all time in their respective eras. Pele winning the World Cup in light of his participation in the competition and the differences between the old and new football regulations.
Pele, Maradona, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo de Lima, Messi, and Christiano Ronaldo will always remain the top players.
Exists the GOAT? NO and YES However, in light of various historical periods and goat lists.
Because of the circumstances, it is impossible to compare players from the 1950s to those from the 1970s, 1980s, and so on. Could Messi, Ronaldo, and the so-called goats of this generation do it with a heavier leather ball from that time?
Leo can arguably be the best of his generation, and we are fortunate to have seen him; however, enjoy him and CR7 while we can. It is difficult to compare players from different generations because the game has changed so much. The removal of the tackle from behind has liberated attacking players. Wonderful God given talents 👍👍 . But it won’t make sense to ignore Cristiano Ronaldo for all the records, achievement and legacy he has laid down in the world of football. Records that will take years or decades to be broken but breakable.
Remember that when Pele or Maradona played for their clubs, we were not allowed to see any of the great goals they scored. Apparently, Maradona scored many unseen wonder goals for Napoli.
Just review what Maradona did and who he did it to.
The only player to win it seven times without ever playing in Europe was Pelé, who also won the World Cup championship trophy three times, the first time at the age of 17 and the second time at the age of 21.
For me the all time GOAT is Pele(he won 3 World Cups) in his era.
Maradona in his.
and the list goes on according to ERA 😀
So fill in your own GOAT 🐐 according to ERA 🐐 or how you feel…
