messi is always the best….skills like no other..though ronaldo scored for real madrid but the truth remained Messi is the best..He played very well but villa wasted some chances.
Messi is just the best and i am quite sure the best ever in history…

I dont understand how vidic misses out on this list.. he’s better than pique anyday…and besides how come ronaldo is ranked below iniesta who missed the early months of 2010 with injury?But Leo Messi is without a doubt the best player in the world…i do tink dat the la liga bias could have been avoided…

I think by the time Messi hangs up his boots he will unanimously be the greatest player ever, World Cup or no World Cup.

WC still IS and WILL be in the future the true benchmark.

There have been 55 Europeans cups to 19 WC Final matches.

Reason for this is simple.

Rarity | Pressure | Mistakes

CL isn’t rare,
Countries and Nationalism is still strong in greater parts of the World. Clubs don’t compare.
You can have 2 off nights and still have a Great chance of winning CL in the coming 5 years.

You have 2 off seconds,
You may go your entire living life coming nowhere near the “Golden Globe”, let alone lift it.

You can’t deny Messi is the best in the world.

But I have to agree with the comments throughout the countdown that some players are unrealistically ranked higher than others.

Pique for example. Ferguson doesn’t usually get it wrong with players. He knew Pique couldn’t hack to Premier League so he let him go home. La Liga is such a poor quality league outside of Barca, Real and maybe a couple more, that any half-decent defender can look good. Just look at Marcelo at Real Madrid.
