CR7 to retire tonight in a last ditch attempt to steal the headlines
Lionel Messi is OFFICIALLY the Greatest Player of all Time (CONFIRMED OFFICIAL)
- Thread starter Pexbo
- Start date
Just a shame he'll hold the mantle for just a few years as his successor was on the pitch today.
Yeah. Its officially over for his generation. I'm not sure where I fall on the Pele/Maradona/Messi but this is a huge for Messi
Clear at what?? scoring a third of messi's goals? spending 80% of his career at shite clubs?
The only one who compares to Messi is Ronaldo but even he's dropped off whilst Messi is picking up World Cups
Easily and without doubt.
What an absolutely perfect career. You can't fault anything in it.
Nah, its over. Let it go.
He's no Wout Weghorst.
Messi timed it better then!
He really must think he’s living a dream right now. I bet his season at PSG falls apart now after this
Ronaldo screwed Ronaldo
Moves into my best 3 now.
Nothing official about it but he is the greatest 
To be replaced by Mbappe one day probably
Ronaldo's 3-peat of the CL didn't end the debate but a 4 week cup tournament does?
Yeah there is absolutely no dispute for me. There is nothing else, he is cleared himself as the greatest.
I still don't get the bizarre fascination with monikers and taglines. And it's impossible to compare across eras.
He is. For me this was the only question mark I had between him and Maradona.
Tonight he is officially the greatest of all time for me.

He sits alongside Pele & Maradona now for sure. Feel bad for Mbappe he couldn't have done anymore to help France what a performance, surely he will still win the Golden Ball.
Yep. Ronaldo is a chump
Mbappe needs multiple Champions Leagues. I think he could be a GOAT if he does it with multiple teams
Ronaldo was never in the debate truth be told, Mbappe could soon usurp him too.
Which better players? Have you watched this World cup? He was head and shoulders above everyone else in this Argentina team.
Iconic photo coming up
Nope.
What do you mean timed it better? He was miles from Rio, Rio didn't even jump
He is. It is indisputable now.
Oh come on dont down play it
The world cup is the pinnacle and everybody knows it
Ask Ronaldo if he'd swap those CL's for a WC and he would.
Yeah he now has what Maradona and Pele had over him, that puts him ahead of those. It was never between Ronaldo and Messi, that debate was over a decade ago. Ronaldo is closer to the third best player of this generation than Messi.
No he's not. He's not a role model in behavior. Greatest of all time is not Messi. Just cause he's won a World Cup doesn't mean he's the GOAT.
National football is much poorer than club football in my view.

GOAT.
Drop that mic.
Drop that mic.
He’s the best I’ve ever seen and that’s all I care about. And I’ll probably never see another player so incredible to watch in my lifetime.
Can't deny it. Much better than Ronaldo. It's a top 3 now:
Messi, Maradona & Pele.
Messi, Maradona & Pele.
GOAT! No question at this point.
He already was.
Carried by Lautaro
He can build on this further and even give few quality years more.
Maradona
Pele
Messi.
Pele
Messi.
