Messi was named the best football player
The Athletic magazine compiled a ranking of the top 100 football players in history, which sparked widespread discussion on social media. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to euro-football.ru, Lionel Messi took first place in the ranking.
Diego Maradona and Pele took second and third places respectively. The top ten also included legendary footballers such as Johan Cruyff, Cristiano Ronaldo, Alfredo di Stefano, Franz Beckenbauer, Zinedine Zidane, Ferenc Puskás, and Michel Platini.
It is noted that ensuring absolute impartiality in compiling this ranking is difficult. Therefore, heated debates arose among football fans on the Reddit platform.
Some were dissatisfied that Pele, a three-time world champion, was placed third. Another noteworthy point is that goalkeeper Lev Yashin ranked 18th on this list.
Rankings like these provide an opportunity to remember the great players in football history once again and create a platform for various opinions and discussions.
