The ranking of the top 100 football players in history sparked debate

The ranking of the top 100 football players in history compiled by The Athletic publication is causing widespread discussions on social media. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

According to euro-football.ru, the top ten players on this list are: Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, Pele, Johan Cruyff, Cristiano Ronaldo, Alfredo di Stefano, Franz Beckenbauer, Zinedine Zidane, Ferenc Puskás, and Michel Platini.
