Recently, the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) announced the top 10 best players in history. Messi topped Pele and Maradona after surpassing Pele and Maradona, Ronaldo ranked fourth, and "Alien" Ronaldo ranked 6th, ranking ahead of Zidane and Beckenbauer. In the era of Mello, the influence was huge, just like Beckenbauer and Cruyff back then, the competition between Messi and Ronaldo also achieved mutual achievements between superstars. Both achieved the Grand Slam of Club and Personal Honors, Messi ranked high because of his World Cup championship, and Ronaldo had to come to the bottom because of his lack of the Hercules Cup. Thanks to his outstanding performance in La Liga and Champions League and the formation of global influence in the new media era, Messi's ranking is reasonable before Pele and Maradona.

"Aliens" rank too high, and the football emperor is underestimated

Despite his outstanding performance in the World Cup, Ronaldo's performance at the club level is relatively mediocre. He has no Champions League title and few league titles. Beckenbauer and Zidane's resume at the club and national team level have become perfect, and their personal and team honors are also better. Ronaldo can get a higher ranking, and the title of "Alien" has played a great role in blessing.

The "goalkeeper" on this list is Ronaldinho, but he does not have the name of Platini. The former has the Hercules Cup and the Champions League, and is the spokesperson for "Dream 2". The latter also has the Champions League and has performed irrepeated miracles in the 1984 European Cup. Which of the two has a higher status is a matter of wisdom.
