I can't speak from personal experience as I was not alive to watch Maradona and Platini. However, when I asked my uncles (Juventus fans) who was better between Platini and Zidane, they scoffed and immediately opted for Platini. It wasn't a debate for them. They maintain Platini is still the best player that they have witnessed in their life times.

You want a true red-pilled take? From 2013-early 2014 Vidal was the best player on the planet not named Ronaldo or Messi. Literally a 9.5+ at every facet of the game and could be world-class at any position.

I was so hopeful for a diamond midfield of Regista Marchisio, Pogba, Khedira and Vidal, that would have been without a shadow of a doubt the best midfield on the planet. And the fact that we didn't even secure a proper replacement for Vidal after leaving... Gotze
