yeh maradona was too good.

A great combination of explosiveness and sheer talent.

And the personality that lacks any form of discipline. Ronaldo’s mentality itself trumps 10 maradonas

This whole GOAT debate or claim is pointless imo.

By saying a specific player is the GOAT you're already forgetting or devaluing how many greats this sport had over the years.

The biggest clubs all had players that could be called GOAT in their own time and areas of the pitch.

Here I'm talking about the likes of Barca, Real Madrid, Juve, Bayern, Milan and probably Ajax as well. These clubs are filled with legendary players of their own.

It's the same as it's always been: support your club legends and give them generous nickname.

There are many legends but can only be one GOAT until he is surpassed. The GOAT was arguably one of Pele and Maradona before Cristiano showed up.

Disagreed.

Then who is the defensive GOAT, the midfield GOAT etc?

Football is more than just attackers and scoring goals, you also gotta defend and win the battle in the midfield. Hence I'm tired of this debate between Messi and Ronaldo.

True goalscorers are very impressive, but you're too focused on them. Football is a team sport, Messi and Ronaldo would never have achieved what they did without some highly skilled players around them.

attackers are more important and decisive, only natural that the GOAT will be an attacker.

Many will trash me for saying this but for me Pele not proving himself in the best leagues puts him down the pecking order for me.

Maradona is number 1...then others follow.

Midfielders, defenders and goalkeepers will disagree with you big time there.

Attackers are just more in focus because they score the goals. But without some sort of defensive organisation you simply won't win the biggest titles.

Italy at this Euro is a good example about how you can achieve big things while playing as a team. They didn't have the best squad on paper and weren't among the favorites, but they had the best team hence they won it all.

Oh yeah? All we hear is Chiellinis and Piques of the world claiming either Ronaldo or Messi is the GOAT.

In their respective positions they might be. But again, football is not just decided by the attacking players.

no one said that, I said attackers are MORE decisive.

 

[BayernFan]

Both yes and no.

And it depends on your playstyle.

But attackers are way more appreciated because goals is what we remember. You win the game by scoring enough goals but without quality defenders and midfielders how many goals would you need to score that way? Just saying.

agreed, the more talented and dangerous players always end up in attack

Agree, number 1 in cocaine sniffing, lul.

but talent wise you cnt deny maradona was something else,.

Seems like a lot of players shave their legs now.

Its not only in football, it is in everything. Even in videogames. The ones who rack the kills are the stars of the show. Always has been and always will be.IN football its the same, the ones who scores the goals will always shine brighter than the rest, sooverall they will be more taken in consideration for GOAT titles.
