Who?
I saw Zidane alot of times..
Never actually saw Platini beside old clip from Youtube. Still i think Platini is either 1 tier above Zidane, or same level..

And tbh who the idiots here, bitching this and that, but i suspect never actually saw both playing.

Not really... Zizo could be in a second group like D'stefano, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Eusebio... Only Messi have a chance to be with the other two IMO, CR7 is goal machine but far from being as important as the other two were, Portugal even won with him out of the field. D'stefano won everything with RM and noone consider him at the level of Pele or Maradona.

if CR isnt, then Messi isnt either. he lost too much with the NT when he had top players all around him

Zidane has better technique, vision, first touch and class than both of them. Cristiano and Messi are just more effective
Zidane is better individually but these 2 achieved more, amongst other things because of super teams built to their strengths and playing in a more offense focused era of football

Zidane also outclasses them both in regards to National team football. Real leader and more of a legend for me (controversial but I stand by it).

yep. Messi choked away multiple WCs and Copas for his NT (amongst most talent stacked in the world), during majority of these he was considered the best player in the world at that point. Ronaldo atleast has the excuse of a weaker NT to play for, but his early teams were also stacked (Figo, Deco, Carvalho, Pauleta etc). Zidane is one of the best ever in international football. the only other time in history France was relevant was when they had Platini, and he won WC and Euro with them, while losing another WC final

Even comparing them is dumb.

But so is saying Xavi and Iniesta are better than Zidane.

If Guti had better discipline he'd be better then Zidane. Had Balotelli decided not to go apeshit crazy he'd be 2nd coming of Van Basten.

One of my older friends who is Milanista told me that Platini was hugely overrated and that he considers him a little above average player. :howler:

Must be infected by Galliani's opinion that Dugarry was a better signing than Zidane.

I don't rate Zidane that highly actually. He's definietly top tier but I'd say definietly not top 5 all time. More like top 20 ish. Like I don't think he even gets into the "All Time XI" bench IMO
