The Top Ten

1 Lionel Messi Lionel Messi Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club Barcelona. He is also known as one of the greatest football players of all time. He was born in Rosario, Argentina on June 24th, 1987.

Who cares if Ronaldo is good Messi is better lie they say, to cover Ronaldo you check his right foot but for Messi you pray to god

Lionel Messi is absolutely better than Cristiano Ronaldo. He scored more goals than Ronaldo, his passes are more accurate than Ronaldo, he always leads his team and won nearly every match he played. Sometimes, he has chance to score but he passes the ball to his teammate. He also lets his teammate to have the penalty when his teammate doesn't score in that match. He is by far the best footballer in history. I respect Cristiano Ronaldo, but I have to say Lionel Messi is better. - RichardSSG

Zlatan Ibrahimovic should be at top 3 in this list, I can't believe he's number 5, Van Persie and Falcao have no match for him. He's the only tall person who has Messi and Ronaldo skills. Truly a beast. - RichardSSG

How is RVP and falcao better it isn't even close his ability is way better than the rest
