Ronaldo Nazario is considered by many as the complete forward. He was the star player of the Brazil side which won the 2002 World Cup and reached the final at the France tournament in 1998.
Ronaldinho, another Brazilian superstar, was famous for his permanent smile. He was gifted with great individual skills and was considered one of the most electrifying players and possessed a huge bag of tricks with the ball.
Football owes a lot to Maradona. He is still regarded by many as the best player in history and stood out for his lethal left foot. An idol in Argentina, he lifted the 1986 World Cup with his national team and his ‘Hand of God’ goal against England in that tournament is still discussed today.
Messi has been challenging Maradona for the title of the best player in history and to many he already deserves to be considered as such. He can make the difference in any game even when he is not in his best physical form, he can create, he can finish, he can do literally everything.
Garrincha, the third Brazilian on this list, marked an era in world football and his footballing genius gave birth to the phrase “the joy of the people.”
If anyone is synonymous of magic, it must be Zinedine Zidane. The current Real Madrid was a reference player in world football in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He is the only European on this list and possibly the most classy player of all time.
