Post Body

1) Messi

2) Maradona

3) Cristiano Ronaldo

4) Luis Suarez

5) Cruyff

IMO all Pele has to his name are his world cups which he won in a Brazil team full of superstars that would have won at least half of his world cups without him playing. This was also during an era where defending wasn't as solid as it is currently and in general the level of skill wasn't as high back then. Could be recency bias but there is data to support that the newer generation of players is better than the previous.

And I'm ready for y'all to slander my Luis Suarez choice but I'm sticking to it lmao
