10 - Lionel Messi - v4

[Qqqq]

Isnt Ladrup considered one of the best dribblers of all time or am i missing something here? Messi might be a better dribbler, but if Ladrup wasnt even near as good at it, he shouldnt be considered as such. I have not watched Ladrup so i dont really know.

Hahaha, my bad. I forgot the "ly" in "nearly". Laudrup was good, Iniesta-good.

Messi voted best Champions League player of all time

Online vote conducted by MasterCard. Interesting that his highest proportion of votes was among people who were 55 and older.

And that he won the votes in every country except Portugal (CR) and France (Zidane)

 

[6 Ballons for Messi]

Yeah, cristiano was 3rd and beckam 4th, lol at the people who voted.
At least they got messi right.

 

[raskolnikov]

Seriously, Beckham and Ronaldo...

just cl Top 5 should be:

Messi
Raul
Maldini
Xavi
Cristiano

Arguably you could add Iniesta, Seedorf, Zidane, giggs, Van der Sar, Sheva, Eto'o, Casillas.

the difference between messi and the rest will only grow as time goes by, too.

No love for Busquets. It is sad. The silent masterclass. Only the coaches appreciate him...

Busquets is nowhere close to being the greatest Champions League player of all time. lmao.

If people want to be known as great they need to show themselves out there. Busquets only chooses to be great in the shadows or rather that he is overshadowed.

tbh there are 6 other guys in the starting team that shine better then he does in that aspect.

Doesnt this just prove my point? He is the silent masterclass, who no one notices (except the coaches of course) except when he doesnt play because Barcelona is simply not the same team without him. He doesnt score and he doesnt assist. To me, he is our most important player after Messi, and I believe that was the case for Spain's Del Bosque and Pep Guardiola as well (up there with Xavi).

Just Imagine what you would have felt like had you been in camp nou just behind neuer witnessing those goals.

It was weird for me at home. Ran across my place after the first and got back just in time for the second which positively stunned me. Didn't even get off my chair or yell. It was bizarre

"I've never seen something like that in a 16 years old kid. At the end of the match I went to tell Rikjaard that they already had three foreign players, to get a loan on him. He told me they were already working on that and he would be playing for them in a couple months. I asked Juventus to sing him, but he wasn't available as Barcelona didn't want to sell him. During half time most of our players were talking about how good and fast he was" - Fabio Capello.

Hehehe this must be like the 5th time this vid is posted by now

Still good though !

Laudrap and iniesta same level imo. Iniesta at his peak can be comparable to messi, that is how good he was.
