Maradona and Pele have a long history of bickering over who is the greatest footballer of all time, and the Brazilian recently told FIFA.com: "I was born to play football, just like Beethoven was born to write music and Michelangelo was born to paint."
At a press conference, Al-Wasl coach Maradona responded: "If Pele thinks he's the Beethoven of football then I'm Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards and the Bono of football, because I have so much passion.
"Pele has said he's the Beethoven of football. I've never heard any Beethoven music in a match so, as I've told you before, anytime he takes the wrong pill he comes up with a crazy statement.
"Pele may have taken the morning pills at night time, so he should make sure he takes the right pills. In fact it would be better if he changed his doctor."

Better than Messi? Zi zou has to wait behind Ronaldo 9 of Brasil and Romario. On the other tiers is pele and Diego.

[Jangle]

Right now all Messi needs is to win a WC to become the indisputable G.O.A.T.

The public feed on this kinda stuff lazie.

It's all marketin'. Someone selling newspaper or magazine.

Pele is actually a BRAND. He is doing very well with lots of sports clothes, football boots etc.

Maradona too has some stuff...but not close to the brand that is Pele.

So what exactly is this criteria for being the world greatest player.
Footballing honours won, goals scored, skill, impact/ MOTM awards or influence in big games?

Regardless of who you think is the greatest of all time, Maradona's response proves the old adage "form is temporary, class is permanent". Maradona (inspite of his tiefin' handball goal) had form, Pele has class. Let's see how many people in 200 years remember Ronnie Wood, Bono and Keith Richard. I'd wager that they'll know Beethoven and Michaelangelo.

Messi's accomplishments at the international level are ZERO.
