"O MESSI É TOP-5 DO MUNDO E SEMPRE SERÁ" 😲

Summary

The speaker argues that Lionel Messi belongs among the top five greatest players of all time and will always remain there.

All-Time Greats Shortlist

They propose a shortlist of all-time greats, explicitly including:

• Pelé
• Maradona
• Messi
• Cristiano Ronaldo

They also note that other players could qualify, but they keep the list focused for simplicity. The speaker and the other person discussing the topic are excluded intentionally “for ease.”

Comparing Players Across Eras

The speaker highlights how difficult it is to compare players from different eras and roles. To make comparisons more fair, they suggest that a consistent criterion is needed—especially since not everyone in the group played the same type of role (the speaker and their discussion partner weren’t necessarily center-forwards).

Measures of Greatness

They discuss both:

• Statistical indicators, such as Messi being the all-time top goalscorer
• Technical/skill indicators, such as scoring with both feet
• Qualitative brilliance, acknowledging Messi’s exceptional playmaking and overall impact

Relationship to Maradona

The speaker also expresses admiration for Maradona, stating they don’t know whether Messi was better than him. They add that they watched Maradona a lot, reinforcing their personal familiarity with his greatness.
