Are Ronaldo's knee injuries the only things that stopped the Brazilian from being the number one, undisputed, greatest footballer of all time? Grass is green. If you've seen any footage of Ferenc Puskas, you probably seen a few blurry clips of a rather fat fella scoring an obscene amount of goals for Real Madrid and thought: "Jeez, is that how long ago did Gonzalo Higuain play for Real Madrid?". It's best, however, is currently out on-loan with Borussia Dortmund. In fact, when Werner made his professional soccer debut back in 2013, he became the youngest-ever player to score a goal for VfB Stuttgart. Michel Platini is undoubtedly the greatest goalscoring midfielder of all time. He's also excelled for his country this year — his three goals steering Algeria to win only its second-ever Africa Cup of Nations during the summer. Bullishly strong, fast and with a destructive long-range shot, Rooney was the ideal attacker, and one of the closest we ever got to the heir of the ultimate forward's throne (to be revealed later). Coaches and fellow teammates love him for it, because Roberto often proves himself to be an opponent’s absolute nightmare. He also did a cool free-kick, where his run up lasted only one or two steps, before bending it into the top corner. Andres Iniesta won everything. Carlos Vela didn't just break the MLS record book during 2019, he tore it apart, burned it, and wrote his own version. Major Achievements: 1974 & 1978 FIFA World Cup runner-up, 1974 FIFA World Cup Silver Boot, three European Cups, two Eredivisie, two KNVB Cups, one Intercontinental Cup, one Copa del Rey. A hat-trick against a seemingly unbeatable Brazil team, two against a oddly good Poland team, and a goal in the final against an always exceptional West Germany team; it's fair to say that Rossi had a good tournament...a really, really, really good tournament. At his best, he would only concede two goals (one a freak Cristian Zaccardo own goal, the other a Zinedine Zidane penalty) on route to a World Cup triumph, at his worst he was one of the top three goalkeepers in Europe. The biggest omissions are Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane, Real Madrid's Luka Modric, and Juventus' Paolo Dybala. The 28-year-old already has six goals and nine assists to his name in the Premier League, the latter being the highest total in the division. Dembele's credentials were doubted when he was with Celtic despite his phenomenal scoring record. However, Modrić is also a national legend back in his home country of Croatia, which he’s represented a number of times on the Croatia national team. These days, he plays for RB Leipzig, and he too has his eyes set on a Bundesliga title. Calling all Roma fans! ?More ➡️ https://t.co/NqEUNSQJpw pic.twitter.com/nCCXk5HTJo. That being said, the Spanish midfielder isn’t just known for his defensive skills. What do you do? As quick as peak PED Justin Gatlin, as powerful as peak PED Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson and as skilful as Garrincha, Pele, Zico etc. Agüero is one of the greatest goalscorers the EPL has ever seen, but he likely won’t be satisfied until he manages to win a Champions League title as well. Whoops. The Uruguayan hitman has scored 25 goals, 12 of them which have come this term in what's been a strong start to the new campaign. He also is still managing to break up the play from a more advanced position and provide coverage for Chelsea's other midfielders and defence. Sometimes the best players in sports aren’t the ones who score all the goals, but rather the playmakers who make it all possible. "[Mertens] was born to be a striker," said Maradona after learning the Belgian has beaten his tally, while also encouraging the club to extend his contract at the San Paolo Stadium, according to Goal. Who's the Best Player in the Premier League? Major Achievements: Three Campeonato Paulista, 1983 South American Footballer of the Year, 1980 Bola de Prata, 1976 Campeonato Paulista top scorer. Ok, so in most other 'Greatest Footballers of All Time' lists, Kaka probably wouldn't make the cut, because there was a period of time in which he was at Real Madrid and was, well, pretty terrible.
