Third best forward imo. Imo Messi and Ronaldo Nazario were more talented but only Messi lept up or surpassed Cr7s numbers. Then its Cristiano Ronaldo who is also extremely talented and has ridiculous stats. I would say Cruyff Pele and Maradonna are the forwards behind him.

I honestly cannot concieve comparing the likes of Xavi Iniesta Busquets Pirlo Gullit or Zidane with forwards. I cant really rank a list with mids defenders forwards and keepers mixed up.

Same for defenders like Roberto Carlos Marcelo Baresi Beckenbauer Moore Maldini Alves Lahm... I just cant see them be compared to forwards. None of those forwards could or midfielders be what were.

Messi is the only one who couldve maybe been one of the GOATs mids but I dont see any other player be able to be as great in another line than they are in their main one.
