"Dedication, scoring ability and relentless effort help Ronaldo rank second only to Lionel Messi in his generation. He is the player who scores the most goals in football history," the Daily Mail (UK) introduced about the Portuguese superstar. However, in the ranking of the 10 greatest players in world football, this newspaper only ranked Ronaldo in the last position.
Meanwhile, Lionel Messi is firmly in the number one position. Daily Mail used beautiful words to praise the Argentine superstar: " Lionel Messi shattered the last doubts about his ability by leading the Argentina team to the 2022 World Cup. There is no doubt that Messi is the greatest player in history, a rare person in football history who possesses both the ability to score goals, leadership qualities, technique, judgment, and extraordinary vision."
Messi leaves Ronaldo far behind in Daily Mail's rankings.
Also according to the British newspaper, the second name is Pele, the only person known as the "King of Football". During his career, the Brazilian legend won 3 World Cup championships, something no other colleague has done.
Third place is Diego Maradona.
"A rebellious angel with incredible balance and strength, Maradona was the greatest player of Argentine football and Napoli club", said Daily Mail.
