Football is one of the most watched sports in the world and also one of the most competitive. 90 minutes of non-stop action and the loudest cheer of the games is heard when a goal is scored. Between those 90 minutes, every defender and goalkeeper try their best to stop the opposing team from scoring goals. Football has seen several legendary players. Pele, Maradona, and Czech are a few of them. Likewise, the Italian legend Paolo Maldini, who is a legend of the game, was asked to name the best player he has ever seen in football.
Paolo Maldini said,
“The three greatest players, I saw in my career were Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, and Ronaldo (R9).”
Without a doubt, Maldini has picked the best players in football history. Among these players, he has played against Ronaldo and Diego Maradona. On the other hand, he saw Messi play but never played against him.
Messi, Maradona, and R9 are not just goal scorers; they are also game managers. They dribble, win 2vs1 situations, put a question mark on their opponent’s defenses, and win games for their club. There is no doubt why Maldini picked them as the greatest players he has seen in football.
