In my life, many people have asked me, “Who is the greatest of all time in soccer?” Honestly, I never really had an answer. In this article, I will take you through all the possibilities and reveal the GOAT at the end, but please take the time to read the full article. Let's get started!
There are many candidates to be the GOAT in soccer, the most famous being Messi and Ronaldo. Currently, Messi plays for Inter Miami and Ronaldo plays for Al Nasser. Messi fans claim that Messi is better than Ronaldo because he has more creativity and has a left foot that can win any game. On the other hand, Ronaldo fans say he is better because of his amazing dribbling skills and free-kick prowess. Since around 2010, this has been the main question of the soccer world. While these two players are the traditional GOATS, we need to look at more players to find our conclusion.
There are some very interesting prospects for this debate that are still very young. The top two young prospects are Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. Haaland is best known for his speed, strength, and finishing. Some of his most avid supporters like him because he is Norwegian and is very humble. Mbappe, on the other hand, is liked for his speed, around 22 mph, and his humor. Fans also enjoy watching Mbappe play because it is exciting and explosive. These two players are big candidates for the GOAT race of the future.
Another interesting group is the icons. The best are Pele and Diego Maradona. Both were both amazing players. Pele is no doubt one of the most famous soccer players ever, while Maradona is a good option because of his infamous “hand of God” play and his “Goal of the Century,” where he dribbled past two defenders and the goalie to score.
Finally, the holy grail, the moment we have all been waiting for. We have reviewed many players but only one of them can be titled as the GOAT of soccer. He is …………your choice!
