I'm sure that if we go to the cold hard facts in terms of statistics, goals, and the competition he had, Messi will be the best ever, but Zidane left us so many feats and memories in the most important games, and that's what (unfair or not) is remembered in the long term.
I tell you this: I think that the legends from the romantic era (Di Stefano, Pele, etc.) didn't have this incredibly tough competition. The game became incredibly physical nowadays, who knows how well these players would do today, don't you agree?

Originally posted by LikeASong:Messi might be the best scorer, the best runner, the best shooter... But Zidane was a step higher. He had style, he had grace, he worked for the team and even though he could have been a fantastic scorer he chose to stay mid-field and make his teams work better as a whole. THAT is what the "best player" award should be all about in my opinion, not about who scores 50000 goals in a season.

Peter Schmeichel
Roberto Carlos, Fabio Cannavaro, Jaap Stam, Cafu
Ryan Giggs, Zinedine Zidane, Roy Keane, Cristiano Ronaldo
Lionel Messi, Ronaldo
Pace, power, and a little flair. Also, a team of captains I believe...

Barça-Bayern is a great match already, and it's been just 10 minutes...
