Here's Pele on Messi 18 month ago... "They are always trying to compare someone to Pele. And we know where they stand on that one. Gab Marcotti digs into the data.
I don't think Pele ever scored a goal as good as this one either. Then, when one of them scores a thousand goals, then we can start talking.".
Begrudgingly, we have to admit Pele's numerical arguments are factually sound. Here are the top five: 1. Romario scored five goals as Brazil won the World Cup in 1994. The Barcelona superstar celebrated his 33rd birthday on June 24, then joined one of elite football's most exclusive and illustrious clubs six days later when, against Atletico Madrid, the Argentina captain netted the 700th goal of his career. 3. Real Madrid swept the double winning the Champions League and La Liga with Ronaldo playing far less than usual (he didn’t play quite a few games against the minnows in Spain, games that would have otherwise buffeted his goal tally) but channelling his energy far better. While Messi was arguably a touch better on a purely individually this season, it can not be argued that Cristiano Ronaldo was the more effective. It has been quite a week for Lionel Messi. The Brazilian colossus is the highest scorer of all time, with FIFA crediting him with a mind-boggling 1,281 career goals to his name (Edson Arantes do Nascimento on his birth certificate) between 1956 and 1977. This is the man who once said Nicky Butt was the best player at the 2002 World Cup after all. As I mentioned, I think today there’s no doubt the best player, the best scorer & the best forward is Cristiano Ronaldo". The numbers behind Lionel Messi's evolution as a player (2:04), Messi joins Ronaldo, Pele, Puskas, Romario in 700-goal club, Silva 8/10, Havertz 4/10 as Chelsea and Man United play out goalless draw, Fred, James 4/10 as Man United fail to find any rhythm, Kroos, Ramos, Valverde 8/10 as Madrid win at Camp Nou, Dest impresses, but Barcelona slump to woeful Clasico defeat, Zidane defends El Clasico penalty decision, Madrid 'a little sharper' in Clasico win - Dest, Ajax's Eredivisie record with 13-0 win vs. Venlo, LAFC could get Vela injury boost for El Trafico, Klopp: Rashford work transcends Reds-Utd rivalry, Bayern's Davies out 6 to 8 weeks with injury, LIVE Transfer Talk: Mbappe not bothered by Zidane's rocky Real Madrid future, Man United, Arsenal, Juventus, Real, Bayern get Adidas kit makeover via Pharrell, LAFC, LA Galaxy are struggling in MLS this season, but El Trafico rivalry still has plenty of intrigue, Ozil's agent tells ESPN: 'Arsenal fans deserve honest explanation' about star's exile.
For all the talk of Premier League riches, El Clasicos and Champions League glory, the World Cup remains the biggest sporting event on the planet. The Juventus superstar is still the world's highest-scoring active player and the one still plying his trade who has scored more than Messi. 2. Lionel Messi's 700th career goal was also his 32nd against Atletico Madrid. This time too it’s no different, with Pele himself having earlier said that Messi is the best player in the world (at that time Barcelona were dominating the football world).
