Ronaldo only ranked 8th.

According to 90 min , Lionel Messi is the greatest player in football history, having won the World Cup, the Ballon d'Or eight times, and being the all-time leading goalscorer for Barcelona and the Argentina national team.

90 min's ranking of the greatest players in history.

The name ranked after Messi is the late legend Diego Maradona. “Maradona was the greatest player until December 18, 2022,” 90 min stated. That was the day Lionel Messi led Argentina to the top of the world after defeating France in the World Cup final, thus completing a collection of titles that every player dreams of.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo – the all-time leading scorer (867 goals), winner of 5 Ballon d'Or awards, 5 Champions League titles, and the EURO 2016 title – only ranks 8th, behind legends like Pele, Franz Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff, Ronaldo de Lima – who never won the Champions League – and Zinedine Zidane.

“Lionel Messi has been, is, and will always be above Ronaldo. This is absolutely true. However, we will not deny how outstanding Ronaldo has been throughout his career. He has scored the most goals in history, won every title, and is only missing one piece: the World Cup,” 90 min stated.

The last two names in the top 10 greatest players in history, according to 90 min, are Michel Platini, who won three consecutive Ballon d'Or awards (1983, 1984, 1985). Following the French football legend, in 10th place, is Roberto Baggio, the renowned striker who played for Juventus, Milan, and Inter, and was the winner of the 1993 Ballon d'Or.
