This is a large-scale poll, attracting the largest number of fans. Specifically, more than 483,000 people participated in the vote, and 36% of them voted for Ronaldo.

Ronaldo only narrowly won over arch-rival Messi - who also received 35% of the votes, just over 5,000 votes less.

Surprisingly, Maradona ranked third with 17% of the votes, far ahead of "king of football" Pele - who only received 32% of the votes.

It is understandable that Ronaldo and Messi create a "two-horse" situation in today's football polls. The two stars often alternate, taking turns leading the poll rankings.

In 2022, the GOAL50 poll attracted 9 million voters, and Messi was the overwhelming winner. The runner-up that year was Maradona.

Nine months ago, Ronaldo convincingly defeated Messi with 52% of the votes in a poll of 3.8 million people.

In terms of complete football career, Messi completely overwhelms Ronaldo at this point.

Both are quite equal in terms of club achievements, but when it comes to the national team, Messi is superior. This is clearly shown through the World Cup - the world's biggest football arena.

The Argentine superstar won the World Cup (2022) and was runner-up once in this tournament (2014). On the contrary, Ronaldo was only associated with being in the worst squad of the tournament.

Football legends also often rate Messi higher, such as "fat" Ronaldo, Kaka, Rooney, Ibrahimovic...

However, Ronaldo has a larger fan base and is more diligent in emotional polls.
