The Greatest of Them All: MARCA Names Messi as the Best Player of All Time
The debate about who’s the greatest footballer of all time is one of the most contentious and exciting discussions in the world of sports. And, who better to weigh in on this debate than the esteemed Spanish newspaper, MARCA? In a recent announcement, MARCA has declared Lionel Messi as the best player of all time, dethroning his great rival Cristiano Ronaldo to take the top spot.
According to MARCA, Messi’s impressive trophy cabinet and incredible achievements on the pitch justify his number one position. The 37-year-old has won an astonishing 13 Ballon d’Or awards, a testament to his consistent dominance over the years. And, he’s still going strong, with a reputable goal-scoring record and leadership qualities that inspire his teammates.
But, what about Cristiano Ronaldo, you ask? Well, the Portuguese superstar takes the second spot, with Pele and Alfredo Di Stefano completing the top four. Johan Cruyff and Diego Maradona occupy the fifth and sixth positions, respectively.
So, what makes Messi the best? According to MARCA, it’s his impressive record, which includes an unprecedented six Ballon d’Or awards, ten La Liga titles, and four UEFA Champions League crowns. "In the Big 6, all have an incredible track record. Messi has won more than anyone, which is why he has the honor of being recognized as the No. 1 of the No. 1s," stated MARCA in their announcement.
The recognition comes ahead of the upcoming presentation of the "MARCA America Award," which will be bestowed upon Messi in a special ceremony at Inter Miami’s Chase Stadium. The event will feature MARCA’s director, Juan Ignacio Gallardo, and Inter Miami co-owner, Jorge Mas, presenting the prize to Messi and his family, friends, and teammates.
