Messi rightfully claimed the number one position, showcasing his undeniable talent and skill, while Ronaldo’s remarkable career landed him in the tenth spot.

The rankings not only recognize the incredible achievements of these two players but also shed light on the significant difference between Messi and Ronaldo, as highlighted by the publication.

Surprisingly, Neymar, the talented Brazilian forward, did not make it to the list, further emphasizing the exclusivity of this elite group.

Among the top 10 footballers, other legendary names like Pele, Diego Maradona, Zinedine Zidane, Johann Cryuff, Alfredo Di Stefano, Ronaldo Nazario, Garrincha, and Zico were also honored for their exceptional contributions to the sport.

Messi’s impressive record of eight Ballon d’Or awards and Ronaldo’s five victories further solidify their places among the greatest footballers of all time.
