I don't know why but I still dont like or rate Messi, I don't know why I just don't enjoy watching him play. He can do magic but the bits of magic are always very similar despite being spectacular.
I'm only 19 so can't take Maradona really into account, but from my time I'd say the Ronaldo at Barca/PSV/Inter was the best during my time, scored as many as Messi prior to this season, and a very wide array of goals. Goals similar to Messi's bits of magic whilst doing the thing Torres does mixed with the stuff the Portuguese Ronaldo does. Also may I add he's single handedly won the world cup for Brazil and almost did it for them the first time around if not for that weird injury and he scored all his goals in a weaker Barca team.
Psv 42 goals in 46 app
Barcelona 47 goals in 49 app
Inter 42 goals in 58 app despite missing effectively 2 years of football due to knee injuries.
I'd think most people would say Maradona but never really saw him play so for me Brazil's Ronaldo.
