    http://www.goal.com/en/news/60/south-america/2011/05/17/2490076/barcelonas-lionel-messi-is-not-as-good-as-johan-cruyff


    Barcelona’s Lionel Messi is not as good as Johan Cruyff, Michel Platini or Alfredo Di Stefano – Pele

    Brazilian legend Pele has once again raised questions over the greatness of Barcelona forward Lionel Messi and says that he has to achieve a lot to be compared with some of the legends of the past.

    Messi, winner of the past two Ballon d’Or awards, is widely recognised as the best footballer in the world at the moment. There are also strong suggestions that the 23-year-old is set to become one of the greatest footballers of all-time.

    However, Pele has refused to warm up to that belief and recently underlined Messi’s under-par performance for the Argentina national team.

    According to Chilean newspaper La Tercera, the former Santos forward has once again raised his concern on the hype surrounding Messi and is quoted as saying: “People like to compare but they seem to have forgotten [Johan] Cruyff, [Michel] Platini and [Alfredo] Di Stefano, who were better than [Lionel] Messi.”

    The three-time World Cup winner with Brazil also gave his opinion on the Champions League final and said: “Manchester United are a strong side and are faithful to the English style of football. But I have no doubt that as a team Barcelona are the best in the world.”

    Messi scored against United in the final of Europe’s most prestigious club competition in 2008-09 in Barcelona’s 2-0 victory.

    I hope Pele develops an illness which limits his ability to speak.

    Messi is from Argentina, Brazilians don't like Argentinians.

    Pele is right, I think Messi needs to win a world cup.

    also you cannot compare the two players tbh, they are from different time periods

    Would Messi be as good as he is for Barcelona in another team? The only time we see that is with Argentina where he's good..but not almost as good. Being in the Barcelona team is "easier" due to the players around him being world class and having immense chemistry, also setting him up at every oppertunity.

    I think we could judge Messi better if he was to move to a different club.. which he probably never will.

    exactly the best way to judge him other then barca is to see what he does in Argentina.

    Pele is turning into more of a cunt every time he speaks. He said the same thing a couple of months ago. Pele is jealous of Messi.

    Truth be told anyone that actually considers Messi to be the best ever already is a moron. Opinion or not. Messi might be the best in the world right now, but he can't be considered an all time great. Sorry.
