In the 21st century, who is the 1st star in football, 442 magazine gave its own answer, Messi no. 1, and pressed C Ronaldo. "Alien" Ronaldo was only ranked 17th, and Ronaldo jr. was 5th, crushing Zidane, who was 6th.
Unconsciously, the 21st century has gone through nearly 1/4, and Messi and C Ronaldo began to emerge in the early 21st century. In 2003, Ronaldo joined Manchester United. In 2004, Messi entered the Barca first team. Subsequently, the two began to dominate the football world, which has continued until now, Messi has won the Ballon d'Or 7 times, and Ronaldo has won the Ballon d'Or 5 times. Cristiano Ronaldo is the no. 1 scorer in Champions League history and Messi is no. 2! Messi has won the Copa America, and Cristiano Ronaldo has won the European Cup.
Now, Messi is still pushing C Ronaldo and has been selected as the 1st star of the 21st century by 442 magazine.
Ronaldo's fans are estimated to be unconvinced, but there is no way, Messi has 7 Ballon d'Or awards, which is real, C Ronaldo only has 5.
Moreover, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's domination of world football seems to have come to an end, and this season, 37-year-old Ronaldo and The imminent 35-year-old Messi have performed average.
Ranked 3-10 are Iniesta, Xavi, Rhos, Zidane, Henry, Neuer, Kaka and Suarez.
Suarez was able to rank in the top 10, which is still somewhat surprising.
However, among the top 10 superstars, Modric ranked 14th and Da Luo ranked 17th, which is also surprising. In particular, Da Luo, in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, Da Luo Fengshen scored 8 goals in a single World Cup, leading Brazil to win the World Cup for the fifth time, which is also the last time that the Samba Legion has won the World Cup.
Neymar is only ranked 25th, 2021 World Footballer of the Year Levan is ranked 28th, and "Ball Blind Filter" Busquets is ranked 30th! The ranking of these 3 superstars is so low, which is also unexpected. Busquets, in particular, was the nucleus and cornerstone of the Barça dynasty.
Beckham is 63rd, Cannavaro is 69th, former world footballer Rivaldo is 99th, and just in 100th place is Liverpool star Alexander-Arnold.
The specific ranking is shown in the figure below:
