ESPN had the audacity to rank Neymar at number 20. Yes, you heard that right — number 20. And as for the legendary Paolo Maldini? He didn’t even make their list. Recently, ESPN decided to release their list of 'The Top 25 Footballers of the 21st Century'. The reactions? Let's call them "mixed" to be polite. Frankly, it was absolutely egregious. I’m torn between thinking this list is just clickbait or wondering if they seriously lack any real football knowledge. Now, I’m no expert, but I can confidently tell you that our rankings for R9 and Ronaldinho are way higher than ESPN’s. I hesitated about making this video, but I figured the comment section would be pure gold. So, without further ado, here’s our take on ESPN’s fraudulent "Top 25 Best Footballers of the 21st Century” list.

Our Rankings:
1. Cristiano Ronaldo
2. Lionel Messi
3. Neymar
4. Ronaldo Nazario
5. Ronaldinho
6. Zinedine Zidane
7. Andres Iniesta
8. Xavi Hernandez
9. Kaka
10. Thierry Henry
11. Sergio Ramos
12. Paolo Maldini
13. Luka Modric
14. Kylian Mbappe
15. Toni Kroos
16. Sergio Busquets
17. Andrea Pirlo
18. Karim Benzema
19. Luis Suarez
20. Robert Lewandowski
21. Dani Alves
22. Carles Puyol
23. Kevin De Bruyne
24. Iker Casillas
25. Gianluigi Buffon

    Neymar better than R9 and Ronaldinho, is just ridicules. Henry was better than Kaka.
  • @mohammedanam2124
    no way Neymar is better than Zidane, Ronaldinho and R9, he had the potential for sure but his decisions and injuries prevented that.....
  • @okwyunams8439
    This is one of the reasons opinions aren't aired because as much as ESPN's list is ridiculous, yours is even more so. You should've titled the video as my personal favourite footballers. When you're ranking players objectively EVERYTHING has to be taken into account. What's that crap of Neymar being in 3rd above bonified legends and difference makers? Then CR7 and Messi inseperable???? Goodness.

  • @charleswilliampamonica
    Ronaldo is no way even close to Messi. He's in the Category of strikers like Benzi, Lewy and Suarez. Don't bring him close to Messi, coz Messi stands alone
  • @harmez7
    you afraid to make a few kids cry by not putting Messi above Ronaldo? well, you're making real football lovers uninterested in your channel, dude. there is no doubt in Messi's GOATness among us. pick your cards right.
  • @charleswilliampamonica
    I won't watch any video made by you again for this mistake of putting Ronaldo close to Messi
  • @biterlombi3508
