Pelé, 17 years old, WC winner, scoring on the final and being our best player, or at least top 3. Then he went on to win it again '62, although injured for most of the WC, and then won the Libertadores twice in a row, and the Intercontinental Cup twice in a row, beating AC Milan (then CL winner) in a three-legged match, and Benfica (also CL winners) on a two-legged match. Not to mention all the national titles he won with Santos, in a Brazil which didn't sell all their best players to Europe then, and which many, including Guardiola, consider it one of the best club sides ever. Messi s doing pretty awesome, but the no WC thing and the inability to carry Argentina on his as of now, make the difference for me.

Carlos Bianchi - Barcelona's Lionel Messi is better than Diego Maradona and Pele

"A few days ago I did a talk for a business and a Brazilian asked me in the middle of the conference who I considered the best footballer in history, Maradona or Pele. I answered that, with all due respect to those two, right now I see Messi as superior to everyone,"

"There have been excellent footballers that weren't able to play in great national teams to prove their class. Moving on from everything that has happened or will happen when he puts on the Argentina jersey, Messi confirms every week that he is capable of doing things that nobody else has managed in the history of football."
