Widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, Messi’s career at Barcelona and later at Paris Saint-Germain has been filled with numerous records, titles, and individual accolades, including eight Ballon d’Or awards.
Messi winning the World Cup in Argentina in 2022 was perhaps the biggest Hollywood ending that soccer has ever seen. After losing the 2014 final, it looked like it would never happen for Messi, who had won everything else in the game for club and country, but the crowning moment of his career finally arrived at the age of 34. He scored twice in the final as Argentina beat France on penalties, sparking an outpouring of emotion and celebrations around the globe.
“This guy transcends rivalries — even between Brazil and Argentina,” Brazil legend Ronaldo said. “I saw Brazilians and people all over the world rooting for Messi. It’s a fitting finale for a genius who has marked an era

Cristiano Ronaldo’s story is one of a supremely talented athlete, but matched with a drive and will to win. His career is best summed up by one of his own quotes: “If you don’t believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.” Ronaldo has shown that belief throughout more than two decades at the top of world soccer and often proved it to be true.
Ronaldo has achieved extraordinary success with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and currently Al-Nassr, winning multiple league titles.
His former Real Madrid manager, Jose Mourinho, said. “I saw Maradona a couple of times. I never saw Pelé. But Cristiano is amazing. This man is the best. Cristiano is a goal machine. There will never be another Ronaldo.”

Zinedine Zidane, often hailed as one of the most graceful and talented footballers of all time, had a distinguished career marked by technical brilliance and exceptional vision. Born in France, Zidane’s elegant playing style and ability to control the midfield made him a pivotal figure for both club and country. He played a crucial role in France’s 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 triumphs. At the club level, Zidane’s stint with Real Madrid was highlighted by his iconic volley in the 2002 Champions League final, which is remembered as one of the greatest goals in the competition’s history. After retiring as a player, Zidane transitioned to management and achieved remarkable success as the head coach of Real Madrid, leading them to three consecutive Champions League titles from 2016 to 2018.

On July 11, 2010, Iniesta changed Spanish football forever. In the 116th minute of the World Cup final in Johannesburg, South Africa — with the game, tied at 0-0, having gone to extra time — Iniesta collected a pass from Cesc Fabregas inside the penalty box and coolly fired the bouncing ball low past Netherlands goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg. Cue euphoria. Spain won the game 1-0, lifting the World Cup for the first and only time, and Iniesta instantly became the most popular man in the country.
An elegant, skillful playmaker, he also was a key member of one of the best club sides of the modern era — Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona.
