what´s zidane doing there? to make it easier to vote?

I love the fact that this thread is called "God'... I've been following Barcelona for years and when I'm texting one of my friends about a barca-game, we often refer to Messi as "God" aswell. Pele is probably one of the only people in the world who doens't agnoledge the fact that he is really the best player ever. Now let's just hope Xavi and Iniesta will be considered part of the best all-time XI aswell, because Messi draws away some of the attention that they deserve.
This is a generation that people will talk about for many, many years to come!

I think Zidane having more votes than Cruyff takes away whatever legitimacy that poll had.

This.

Also Zidane is more famous than Cruyff and its Telegraph. People often votes based on which name comes to head first.

messi's goals per game ratio is better than RvN's now. out of 49 goals he has scored 24 in the knock-out stages (top scorer ever in knock-out, second place has 18 goals) RvN scored 60 goals all time in the cl.... 50 in the group stage, 6 in knock-out and 4 in qualifying.

...wow

Messi's goal-to-game ratio is 0.76.

the only people with a similar goals-to-game ratio are Eusebio (0.73), Jean-Pierre Papin (0.74) and Marco Van Basten (0.75).

the only people with a better goals-to-game ratio are Alfredo Di Stefano (0.84), Ferenc Puskas (0.87) and Gerd Müller (1.00).

worth pointing out, though, that Müller, Papin and Van Basten have played much less games & goals than Messi. he's right up there with el Saeta Rubia, the Black Panther and the Galloping Major, which is fucking mental.

And to think Leo is doing it in a quicker and less defensive era than Eusebio, Di Stefano etc with much more scouting being done and up against a higher quality of player.
