I think Zidane having more votes than Cruyff takes away whatever legitimacy that poll had.
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.
yeah, great fun here... but please change the name back.

Thanks.
