Isn’t that his current height?If it was Messi in the 80s he'd be 5 foot 4 living in a hut somewhere in Argentina.

I don’t think so. They finished 3rd and 4th in the league not long before Maradona got there. And we’re consistently a top ~5 team in Italy in the 70’s.Imagine this scenario, Messi goes to play for Real vallacano and the following year beat baraclona, Real Madrid, Atlatico, and Sevilla and win the leagues two times. That’s what Diego did in Italy with Napoli
R9 was every bit as talented but his knees blew out. We remember him as the deadly finisher but before the knees went out, Ronaldo was every bit as capable of doing the Youtube tricks of Ronaldinho.I am enjoying this thread. How old are you guys?
The most talent player I ever witnessed is Ronaldinho.
Dinho isn’t even close lol
Honestly though its levels different. Some might say Dinho was a better dribbler than Messi but they're focusing on tricks which have a low success rate. Messi is a menace there without being overly flashy. There isn't a single thing he has over him. Much less be even in the conversation.You're right. He's not as good as the real goat, Higuain!
I think the only thing you could argue Dinho would have been better at would be doing flamboyant tricks in game? But even if he is that isn’t something that would make him a better player. I personally don’t think anyone comes close to Messi in terms of ability in anything though. Or at least relative to his position. As a winger/CF/attacker he’s levels above every player ever.Honestly though its levels different.

Oh his much better at tricks but that really doesn't take you far. imoI think the only thing you could argue Dinho would have been better at would be doing flamboyant tricks in game?

Yeah it’s nothing that quantitatively makes you a better soccer player.Oh his much better at tricks but that really doesn't take you far. imo

Please list the number of your top 10 players who played midfield, won 3 straight Ballon D'or (back when it meant had the best year), won the toughest domestic league, won the C1 and won the Euro by scoring almost two goals a game and setting a record nobody has even come close to touching (while not forgetting two straight WC semis) with a NT that had never won anything in its history.This is my list!

Notable players?
Lol.
I'll say it again : Maradona was more talented than anyone but Platini had the better career.
It says top 10.Are we ranking talent or careers? That's a completely different conversation.
