Playing for a long time doesn't make you a better player, it just makes your career more successful. If you want to be the best, you have to reach the highest level and the best way to compare players is comparing their best seasons, bcs then you can see how high the level was that a player has reached. Until now, Messi in his 5th best season (10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 14/15, 18/19) was a better player than CR7, Mbappe and Haaland in their best season if you look at the average performance level p90. Until no one reaches this level, no one will be able to call themselves a better player, regardless of how long a player plays.

Short answer: it's much too late for them to do that Longer answer: surpassing Messi/Ronaldo has something more to do than just stats and trophies. They would have to display performances comparable to their best seasons (like they did in 2018 for Mbappé, 2023 for Haaland) for 10+ years straight, while setting an inhuman gap between them and the rest of the still-active best players of their era. (Oh and Mbappé still plays in a weaker Ligue 1 so there's that)

I think the best way to compare players is to compare their best seasons. Messi in his 5th best season (10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 14/15, 18/19) was a better player than CR7, Haaland and Mbappe in their best season, which speaks volumes. I think they can compete with the longevity and overall numbers, but nobody will reach the same level as Messi at his peak

Yep. Footballers start as early as 16-17. Mbappe is leading against Haaland right now, but he's nearing 25 and he's still at PSG. Haaland has some time to catch up, but he's missing quite some games with injuries lately. Both of them have something against them. Remember, this comparison is solely between Haaland and Mbappe. There are obviously many good footballers around, like Jude, Vini, Musiala, Rodrygo...

But no player with all those packages combined with a high and pecfect efficiency better than Messi will come along. As well as being much similar to Maradona when it comes to magic, Messi has more than the double of goals and assists recorded by Maradona. And to cap it all, Messi's longevity and consistency speak for themselves.

You can always tell if someone's ball knowledge is low when they say Ronaldo can't dribble or hes just a poacher and that he doesn't produce moments of magic. Ronaldo between 06/07 to 09/10 was a top 5 or top 3 dribbler in the world. And between 10/11 to 13/14 he was a top 5 to top 10 dribbler in the world. And Ronaldo has always preformed amazing tricks and flicks and skills. You only know the Ronaldo after his knee injury and after he changed his game due to age and the knee injury and became a box player.

Anyone who says's Mbappe or Haaland can match Cristiano Ronaldo please compare the goals scored and the assists made by each player. Ronaldo has MANY goals with both his strong and non dominant foot from 25+ meters out. Cristiano's range of pass and vision (once again with both feet) also FAR exceeds the levels of Mbappe and Haaland. The final point is that Ronaldo actually tracked back and pressed heavily for the majority of his career which is something NONE of the other players in this video ever did or do now. It was only in the second half of the 15/16 season when Zidane replaced Rafa Benitez that Ronaldo was no longer required to drop back to defend (except on corners which Ronaldo tracks back for even in the twilight of his career). It's not even an argument. I don't think Mbappe and definitely not Haaland will ever come close to Ronaldo and Messi. It's not a diss to them, but the bar is just so high.

I think it’s possible but very very thing chance. id rather push messi and ronaldo aside and just enjoy them for what they are. both talented young players who are entertaining. honestly don’t think we’ll see talent on par with messi and ronaldo for a while. those two are just magical. their skill isn’t even what impresses me but their consistency and longevity. i’ve never heard of dominating the top for this long. if neither one existed the odds of them having 10+ ballon d’ors is very high. I love them both and so blessed I got to watch them play. I cannot stand the thought i’ll have to watch them both retire some day. they are so good and consistent that now people aren’t impressed by 30 goals a season, they inflated expectations. the sport is evolving and changing so much, I don’t think we’ll get to experience a rivalry like this one again. I can’t imagine sharing the top with another person for more than 10 years. 🐐🐐

I don't think its far to just look at stats. Because Ronaldo played as the David Beckham of that man united team thats what sor Alex wanted him to do. And before you say he wasn't a midfileder. He wore the number 7 shirt for a reason because he would play and fill in the void of David Beckham (a midfileder) and people say he doesn't track back but he only stopped tracking back after the 2006 world cup. He played rm in his breakout season but was much more focused on goals and winning games. And because of that sir Alex took him out of midfiled and gave him freedom making him a rw or rm sometimes and even cf sometimes. Ronaldo dominating the premier at Man united is just as impressive if not more then what mbappe did in ligue 1 a worse league for a team with less history.

Halaand is not in the race, because of his luck in nationality and also because of his lack of involvement. He rarely produces moments of solo brilliance like the rest here. If Mbappe keeps up his form in the World Cup, I can see him win that at least once more. Guy is a beast, probably the greatest world cupper since Pele and Maradona. Bellingham has a bigger claim than Halaand. However, they all need to do a few 50 goal seasons and keep scoring 30+ for at least 10 years, before we can really compare them to Messi or Ronaldo.

If Mbappe manages to go to a better club he has a chance to be up there with Ronaldo and Messi. But Haaland, not so much, given his playstyle and the fact that he doesn't play for a better national team.

Playing for a long time doesn't make you a better player, it just makes your career more successful. If you want to be the best, you have to reach the highest level and the best way to compare players is comparing their best seasons, bcs then you can see how high the level was that a player has reached. Until now, Messi in his 5th best season (10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 14/15, 18/19) was a better player than CR7, Mbappe and Haaland in their best season if you look at the average performance level p90. Until no one reaches this level, no one will be able to call themselves a better player, regardless of how long a player plays.

Short answer: it's much too late for them to do that Longer answer: surpassing Messi/Ronaldo has something more to do than just stats and trophies. They would have to display performances comparable to their best seasons (like they did in 2018 for Mbappé, 2023 for Haaland) for 10+ years straight, while setting an inhuman gap between them and the rest of the still-active best players of their era. (Oh and Mbappé still plays in a weaker Ligue 1 so there's that)
I think the best way to compare players is to compare their best seasons. Messi in his 5th best season (10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 14/15, 18/19) was a better player than CR7, Haaland and Mbappe in their best season, which speaks volumes. I think they can compete with the longevity and overall numbers, but nobody will reach the same level as Messi at his peak
Yep. Footballers start as early as 16-17. Mbappe is leading against Haaland right now, but he's nearing 25 and he's still at PSG. Haaland has some time to catch up, but he's missing quite some games with injuries lately. Both of them have something against them. Remember, this comparison is solely between Haaland and Mbappe. There are obviously many good footballers around, like Jude, Vini, Musiala, Rodrygo...
Exactly. Eye test. Plain and simple. That’s the separating factor. Ronaldo entertained with presence and skill. Messi just made your jaw drop. Mbappe has a chance but he’s all about pace, which will fade. Haaland fails the eye test completely. Statistically he’ll be up there, but football is watched with the eyes, and not looked at on paper

Messi easily falls into at least top 3 of all those attributes in the history of football. Yes, it's possible to see another player with one or two of those attributes better than Messi. But no player with all those packages combined with a high and pecfect efficiency better than Messi will come along. As well as being much similar to Maradona when it comes to magic, Messi has more than the double of goals and assists recorded by Maradona. And to cap it all, Messi's longevity and consistency speak for themselves.

No one can overtake them. Mbappe and Haaland are still very young, it will be interesting to see if they still put out numbers in their 30s like messi and ronaldo did(and still does). Another thing is they were much more than just stats.
Halaand is young but not mbappe, mbappe will be 26 this year, that’s already prime age
That thumbnail goes hard af
I think they're great talents irrespective of the perceived weaknesses which can always be counter-argued; but greatness comes with consistency and I'm not sure they can be, but time will tell.
If Mbappe had better PR he would be rightfully regarded as one of the best footballers this world has ever seen. He's accomplished more individually at 25 than Messi and Ronaldo did at that age yet people talk about him as if he is a 3rd rate talent. Hell even at 19 years of age he outdid Messis and Ronaldos international careers at 25.

@@acacia8261 Since when has the reality ever mattered when it comes to narratives?
@@44nkk Well good PR comes with a perceived better league and a UCL title. Now while, individually he's out shined them at those ages, he's still a third rate talent to them. How we all perceive and define skill differ, but I don't think he's as skilled as those two who had this X-factor aura about them, ALWAYS. That's where consistency comes in and is he as consistent?
@@44nkk since people stop being delusional
If Mbappe and Haaland reach the same level or surpass Messi and Ronaldo, they have to be consistent every year and deliver when the chips are down. Many players can stay at the top for 2 years at most but Messi and Ronaldo since their debuts were at the top for a decade. That's scary.
Awesome video!! Great content that makes football simple.
Also the way you use accolades is a bit weird. For example if you want to talk about Messi's 2008-09 season you shouldnt mention the 2008 ballon d'or but the 2009 since its the one that rewards his performance furing that season otherwise it just feels weird because you present a season where he wins the treble as the best player in the world but somehow finishes second at the Ballon d'or.
Same thing for Ronaldo in 2007-08 He received a Ballon d'or for his 2007-08 season he didnt finish second place. I think you got confused over what metric to use, age of a player or season by season.
So glad you made this as I've always wondered their comparisions at their like for like ages. But for me, Messi is the GOAT and I just can't see anyone bettering him, ever.
amazing video and interesting format thank you very much!
Stathead age is the age at the start of the season, Mbappe birthfay being in December, It makes him actially one year younger than he actually is during the end of the season.
If you keep trying to compare current players to past ones you won’t be able to appreciate them while they’re here. Different eras have different metas and previous players will always have the boon of nostalgia. I think we should stop trying to repeat echos of the past and focus on the now
I don't know what the debate is all about You just watch Messi and Ronaldo and you watch mbappe and haaland,big difference How Messi and Ronaldo played was insane Mbappe may come close but haaland? NO
I mean the difference is the position of each player and the tactics. Ronaldo played RM in Manchester United during a time where Right Mids were facilitators NOT going into the box. Messi played RW and he was playing off of Ronaldinho who was facilitating the ball progression next to iniesta. Haaland is literally right in front of goal. It’s better to compare his numbers to ST Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic, but also understand that running up goals and assists numbers only happened during the ronaldo and Messi era.
That last statement regarding their peaks was so on point and pretty much explains messi and ronaldos greatness
Do I think they’ll surpass Messi and Ronaldo: NO Do I think that’s an Issue: NO People have to realize Messi and Ronaldo are once in a lifetime players, expecting the next generation to surpass just because you want to feel the void they left is asinine. Let’s just appreciate their journey and not expect to reach Messi and Ronaldo heights.
Exactly, not being better than Ronaldo and Messi doesn’t = bad
Tell that to the 100 of millions of football fans who thinks so
Neither mbappe or haaland are on the right path to be better than messi (at the moment, even if they carry on for 15-20 years without a dip). To compare with ronaldo we gota wait to see how many goals they get.
Mbappe certainly has a case to be better than Messi, but he's wasting his career at PSG. I'm more invested in Jude Bellingham, he's on the right track to that particular achievement.
@Coach-rq6jx I'm English and would love to agree with Bellingham, and amazing as he is, it's not a patch on Messi. Not even close
@@lionelmassey5365 I'm Spanish, and I disagree. The promise of quality goes way beyond and before Messi, to Zidane. He's just 20 as well. Generational.
@@Coach-rq6jxI don't think Mbappe has the potential to surprass Messi, bcs Messi in his 5th best season (10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 14/15, 18/19) was a better player than CR7, Haaland and Mbappe in their best season. I don't think Mbappe will ever reach this level
@@ModernFootball866 Yeah man, I don't agree with anything you have said. I don't like this tone. See, that's why I said Mbappe is limited at PSG.
Anyone who says's Mbappe or Haaland can match Cristiano Ronaldo please compare the goals scored and the assists made by each player. Ronaldo has MANY goals with both his strong and non dominant foot from 25+ meters out. Cristiano's range of pass and vision (once again with both feet) also FAR exceeds the levels of Mbappe and Haaland. The final point is that Ronaldo actually tracked back and pressed heavily for the majority of his career which is something NONE of the other players in this video ever did or do now. It was only in the second half of the 15/16 season when Zidane replaced Rafa Benitez that Ronaldo was no longer required to drop back to defend (except on corners which Ronaldo tracks back for even in the twilight of his career). It's not even an argument. I don't think Mbappe and definitely not Haaland will ever come close to Ronaldo and Messi. It's not a diss to them, but the bar is just so high. I just wanted to add this because the Ronaldo disrespect is just getting out of hand at this point
@FootballMadeSimple your analysis seems to be about English clubs - kindly include Laliga and seria A top matches too, they are even more technical anyway
At age 20, Messi was 3rd in the Ballon d’Or rankings, Haaland 11th, so it’s hard to accept that Haaland was better at that age
Bro judging on ballan dor ranking is probably the dumbest thing to exist. Its not based on stats although Messi was better at age 20
Doesn't matter how good people think Mbappe is... he's already wasted so many years by staying at PSG. Not to mention this GOAT thing is also a PR thing, and many fans now rightfully believe he's a money-hungry treacherous douchebag. Even if he went to a serious club today, he's already wasted too many years. He's 100% out of the race.
No way mbappe, is a fantastic player
Good point.
People calling Mbappe a "money-hungry treacherous" while Messi and Cr7 have been both condemned for tax evasion. Messi did even push his club to bankruptcy.

Do a similar video at the end of each season.
Agree with ur breakdown for the most apart . Also they would all start slow if they started in the prem
Just a quick note, Mbappé was 20 during the 18/19 season, and he was 21 when the pandemic struck in 19/20
I think what’s not there for them is the level of flair. Neither is as skilful as Ronaldo. They’re not as naturally good at dribbling as Messi. There’s no mystique to them yet. Mbappe’s pace will fade. There’s nothing pretty about Haaland’s style. We used to have Ronaldo R9, Ronaldinho and Zidane. The last of the entertaining generation was Neymar. Now entertainment and flair is gone from football, and I don’t think Mbappe and Haaland will have that “feel” about them when all is said and done
i think mbappe has improved a lot in terms of flair eversince playing with neymar and messi tho. he's had some electric dribbles and skills over the past season or so but still not as techniquelly gifted as messi
@6:44 you show a graphic that shows Messi scoring 6 goals in the UCL and Ronaldo scoring 8, however you don't reference the goals from Ronaldo in your table, have I missed something?
Let's talk when they are at their best after 10 yrs Messi and Ronaldo did it for 15+ years consistently
And also if Haaland adds more to his game I’ll say he will be a better goal scorer or reach Ronaldo’s record of being a top goal scorer
Messi meat rider
He has to keep doing that for at least 10-13 years. That's the impossible part. And anyway, Ronaldo's a complete package. He excelled in every aspect. There might be players like NIstelrooij, Hugo Sanchez, and Haaland here etc who can excel in just one aspect ie goalscoring.
@@Coach-rq6jx with modern tech he can
He won't be able to dribble , shoot maybe cross , clutch do freelicks and produce magical moments like cristiano and messi ever would
Nobody is like messi.Not possible.They can score or assist like cr7 but not messi.Messi does it unique
Lol
clearly u didn’t watch Ronaldo in his prime if u think he is just a goalscorer
Here comes the typical Messi fan, people agree that Messi can dribble well however there are tons of other players in history and even now who can dribble pretty well, & remember dribbling is not the only aspect of football.
@@ultron_oo7529 It's not only about dribbling. It's about beeing a good goalscorer, dribbler AND playmaker at the same time and Messi is one of the best ever in every of these aspects
They’ll never pass either of them cuz the eye test will forever be a vital part of a footballer. Ronaldo and Messi have both produced some of the most magical moments in the history of the sport, not just cuz they changed the game like suggested in the video, but because they changed the game in such a spectacular and moment of individual brilliance that may not be replicated. They will be great players, but Ronaldo and Messi remain the greatest
It's crazy how Ronaldo especially exploded to goat status immediately after this and Messi was relatively streamlined in his goat status ever since. Every year it was either CR7 or Messi and nobody else. But with the other two, we see Bellingham and Vini coming in too.
And Alvarez.
They've already overtaken CR7 but won't overtake Messi or Ronaldo Nazario

@@mayujamir6027 they have overtaken them in the admiration of the football public. Neither as seen as a toxic influence. The designation of who is the better player is by definition subjective. Any other questions?
I think than Ronaldo goal record breaking is bigger than Halaand, Ronaldo played as a winger in a team that doesnt play for him and halaand play striker. More goals yeah but Ronaldo as a winger being to scorers is better
I think it’s possible but very very thing chance. id rather push messi and ronaldo aside and just enjoy them for what they are. both talented young players who are entertaining. honestly don’t think we’ll see talent on par with messi and ronaldo for a while. those two are just magical. their skill isn’t even what impresses me but their consistency and longevity. i’ve never heard of dominating the top for this long. if neither one existed the odds of them having 10+ ballon d’ors is very high. I love them both and so blessed I got to watch them play. I cannot stand the thought i’ll have to watch them both retire some day. they are so good and consistent that now people aren’t impressed by 30 goals a season, they inflated expectations. the sport is evolving and changing so much, I don’t think we’ll get to experience a rivalry like this one again. I can’t imagine sharing the top with another person for more than 10 years. 🐐🐐
Short answer: no Long answer: no way 😂😂😂
Messi in his 5th best season (10/11, 11/12, 12/13, 14/15, 18/19) was a better player than CR7, Mbappe, and Haaland in their best season - that says it all and proves that Messi stands above all of them. As long as none of them reach this level, no one will surpass him, regardless of how long they play
Mbappe has already surpassed International legacy of ronaldo and messi at the age of 24.Argue with your wall.
He’s arguably the best French player of all time when it comes to international performances. Only Platini and Zidane rival him right now.
I don't believe this. Pple overrate Mbappe like crazy. I saw him miss most of Messi's pinpoint passes, miss penalties, sky sitters. You don't watch Mbappe regularly.
@@nenemuygriezman too
I believe it's impossible to surpass Messi and CR7. They are both not only insanely talented but also consistent. To reach their heights Mbappe and Haaland have to average over 40 goals for 20 years and also win insane amount of trophies which I doubt it will happen but let's see
it is possible but not for mbappe and especially haaland
Messi and Ronaldo at their age won multiple champion leagues and few ballon d'or already!
No. Messi and Ronaldo are the best ever. Mbappe and Haaland can be Mbappe and Haaland. In addition, there are other names out there at the moment, of which one name in particular amazes me, when he starts to score more, he is the best player in the world.

@@Coach-rq6jx the presence of Mbappe in ligue 1 is stretching many football channels. Many stars are so spread out: imagune covering MLS because of Messi and running over to Saudi because of CR7 and then Ligue 1 for Mbappe and Epl for Haaland and so on
Between 2009-2018 la liga was the focus of sports, so coverage was much easier and more condensed. Then cr7 went to serie a and things started to get complicated
@@TheDYNAMITE001 Yeah, they stopped broadcasting La Liga on our top TV sports channel in our country when Ronaldo left for Juventus and broadcast Serie A instead. Watched Serie A for those 3 seasons. La Liga was only available via Facebook streams and other livestreams. Now that data packs are much more affordable and that too unlimited, I can manage to watch La Liga again. These things matter, because how can you expect good viewership for your content if you're covering something that most people do not, and cannot watch? I think these are some of the problems the Super League will aim to solve.
Both are world class players but nobody can reach the level of cr7 and messi
No and I still stand with "back then players were much more tougher to beat than some players today" I just gonna enjoy what both did, but never thought them at the level of Messi and Cristiano...not even close
I don't think its far to just look at stats. Because Ronaldo played as the David Beckham of that man united team thats what sor Alex wanted him to do. And before you say he wasn't a midfileder. He wore the number 7 shirt for a reason because he would play and fill in the void of David Beckham (a midfileder) and people say he doesn't track back but he only stopped tracking back after the 2006 world cup. He played rm in his breakout season but was much more focused on goals and winning games. And because of that sir Alex took him out of midfiled and gave him freedom making him a rw or rm sometimes and even cf sometimes. Ronaldo dominating the premier at Man united is just as impressive if not more then what mbappe did in ligue 1 a worse league for a team with less history.
Honestly Ronaldo and Messi hardly had a bad season or a dipp in their form ......Legends they came they saw they conquered ❤❤❤❤❤
Consistency will be the decider when their careers end
Lets be honest Haaland scored the most goals in the prem last year but do you remember any goal as memorable because i most certainly dont, you cant compare these guys with what Messi and Ronaldo brought to the game Haaland especially does nothing for the game besides scorin goals if he doesnt play for city he is not missed it makes no difference if he is in the team or not😊
will be tough for them, ronaldo record is not hard to break haaland score like 52 goals last season. peak ronaldo was 65 a season, he might able to break that on a good year. but messi 73 a season lol, thats probably out of reach by any player for a long time. I'm not gonna include messi 91 goal + 22 assist a year record. that 113 g+a goal contribution, ya good luck.
None of them hold a candle at such young ages compared to R9
R9's world cup was at 21 but yea his stats under 20 were crazy
Mbappé might have shouts for the best World Cup player ever if he keeps his current pace up, but both football wise and narrative wise neither of these two touching what we witnessed from 2005/6 to 2021
It will be a tough job to outlast Ronaldo. Man is still banging goals left, right and centre at 39.
Typical Indian Madrid Ryder. Always upping his age to make him seem older. No one cares what he scores in 66th ranked league.
@@youngtrendsetteryts4503 subtract his Saudi goals and then please do let me know how many are there remaining?
I disagree with Mbappe performance in 22 world Cup. His FINAL game performance was outstanding... And just after the penalty. Before that moment, the best French player was Griezmann.
Yep!
The ironic part is that these goal contribution stats say so little about the actual performance of these players. You can count until the cows come how and still come nowhere close to actually being able to tell who played better in a particular season. E.g. Messi's "91 goals in a calendar year" seasons were not his best seasons at all, in terms of overall play.
You also have to take into account messi and ronaldo played against tougher players also in their primes. Messi and ronaldo were constantly competing against teams. They were literally the reason why madrid and barca were head and shoulders better than everyone else. The standards they reached and the records they broke would never be reached again. Also messi and ronaldo are more complete than mbappe and haaland. Almost every category you'd want from an attacking player messi and ronaldo are amongst the top 5 greatest ever. It's quite insane what they've achieved.
I suspect, we will only truly know where Mbappe stands when he competes in a top league for a decade or so. But he is definitely a great player.
Can’t really compare the 2, Messi & Ronaldo started off as wingers & Haaland & Mbappe were number 9’s throughout their careers so far
Mbappe played a good amount on the wing though
Halaand is not in the race, because of his luck in nationality and also because of his lack of involvement. He rarely produces moments of solo brilliance like the rest here. If Mbappe keeps up his form in the World Cup, I can see him win that at least once more. Guy is a beast, probably the greatest world cupper since Pele and Maradona. Bellingham has a bigger claim than Halaand. However, they all need to do a few 50 goal seasons and keep scoring 30+ for at least 10 years, before we can really compare them to Messi or Ronaldo.
They might fall short a little they may score many goals maybe 600+ but not more than that
If haaland stays fit He can break all goal scoring record tbh He is just build for goals
@@ayush9534Yeah, but that's all he does. And just tap ins. The adulation of Haaland is just embarrassing.

You just did basically
@@davispaul2279 until they got to a certain age….
I would say, that IF you want to compare Mbappe and Haaland, then more with Ronaldo them with Messi. No-one of them two is even close to Messis style of football.
Using national competition should not be the case since you literally can't do anything if your country doesn't have good enough players, where as others do. It's the club accomplishments and specifically the UCL that should be the most considered thing here. The UCL is THE TOP NOCH to show how good you are. Playing in a league like BPL and the Primera Division is also something that elevates the legitnes of a player considered to be 1 of the greatest
top notch
Next rivalry will be between Mbappe Musiala and Bellingham not Mbappe and Haaland
What💀
Its already too late for both of them
If you watch football, you would see that none of these 3 are on Messi’s level. The guy is head and shoulders above everyone. For eg as it stands: MBappe- Excellent goal scorer, Highly skilled, Lethal finisher. Ronaldo- Excellent goal scorer(🐐), highly skilled, lethal finisher(🐐) Haalaand- Excellent goal scorer, lethal finisher. Messi- Excellent goal scorer(🐐), highly skilled, lethal finisher, excellent dribbler(🐐), Excellent playmaker(🐐)
Mbappes stats in league 1 are a joke 🤣 and haaland is just a goal scorer. They have nothing against ronaldo and messi
It’s possible but will be very difficult
I'm rooting for Mbappe!!! He's destined for Greatness
Haaland and Mbappe can go past Ronaldo and Messi in goals but the legacy left behind will be next to impossible.
Ronaldo really aged like a fine wine with the way he developed later in his career.
Neymar was greater then them all at those early ages, sadly he got too many injuries and bad decisions which now made him a side character in the world football stage...
If Mbappe kills it in 2 leagues out of England Spain or Italy, maybe
Messi played for 1 team with the same players . Players like Ronaldinho .none of these players will ever play under these conditions.
One thing about Cristiano is that his club football record is unmatchable. He is the only player in history to win Golden Boots in the Premier League, Serie A, and La Liga. Mbappe not even leaving the French league until 25 is going to hurt him in the future. Haaland technically is no match for what Messi and Ronaldo used to do when they were his age. If Mbappe manages to go to a better club he has a chance to be up there with Ronaldo and Messi. But Haaland, not so much, given his playstyle and the fact that he doesn't play for a better national team.
So glad you gave mbappe his props his biggest blander was going to PSG

Absolutely, if people just think of it rationally, today's football is much more harder than before, what I mean is there are much more star player potential than it ever was before...the reason ? Visibility, before many players with potential sould go unoticed, either because of home country conditions or other, but now most good players get snatched at a very young age...that's why football is as competitive as ever, the world cup was a proof of that seeing black horses all over, north kora / japan/ saudia / morroco...and with all the hype and the rise of quality of players haaland and mbappe still outshines the rest of them...the only problem is the longevity, however with the science behind football today, everyone has a blue print for a longer career, so yeah haaland and mbappé will for sure at the very least reach the heights of ronaldo and messi
