Im not saying Maradona isn’t close, but those two are just unbelievably good.
but its folly to just look at the numbers, there are more games, more chances to play in Europe, less chance of having a career ending injury, if you get an injury recovery time is less.

The argument isn't that they are not great players simply that everything that happens today is not the greatest of all time. Its simply the greatest thing that is happening now.
