– This is a difficult question because football has changed a lot over the years. How can we compare someone like Pele who played 40-50 years ago with those who play now? Maybe Messi in the last 10-15 years, he has been the best. In my time, Diego Maradona was the best. There were others like Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten, Gary Lineker, and maybe even me! – Matthaeus said in the pages of sportskeeda.com.
Matthaeus picked the best player in football history. “I have to tell Pele!”
Before my time, Pele was the best. We’ve had so many great players over the years. Ronaldo played very well and now he is Robert Lewandowski. There were others like Franz Beckenbauer, Johan Cruyff, Eusebio – so many great players! – the former assistant began to list further.

Later in his speech, Matthaeus finally decided to choose the best one. – I have mentioned a lot of players and each of them has made football interesting over the years. When we speak purely by numbers, Pele has won the world championship three times! Messi never won it, while Maradona won it once. This means that when you think about these numbers in your head, you will only say one name. I have to tell Pele! – finished.
In the past, Matthaeus was an assistant, incl. Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach and is now one of the most respected footballers of his generation. In 1990, he won the Golden Ball after he led Germany to win the World Cup. He is currently on television as an expert on Sky Sport Germany.
