Pele Australian Tour Press Conference

Whenever the debate of "who is the Greatest Of All Time(G.O.A.T.)?" has arisen, we have always come across two names consistently for the last decade - Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. However, before them, we have had several players who were the best of their generations and are strong contenders for GOAT. The list of great footballers is a long one. That is why this sport is so popular across continents. However, when it comes to the debate of GOAT, we have Pele from Brazil, Diego Maradona from Argentina, Johan Cruyff from the Netherlands (then Holland), Alfredo Di Stefano from Spain as the prime nominees along with the LM10 and CR7.

Let's analyze the situations all these players were in and their stats across club and country.
