They played in an era that had better defenders. Messi and cr7 would never score this much in serie A back in the 90s.

Op Messi and CR7 are not even strikers. They are forwards. RWF,LWF,SS
Henry
Drogba
Inzaghi
Ibrahimovic
Raul Gonzalez

There was one Hungarian striker who scored more goals than Messi and Ronaldo put together. I can't remember his name.

Puskas??

edi287:
Puskas??

God bless you, bro. I watched a documentary about him. He was a prolific striker.

Yeah, he and di stefano dominated with madrid back then. Funny how he scored all those goals with his big stomach.

Does Pukas have a better goal per game ratio than C.Ronaldo @ Madrid? I bet he doesn't.

Forget that one. Messi and CR7 are better than all strikers @ any club level ever. Why? They have a better goal per game ratio. These 2 players have redefined football.

zidane wasn't a striker either yet he did his own shege. We are talking about strikers here not wingers or forwards

Ronaldo(r9):247/343games. 0.72
Messi:243/277...0.877
CR7:264/386...0.68
Puskas: 508/521...0.97
Eusebio: 749/743...1.01
Gerd Muller:487/555...0.87.
Romario: 309/449....0.69

Note that R9 had injury problems from 99-02 so his stats would've been even better. Before u messi and cr7 fans come with "they didnt start off as strikers talk".

LOL. They even called him fatty but he ended up surprising everyone.

Your list is ok, but I would replace Di stefano with Klose... Being the world cup all time top scorer should count for him.

1. De Lima Ronaldo.

2. Henry.

3. De Stefano.

4. Van Basten.

5. Pele.

This is no particular order tho..

Klose is a really good striker, but i think he is lucky to be playing for a great footballing nation like Germany.I respect your opinion though.

5) Eusubio. Avg 1.00
4) Gerd muller
3) Puskas avg 1.00
2) Messi avg 0.88
1) Pele avg 0.85

I wud hv put de Lima but Raul still has d record of top scorer in CL and he broke di stefano's record dat was set in d 60s . De Lima dint perform in d CL. Raul also broke hierro's record in d Spanish national team , he is presently d 2nd top scorer Eva for Spainish national team , a record villa broke recently . He also holds d record of all time top scorer for real Madrid . D guy na icon , he broke all di stefano's record . De Lima doesn't hold any record of all time top scorer for any club , tho he was brutal but mayb d injuries limited him. D only record he had was WC all time top scorer which was just broken by klose , I will giv him kudos for dat tho

Of all the players that ever graced the beautiful game of soccer, the greatest of them all is o' phenomenon-Ronaldo delima. I have watched all others, from pele to maradona, platini, de stefano, puskas, messi, ronaldo and the best of them all is delima, he is just what he is called o'phenomenon. Though injury never allowed him much, that guy would have won world footballer of the year 7 times before any player comes in. I started watching football 1994, i have seen a lot and i pride myself a very good and accurate judge of talent, potential and ability.
