Ferenc Puskas by popular request 110+ videos available plus data for 270+ goals - estimating <500 Given a large sample size - should be accurate How did Puskas score his goals? Any shot, any distance, any angle with the left foot. I’m convinced he’s the best finisher ever!

BONUS One I had made before this thread/project started Xavi Hernandez’ assists How did the man create goals? Mainly through balls and forward passing For someone who gets (wrongly) accused of being a side-passer, Xavi certainly loved a through ball - not many have more!

Xavi might just be the best midfielder ever when it comes to controlling and running a match at your own pace. Wow

If you are 2-0 up against Real Madrid, you feel like they can still score 3 and beat you at any moment If you are 2-0 down against Barcelona, you feel like you can still score 3 and beat them at any moment Huge difference in mentality (player quality obviously a factor too!)

Romelu Lukaku is an underrated player Best striker of the 2018 World Cup Had a excellent peak season in 20/21 where he leads his team to the title Unlucky with some bad moves and a bit of a joke personality to be seen as a meme Top 10 striker of the last decade

Franz Beckenbauer Estimate needed here but almost half the goals are available (few number) How did Franz Beckenbauer score his goals? Didn’t score many but when he did it was beautiful - very much a Number 10 catalogue instead of a CB - dribbles, long shots and one on ones

Messi receiving outlet goals - unreal ability to attack the back line Perfect understanding of where the space is A 10 with the brain of a 9 - or a 9 with the brain of a 10 - plus the feet of a winger

@JuventinaHannah Messi and Ronaldo score 50+ goals a season I think Modric winning made ppl misunderstand Modric didn’t win because he won trophies (like Jorginho) Modric is genuinely top 2 CM ever - all timer in the sport and technical demon You are putting random names up there w/him

@nonewthing This video is in 2011 Imagine an elite coach calling a player the GOAT at 23 now Think Messi fans sometimes miss the point - they keep talking about all his achievements and all he’s won He’s not Haaland or Rodri - you don’t make a case for him to win BDRs He just is the best

The lack of disrespect that Kylian Mbappe has to endure is beyond comprehension Easily the best player in the world but not even seen as a top 5 player by many When Mbappe becomes the GOAT, these casuals will go into hiding, ashamed that they once spoke such clueless blasphemy

Johan Cruyff is next ~ 200 goals watched (remainder estimate) How did Johan Cruyff score his goals? Very much like a mini-Messi, he liked one on ones, he could run in behind and he could be a poacher and he could dribble and score out of nothing too Not many pens/FKs at all

Decisive game 2 key moments where he stepped up when it mattered Can’t complain about this performance at all - looked super dangerous every time he got near the box
