You could argue Arsenal were too, with an invincibles season, UEFA Cup final, & CL final.

The same Arsenal who lost the UEFA final to perennial primera and segunda division yoyo Zaragoza?

But I swear on his day at his peak Ronaldinho scared me the most & was just unreal on the ball.


While I don't disagree with this...longevity matters. Ronaldinho's peak was about 6-12 months

There were a couple of people in here sort of laughing at the idea that Scholes was one of the best midfielders of the last 20 years


No I was laughing at him being the third best in the history of the game.

Which I admittedly misunderstood as the original poster was talking about within his lifetime. That argument holds much, much more weight.

If we're talking box-to-box, Scholes is definitely in the discussion of the best in the last 20 years.

Zidane
Scholes
Gerrard
Lampard
Pirlo
Xavi

Hope I missed it but nobody mention the actual greatest?

Maradona

You serious with the "there have never been as many great players as there are right now?" I'm gonna rattle off some names that were playing soccer when I first started watching. Ronaldo, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Figo, Raul, Maldini, Henry, Viera, Van Nistelrooy, Carlos, Cafu, Rivaldo, Kahn, Nesta, Bautistuta, Vieri, Crespo, Ballack, Davids, Nedved, Riquelme, Shearer, Eto'o, Keane, Kaka, Davids, Makelele. And you want to talk about talented clubs when it's literally Barcelona, Madrid & Bayern compared to back then when AC Milan, United, Inter, etc were at the peak of their powers
