Messi or Zidane? Best player of past 10-15 years

Who you picking?

Messi for me. Most of the old timers I've talked to who've been watching football since the 60's say he's the best they've seen since Maradona and Pele.

Zidane is one of the most complete footballers of all time, absolutely amazing but if I had to pick I'd have Messi in my team over him.

[*OG Wenger*]

You can't really compare as they are totally different players. But at a push i think i would say Zidane > Messi but both will go down as some of the best players of all time.

Peter Schmeichel.

As already mentioned you can't really compare players from different positions.

[RichCCFC]

Basically every manager/pundit says Messi is the best they've ever seen/best ever.

Nice list, mine is similar, hard to say but for Midfielders and forward mine is something like this...

Zidane
Ronaldo
C.Ronaldo/Henry/Ronaldinho

How about wait until Messi is 28 or 30 till we start comparing who is better?

[RichCCFC]

Henry was an absolute joy to watch, best PL player ever. Maybe my favourite too

Ronaldo was probably my favourite until he got his terrible injury.
