It’s got to be Messi, in no small part because he’s two-footed.

Best player EVER is a bit of an ask.
You can't really compare the players of yesteryear to the current crop. It's hard to imagine someone like Pele or Eusebio with todays kit and training & nutrition of the modern game, in the same way you couldn't imagine David Silva with a pair of leather hobnail boots and a heavy lace-up leather ball.
It's just not the same game.

Can't choose between Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Maradona.
Think the first two have shown greater longevity and evolution than any other great while Maradona's peak was probably the greatest of any player.
