Figo s top three in history, but Messi is not

Louis Figo, the 2000 Golden Globe winner, recently selected the best three in history in an interview. However, on this list, the absence of eight-time Golden Globe winner Leonel Messi is more eye-catching than anyone's selection.

In a 2019 video, Figo revealed his choice to Leo Ferdinand. His list is full of strong personal colors.

The reason why two of the three players on the list are his fellow Portuguese. It is hard not to remind people of his controversial history of defecting from Barcelona to Real Madrid.

For this star who was once greeted by Camp Nou fans with pig's head, admitting that a Barcelona player is the best in history is perhaps a more difficult thing than winning the World Cup.

Of course, everyone has their own Hamlet in their hearts. But is Figo's list pure football considerations or selfish intentions mixed with personal grievances? Perhaps only he knows the answer to this question.
