Before the battle of who is the greatest player of all time is resolved to most, the battle for who is the best South American best player of all time to some might be sorted, here we break into it!

Lionel Andrés Messi is an Argentine professional footballer and national team captain who plays club football for French Ligue 1 club, Paris Saint-Germain.

He is profoundly pointed to as one of the greatest of all time in the game of football but in South America, he draws competition from Brazillians Pele, Romario,Ronaldinho,Rivaldo,Kaka and Argentinian Maradona.

Messi at 35 years had a wonderful start to a new Ligi 1 season as his club PSG humbled Clermont foot with a 5:0 away demolition. In the match, Lionel Messi scored twice with one an acrobatic bicycle kick plus assisting Neymar’s opener.

The style in which he scored his goal was a manifestation of master class and a fact that the Argentinian still has a lot to offer the club and the country.

At 35 five, no South American of the above mentioned was playing in Europe’s major leagues and for Edson Arantes do Nascimento commonly referred to as Pelé who didn’t even feature in Europe which is thought to have the most competent leagues, could not even play after 34.

All Messi’s competitors as mentioned in the earlier submissions couldn’t play at a competitive level at this age and this points to the fact that, Messi-ah is far more talented and competent in relation to his predecessors. Messi is South America’s Greatest of all time (G.O.AT)
