World class players since 2000 17:01 - Nov 26 with 1537 views | RobTheMonk | Further on from the Maradona vs Ronaldo/Messi thread, who would you have as exceptional players since 2020? Not including Ronaldo and Messi as they've been on a level of their own. I'm going to start with a three: Pirlo - Oh my word. There was about 4 years where he was playing on another level with his forward passing. Wonderful player to watch. Phillip Lahm - Absolute German efficiency. Iniesta and Xavi - Counting them as one as together they were brilliant. Loads more that I've missed. Give us your best! [Post edited 26 Nov 2020 17:02]

If he'd have played for Madrid, Milan or Barca he'd have been spoken about as one of the genuine greats. One of the few full backs able to keep Ronaldo under wraps. [Post edited 26 Nov 2020 20:42]

World class players since 2000 on 19:54 - Nov 26 with 293 views | woiii | Dennis Bergkamp is the most skillful player to ever play in the Premier League. He's up there with Messi and Ronaldo IMO | | | |

World class players since 2000 on 09:08 - Nov 27 with 195 views | vapour_trail | Pavel Nedved was a cut above most. Buffon is the best keeper of this century so far. And in front of him Cannavaro and Pirlo were pretty special. | |

Cannavaro is a great shout. Superb centre back. | |
