Jamie Carragher has been very open about his admiration for Lionel Messi, arguing with Gary Neville multiple times in the Cristiano Ronaldo/Messi debate.

A close second behind Lionel Messi, Carragher placed the great Diego Maradona, with Pele, Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane occupying third, fourth and fifth respectively. The list of course, is no scientific fact, but it does suggest a general movement towards Messi not just being the greatest of his era, but the greatest of all time thanks to his World Cup success.

However, Ronaldo only making fourth spot will surely stir up plenty of controversy among fans of the 37-year-old striker.
