A Quote by Eusebio

Pele played in an era which had so many great players and in that atmosphere he stood out above the others. He was the complete player in every aspect as well as being a kind human being. Cristiano Ronaldo is young yet, and has many years ahead of himself. But as of now, I do not see anyone who can compare with Pele.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are both great players with specific qualities, but Pele was better.

Alfredo Di Stefano

I have seen some great players doing wonderful things, but being so decisive for so long over 12 or 14 years as a professional, I think no player, maybe only Pele in his time, has shown that level. He shows it in every game. I don't know how many hat-tricks he's had.

Quique Setien

Pele was the best of his era, Diego Maradona was the Pele of the Eighties, and Ronaldinho is the Pele of our time.

Cafu

He is the best. The best in the world, yes. Probably the best ever. I saw Maradona a couple of times. I never saw Pele. But Cristiano is amazing. This man is the best... Cristiano is a goals machine. He is an incredible player. He is like Zidane, there will never be another Ronaldo.

Jose Mourinho

Cristiano Ronaldo is sensational, a very good professional, an incredible goalscoring machine for many years, but Messi is the most complete player I have seen.

Joachim Low

I'm a Pele fan from way back when I was a kid, and then there was always this thing later about Pele and Maradona. I was young and impressionable as a kid but it was always Pele for me.

Alex Ferguson

Leo [Messi] is the best player of all time - better than Pele, Maradona or Cruyff. There have been some great teams in history - Pele's Brazil, Cruyff's Ajax, Sacchi's Milan - but in the past 20 years this Barcelona team is the best.

Xavi

Over the years I've learnt to live with two persons in my heart. One is Edson, who has fun with his friends and family; the other is the football player Pele. I didn't want the name. 'Pele' sounds like baby-talk in Portuguese.

Pele

For me, Paul Scholes is on the same level as Ronaldo. The real Ronaldo, not Cristiano. I always thought he was a great player but after I played alongside him I realised he was Manchester United's greatest player of all time. He did his talking on the pitch which I respected most.

Fabien Barthez

Of all the players at the World Cup I don't think it is too much to compare Ronaldinho with the great Pele.

Cafu

There's Pele the man, and then Pele the player. And to play like Pele is to play like God.

Eusebio

Pelé was a complete player. I didn't see him live obviously, because I wasn't born.

David Beckham

Pele revolutionized football. Pele stopped a war. Pele united countries, united families.

Cafu

I can't be compared to Pele. I need to do so much more to be compared to Pele. Pele is fantastic. And he's unique.

Neymar

Pele doesn't die. Pele will never die. Pele is going to go on for ever.

Pele

They try to say this era was a tainted era. But so many great players played in the last 15 to 20 years. This is going to be the best era in the history of the game in my opinion.
