It's not that difficult to play well and win titles in a team like Barcelona, but it's in the national side where you see a player's true class. That was the case with figures like Pele, Diego Maradona and Zinedine Zidane.

Even though the latter two have incredible scoring records for their clubs, they still haven't won anything with Argentina or Portugal respectively.
