How exactly Maradona is 1st if he won only 2 world cups and USED steroids and drugs while Pele won 3 world cups without "cheating".. go read about Pele trust me he is ranked 1st and Messi won't surpass him, never..
By your logic Götze is better than Messi because he has a world cup. Winning a world cup is a team prize, just because he hasn't won it means he can't be the best player ever. It's also a lot harder today than it was in Pele's time.
