GOAT but …idk about influential… Let’s just look at Haaland scoring a billion goals by being a world class poacher… kind of like CR7 and being Haalands inspiration for how to move and get free space inside the box… How do you even get to what Messi does ? You look at Neymar skills and think …I can try that… But how do you weave and wriggle in between 5 players with just body feints and make passes that splits the whole team in half …every…single…match…

Respectfully if you think CR7 is just a poacher you have never seen him play. Agreed with your other points though.

We asked Mikel Arteta for his ideal five-a-side team... and his answer was wonderfully chaotic
