Come on dude. Zidane's France was one of the greatest teams in the world cup 98 and 2006, what are u gonna say that Messi's Argentina is gonna be one of the greatest teams ever? u must be kidding me. Zidane's passes were awesome, he really did magic. Messi have Xavi and Iniesta doing the hard work, he only run and shoot. Compare isntead Ronaldo with Messi. But of course ronaldo was (for me) the greatest striker ever.
messi already won it all and hes just 23 only not a world cup and hes just 23 he will win the world cup once but if u dont win the world cup its OK france won it of a very very very weak brazil in the finals
hes red hot now messi, he needs to win world cups and multiple copa americas to be in the same class as zidane, to think barca are a dominent team and easily win the league every season with xavi & iniesta supporting him. Zidane played against the likes of Nesta, Baresi, Cannavaro, Maldini, Desailly, Thuram & had to compete against ronaldo 9 in Serie A 1990's, La Liga is a poor league despite the spainish talent and youth. Real Madrid are useless without Zidane even with Mourinho and CR9.
messi cannot influence the game like zizou does ...he still need ... xavi ....iniesta...look what happen when he play for argentina... nothing... thats the big different...
Messi is already better than Zidane ever was. Obviously they play completely different positions and are hard to compare because of that, but if we had to choose whose best, it would be Messi. He's only 23 years too, and has many years ahead of him. Messi has the potential to become the best ever, Zidane isn't even top 5. He is actually very overrated. I guess he's top 10 ever.
@crackh0eIShere .lol yes zidane is overrated i agree however messi will not be the best ever. i very much doubt he will surpass maradonna and ronaldo was far better at the same age and achieved much more than messi, alebiet his career after was ruined thorugh injury.
finally i would like to say that i really like messi and he is so talented but don't think about it in this way try to think what will happen if zidane at the age of 22 was playing for real madrid or any team that is famous and well known.I think all the calculations will be different.
@UAmaster that was my point, messi started with barca, and he was argentinian, france at that point didn't ever win wc, zizou had to work 10 times harder for recognition. zizou was already brilliant with juve.
why do all of u guys say that what did zidane do at the age of 22......Didn't u know at that time he was playing for Bordeaux i guess and no one knew him or lets say guide him to big teams like bercalona, real madrid, juventus and thats why he wasn't that famous in ur points of view.what about messi... he came directly to bercalona.An already famous team and full of stars already which helped him showing his talents easily.This is the difference i think.
@syria993 he was nothimg compared to messi at 22, and i mean nothing! zidane became a legend when his career ended he was no doubt world class, but it just goes to show what messi is becoming.
@TheAntwannash zidane was world class no doubt about it! and im a fan of zidane, but he never achieved what messi has at such a young age. i believe if messi stays injury free he will surpass all the legends, and if anyone says he cant is just being biased! messi 23 yrs old, zidane 23 old, zidane was"nt even recognised at that age.
@soooooo89 .not biased a tall ronaldo achieved far far more htna messi did at the same age, messi is quite overrated, amaizng player but evry overrated.
@beeko99matches why would"nt he surpass them? that makes no sense to me? make"n a comment like that just proves that you are being biased with these players. if messi has already achieved more than maradona, zidane has at 23 then where did you come up with the idea that he cant surpass them?
@soooooo89 r u kidding me do u really read my comment i said that he will never surpass them at natural abilities coz they already BETTER than him AT NATURAL ABILITIES
Hey guys, don't you think that no one in this wc equals ZIZOU in terms of technical abilities, elegance, vision, distribution, control, balltouch... This guy was just amazing; I miss him!!! Messi is a prodigy yet has to improve in order to be placed in the truly greats!!!
zidane ist der beste was er ericht hat soll messi erst mal schaffen weltmeister europameister champions leuge 3 mal weltfussballer 3 mal goldener ball 2 mal europas fussballer des jahres im finale 2006 so ein traumhaften elfmeter gegen bouffon geschossen und er wurde auch bester spierler in diesr wm u.s.w ich könnte noch länger erzählen soll messi oder c.ronaldo erstmal das erreichen
Ehm Zizou left the game at the age of 34. When he was 22, in 1994, you should explain me who was Zidane, He grew up at the Juventus and if he didnt score two goals at the 1998 final the crowd would have remembered him for a loser: two champions league final lost playing in a great team. Well, I'm no saying that Zidane is not one of the best of the game but the young Messi is faaar farr better than the young Zidane, who become a champion in his middle twenties.
Messi won't need to play 2 world cup finals. He only need to win one and play for the next decade on the same level. Anyway Maradona is on another level.
Well think about the Argentinian squad and then answer me: Samuel, Cambiasso, Tevez, Aguero, Messi, Mascherano. Maradona is a shock as ct but he cant ignore all these talents.
I'm not sayin that Zizou was not a masterclass player...but i'm sure that in Messi's age he was not as good as th Argentinian. Maradona plays only two times the european cup with a very good team. Zidane played in a top club at the time.
yes from 24 to 34 Zidane played in a top club at the time,Juventus and Real Madrid,and played in 3 CL final.before that in Uefa cup 1996 with Bordeoux,played in Uefa cup final.
@vinciano zizou was with bordou an unknown team at the time, he came to juve in 1996/97 season and was big influence, ofcourse. he had to work a lot harder for recognition as france never won wc, messi was argentinian who easily had more exposure early on thnx to maradona makin them recognised and was with world class barca at a youth age.
Arabic is one of the most beautiful most poetic languages in the world. No 1 gives a siht what u think u shud keep ur opinion 2 urself u r just one ant in this world.
WHAT, you are comparing Messi to Zidane ?, come on man we all know that Messi is no where near Zidane.
All great players have left there trade mark in football for example Maradonna - 1986 world cup, Ronaldinho - 2002 world cup and Zidane - 1998 world cup, 2002 champions league & 2006 world cup. But Messi has accomplished nothing in order to be compared to zidane.
@vinciano So what, that doesn't mean he is to be compared to maradonna, When Messi does something as great as maradonna like win a world cup then tell me this.
In the mean time he is no where near Maradonna.
By the way it's Maradonna sucked not Maradonna sucks.
@littelrobinho You can't say zidane is better because he won a world cup.. Messi is 23 years YOUNG and has already scored over 160 goals for his club, won la liga 4 times and the champions league twice!! He still has many years ahead of him in his prime.. He is also the best player in the world and won all the awards for it the past 2 seasons. How many players can say they have won the champions league twice by the age of 23 and got 167 goals and 67 assists for his club ALREADY..
@littelrobinho iknow that ur comment was 2 years ago but u got something wrong the world cup 2002 is belong to il fenomeno not ronaldinho ronaldo was the most important player in the team
@littelrobinho yeah man i guess difference between messi and zidane is 2 years messi is just 23 and people need to realize of nothing happens to messi he gonna be the greatest ever with all respect to zidane hes one of my fav players but messi has truelly the potential to be the best ever
@willbling Zidane need his whole life to be a legend. He ended up at Real Marid where possess many other talents. They are Figo, Ronaldo, Raul...! Messi is only 23, his mind set is totally out of this world. No single player at this moment can match his skill. The way Messi score is unique! He's a pure genius. Zidane is a hard worker.
@TheExceptionLMessi Haha, you use the failure that was the Galacticos project to say that Zidane needed others? No man, others needed Zidane. Figo lasted 2 seasons before they signed Beckham, then he was on the bench. After Ronaldo's first season, he struggled for fitness once again. If you use one thing in an argument, at least get your facts right. Zidane used the most delicate touch to get past a player and then a sublime ball would set the forward on goal. Zidane will forever be better.
forget competition guy.....think they both playing together

in Messi age,Zidane was the best talent in France.
he lead small team Bordeoux to Uefa Cup final 1996.
with Juventus,won Seria A.
won WC98 and EURO 2000 with France.
CL 2002 and La Liga with Real Madrid.
and another WC final in 2006,his last ever match in his career
i say it again eventhough Messi or Ronaldo won a lot in young age,
no one is really sure that they will win WC in the future or play in two WC finals.

about two champions league final lost,
sometimes football is weird.
example
Maradona never won Copa America,European Cup.
When Roberto Baggio left Juventus and join European champion Milan in mid 90,
Juventus won European Cup without Baggio and Milan didnt win European Cup with Baggio.
when Maldini,perhaps the best defender of all time retired from Italian national team,Italy won WC 06.
but no one said Maradona,Baggio,Maldini not good.
