The artificial intelligence system chose the greatest legends of this sport, but there are some who were left out.
ChatGPT is one of the great artificial intelligence revolutions worldwide. With its facility to answer questions, make lists and write long essays, it is one of the most recognized AI tools in recent years.
Being able to answer questions on an infinite number of topics, the ChatGPT was consulted on which are the most relevant soccer players in history. Most of the names it provides can be found in any ranking, but there was one name in particular that was surprisingly absent.
Johan Cruyff
Cruyff was the winner of three Ballon d’Ors throughout his successful career.
Hendrik Johannes Cruijff, known in the world of soccer as Johan Cruyff, was a player of Dutch origin considered one of the stars of European soccer of the 20th century. He triumphed at Ajax in the Netherlands and at Barcelona in Spain, where he won numerous trophies.
In addition, he was coach of both clubs: the first led him between 1985 and 1988, while Barça was under his command from 1988 to 1996. The International Federation of Football History and Statistics cataloged him as the best player in Europe in the 20th century. and the second best player of the same century. He won three Ballon d’Ors and passed away in 2016.

The Portuguese legend, currently with Al-Nassr FC in the Arab league, is one of the greatest goalscorers the sport has ever seen. He is the all-time top scorer for the Portuguese team and for Real Madrid, the club where he played most of his career.
He won five Champions League: one with Manchester United and four with Real Madrid. He has five Ballon d’Ors and the aforementioned federation highlighted him as the best scorer of all time.
The ChatGPT chose the five most important soccer players of all time.
Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi has a World Cup, something only three members of this list were able to achieve.
The Rosario star, recent World Cup champion in Qatar 2022, is one of the most influential soccer players of the 21st century. Throughout his career he was mainly linked to Barcelona in Spain, where he won more than 35 titles, including the local league and the Champions League.
He won seven Ballon d’Ors and has an absolute record: he is the only footballer and only Argentine to win a Laureus award for best international male athlete of the year, in 2023. He is the top scorer for the Argentine team and Barcelona.
Diego Maradona

The ChatGPT chose the Boca star as the second best player of all time. Unlike the players named above, Maradona never won a Ballon d’Or. He rose to international prominence at Napoli in Italy, where he established his club as a top-tier competitive institution.
In 1986, he was world champion with the Argentine team; It was in that tournament where in a match against England he immortalized two of the most important goals in history: the goal with the hand (“The hand of God”) and the goal of the century.

FIFA and ChatGPT classified him as the best of all time. Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known worldwide as Pelé, has one of the most impressive records in sport: throughout his career, he has surpassed 1,000 goals scored. Likewise, the aforementioned entity only takes 757 official goals.
“O Rei” played almost his entire career for Santos in Brazil, and it was during this period that he played and won three World Cups with his country’s team.
The great absentee of Artificial Intelligence
As ChatGPT explains in its development, the list can exclude different big-name players.
One of them, conspicuous by his absence, is Alfredo Di Stéfano. Nicknamed “La saeta rubia”, he shone at River Plate and Real Madrid, the club for which he became the all-time top scorer.

He won two Ballon d’Ors, but there is something that stands out above the rest: he is the only player to have the Super Ballon d’Or, an award given by France Football magazine as the best of all the Ballon d’Or winners until 1989. In addition, he won five European Cups (Champions League later) with Real Madrid and eight local leagues.
