3 World Cup finals
the most in history
but ya tell me some old dude who played vs part timers in 1970 is better? Fuck outtta here lmao
cafu tbf
But yeah Pele only won 1 wc as the teams best player
1962 he was injured after 1 game and 1970 he wasn't their best player. People just assume otherwise for the latter because he was MOTM in the final but he wasn't their best player if you consider the entire campaign. This isn't even factoring in the opposition level context in which messi wipes
But regardless, whatever case Pele has, will be obliterated after this wc if ARG win since Messi has more WCs as the team's best player. And the most in history for that matter
Even if he loses, 3 golden balls is more than enough to end the debate and that's confirmed
