Ronaldo is one of the greatest players ever. Messi is an alien. You watch Christiano (in his prime) and you think "man, that is an insane player". You watch Messi and you think "that person is not human".

Dinho was a magician I agree. We'll probably never see someone like him again, especially with modern football stifling creative expression a little, at least at the top level.
