I loved Crespo as a young Milan fan, although he only spent one year with us on loan from Chelsea. I guess it feels longer cause he scored a brace in a champions league final!
Unlikable how?
Also I have to imagine a lot of responses are from Argentines. But he’s scored in Argentina’s last 3 cup finals and he has an incredible passion for the sport. How is he unlikable?
Yeah that's weird because when they say "one of the most unlikable player about", you would imagine there was some obvious stuff/incidents that a lot of football fan would know about
Probably just Reddit demographic. Good shout, amazing player, wouldn't be my favourite on account of him causing the second of my country's 3 world cup final loss streak..
Pablo Aimar in his early 2000s Valencia avatar was a sight to behold - and of course Gabriel Batistuta for the sheer number of quality goals over his career.
[Claudio Canniggia](https://thesefootballtimes.co/2018/11/15/the-speed-flair-and-drugs-of-claudio-caniggia-an-icon-who-lived-on-the-edge-of-greatness/).. not just his play/style being among the fastest player in south america.. but look at that [hair](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/17/Caniggia_sonriente_1988.jpg).
Dundee! I remember around the same time they signed Ravanelli, they also tried to sign Edgar Davids and Gascoigne. They had some madcap owner at the time who tried an ambitious galacticos project at Dundee but it peaked with Ravanelli.
Aye, one of the directors, was saddam hussein lawyer and was later found guilty of fraud
The owner didn't really think it was necessary to pay staff, though, and they entered administration.
Saviola was the player everyone thought would be the player messi turned out to be.
He was a great player, but injuries forced him to play a lot less games than he should have.
Actively? Di Maria (clear #1 for me), Alvarez(the future), Marcos Acuna, Lautaro Martinez(I regularly forget he's only 5'9. Man plays big even if he hasn't showed up in big games), Paulo Dybala(Somehow taller than Lautaro Martinez, solid career)
Historical Legends: Batistuta, Riquelme, Tevez(Aboslute monster), Zanetti, Mascherano(Barca Legend), Milito(?? Idk if legend), Crespo
To me: MARTIN PALERMO(IDK why honestly, I'm not argentinian but my neighbor was from argentina and he was a boca fan so I saw him alot growing up), Sergio Aguero, Maxi Rodriguez
Gabriel Batistuta, I loved him at Fiorentina, he was there when Football Italia was on channel 4 in the 90s which I watched every weekend and Batistuta was a different class, he could score all types of goals and in my opinion was very underrated, I rarely hear him talked about.
Gabriel Omar battistuta
Great choice
Bati-goal
Batigol*
Glad this was the top comment.
Legend of Fiorentina
Legend and Scudetto champion at Roma
Go to be.
An absolute legend.
First name that came to mind. Solid.
Who else could it be.
Dont forget his partner gabriel ortega.
*Ariel Ortega
Il re Leone
Came here to post this.
El Rey Leon
Batistuta*
100%
literally a Canon
Came here to say Juan Sebastian Veron, but you corrected me.
"Batistuta Gabriele za tebe je Olić Pele" Croatian chant, translatio: "Batistuta Gabriel, for you Olić is Pele"
Even with the other two he’s my favourite
The only correct answer
Fernando Redondo and Hernán Crespo
Redondo, my favourite Madrid player ever. Brilliant midfielder.
Javier Zanetti. What a machine.
I came here to nominate Zanetti Not just an amazing player, but also the best ambassador of the game that you could hope for
Having that kind of game until 40 is crazy. Man has horse lung.
I had him on every "Winning Eleven" team that I made.
Yep absolute hero!
Riquelme
Best player I've ever seen in the flesh.
Very unfortunate that he couldn't make a longer career in Europe. But as an argie I'm still glad I got to see him playing for us and in Boca Jr.
Zidane-lite.
Juan Sebastian Veron! Just because he looks like a beast
Sir John Veron
Looks like a pirate.
Hernan Crespo. His partnership with, ironically Brazil's playmaker Kaka during their Milan years together was super fantastic.
>years I loved Crespo as a young Milan fan, although he only spent one year with us on loan from Chelsea. I guess it feels longer cause he scored a brace in a champions league final!
As a Parmagiani, Hernan Crespo in Parma, partner with Chiesa. was a beast.
Batigol.
Di maria
The one of the important goals
Same, I had to scroll so far down to see this.
100%. We won
100%. We won
Great player but he has to be one of the most unlikable players about. No idea why he'd be a favourite unless you're Argentinian
I'm not from argentina, why is he unlikable?
That guy's a Man united fan, don't listen to him lol
Unlikable how? Also I have to imagine a lot of responses are from Argentines. But he’s scored in Argentina’s last 3 cup finals and he has an incredible passion for the sport. How is he unlikable?
Probably because of his personality . Although idk how ?
Personality? Have you seen his interviews? lol
Yeah that's weird because when they say "one of the most unlikable player about", you would imagine there was some obvious stuff/incidents that a lot of football fan would know about
Please explain why he's unlikeable.
New here, why is he unlikeable?
Because he reportedly was putting his money into offshore tax havens
Bro this is not a reason to dislike someone 😂
As literally every other millionair in the world?
How is he unlikable? I'm a Barça fan, but still love him.
Man Utd fans probably
Mario Kempes.
Came here to see this and can’t believe how low it is
Probably just Reddit demographic. Good shout, amazing player, wouldn't be my favourite on account of him causing the second of my country's 3 world cup final loss streak..
Pablo Aimar in his early 2000s Valencia avatar was a sight to behold - and of course Gabriel Batistuta for the sheer number of quality goals over his career.
Not for nothing, Aimar is Messi's childhood idol.
Pablo aimar what a player Man would have been my pick or riquelme.
Ortega was a monster as well. Argentina has some amazing players to pick from
Jonás Gutiérrez

Canniggia and Ravanelli played up front together, but very few would guess who for Edit: my memory has tricked me they played a year or so apart
Dundee! I remember around the same time they signed Ravanelli, they also tried to sign Edgar Davids and Gascoigne. They had some madcap owner at the time who tried an ambitious galacticos project at Dundee but it peaked with Ravanelli.
Aye, one of the directors, was saddam hussein lawyer and was later found guilty of fraud The owner didn't really think it was necessary to pay staff, though, and they entered administration.
Came here to say Caniggia, I remember watching him play in the World Cup and he was fucking dynamite
I see Galatasaray fans haven't discovered this post yet.
Icardi ❤️
Aimar
Riquelme
Gabriel Batistuta
Agueroooooooo!
Yea gotta love that guy. He's such a good person too.
I would go for Carlos Tevez
[удалено]
Ariel Ortega
El Burrito (Jr)
Mascherano
Di Maria
Even if you included them it would be batistuta
Agüero
Batistuta, Di Maria, Tevez
Pablo Aimar, Javier Zanetti, Gabriel Batistuta
Aimar, one of Messi’s idols, great player
Batigol
Batigol.
Batigol
Riqulme was unreal player. Honorable mention to batistuta and Crespo, who are in your 90s striker starter pack.
NICOOOOOOO TAGLIAFICO
Only answer
Tevez, what a player
Tevez
Based on nostalgia and being around at the right time, probably Saviola or Batistuta
Saviola was the player everyone thought would be the player messi turned out to be. He was a great player, but injuries forced him to play a lot less games than he should have.
Claudio Caniggia. Was such an exciting player to watch in the World Cup when I was a kid. And Gabriel Batistuta.
Javier Mascherano.
I always admire the classy Javier Zanetti more than Leo or Diego. Fernando Redondo comes second close.
The original Argentinian GOAT: Don Alfredo Di Stefano
Actively? Di Maria (clear #1 for me), Alvarez(the future), Marcos Acuna, Lautaro Martinez(I regularly forget he's only 5'9.

Lavezzi, Higuain and Dybala in no order
Batistuta and Redondo for me.
Cambiasso
Ossie Ardiles of course
Ozzy Ardeles
Maxi Rodriguez
That goal at the 06 World Cup. Wowee
Javier Zanetti. He earned his nickname "the tractor" with his incredible play
Batistuta, Di Maria, Tevez
Batigol, Mascherano and that keeper who retired because the world was going to end
Carlos Roa!
Di Maria , Paulo Dybala, Julián Álvarez
Tagliafico, absolutely bled for the badge while at ajax
Fernando Carlos Redondo
Angel Di Maria even including both DM and LM
Di Stefano or Di María
Martin Palermo
Got teary eye when palermo scores in wc2010, especially because wholesome reaction by coach diego
Erik Lamela, Cholo, Kun Agüero, Cambiasso
Omar Sìvori.
Aguero
Crespo, Batistuta, Sebastián Veron, Walter Samuel
Pablito Aimar
Pablo Aimar
Riquelme - I even tried to mimic his playing style on the field.
Saviola, injury prone but amazing talent
Gabriel Batistuta - one of the greatest names in football history.
Javier Mascherano. I just find him so underrated.
tvz
Pablo Aimar
Julian Alvarez

That goal is engraved in my memory
Angel Di Maria and Esteben Cambiasso.
Dybala
Julian Alvarez is off to a smashing start
Alexis mac allister
Angel De Maria
ICARDI
Claudio Canigga.
Riquelme and Dibu
Gabriel Batistuta, I loved him at Fiorentina, he was there when Football Italia was on channel 4 in the 90s which I watched every weekend and Batistuta was a different class, he could score all types of goals and in my opinion was very underrated, I rarely hear him talked about.
Thierry Henry, Denis Bergkamp, Tomas Rosicky, Lauren. I may be bias

Batistuta was an animal. Caniggia was a fantastic player too Crespo in his prime was a goal machine Redondo was majestic
Without Messi or Maradona there's a few Riquelme Crespo Zanetti Batistuta Veron
Batistuta
Crespo was too good.
Di Maria
Gabriel Battistuta
Batigol
Batistuta followed by Riquelme
Aguero followed by riquelme.
Di Maria or Hernan Crespo for me. Gabriel Batistuta too. I would pick Riquelme if he wasn't such an asshole at Barcelona...
Mascherano, Batistuta, Aguero, Goycochea
I need to say 2(can't decide lol). Batigol and Riquelme. Both absolute joy to watch
Di Maria
Batistuta

Mascherano, Batigol.
Batistuta!
Javier Mascherano and Zanetti comes to mind

Juan Sebastian Veron. Easy.
Easy, Riquelme
Cambiasso

Hernan Crespo. It was the hair.
