    Platini was elegant and graceful on the pitch. He had a rather long and successful career on both levels: club and international. France won that '84 Euro simply because of him.
    The same things can't be said about Zidane though. Even though putting up awesome moves every now and then he did also get several red cards for dirty play. His peak also was rather short: a few nice summer runs in World Cups and a wondergoal in UCL, outside of that nothing too special. He played several seasons for the first candy man team in Madrid with a long list of legends and could only provide one UCL win. He also ended his whole career in disgrace. Materazzi proved that Zidane was a hothead who could explode at any moment.
    Platini for me every day of the week, twice on sundays.

    Michel Platini is arguably France's best-ever footballer.
    Platini was the brightest star in the world back then, winning three Ballons d'Or consecutively in 1983, 1984 and 1985.
    Football lovers cried with him when France lost in the World Cup semi-finals again in 1986.
    A year later, he retired at the age of 32.
    It seemed a premature, cruel decision to the millions who got joy from watching him play.

    Been waiting for this video. Platini is for me an all-round better footballer than Zidane. I saw this man dominate Euro/World football 82 to 85 (econd only to Maradona. Hs range of passing was second to none, had great vision, dribbling ability (on old style pitches) and the 2nd best goal scorer from midfield I ever saw. Plus he scored so many goals in what was by far the best defensive league (Italy) without the protection modern day footballers get. A deadly free kick artist, he carried both Juve and France for years and was robbed of W Cup final in 86.
    Don't get me wrong Zidane is more graceful and had a better first touch and is a fantastic player... but if Platini played in the same or later era he would be spoken about in th same way as Zidane,,, his game was well ahead of his time. Corruption scandal aside one of the best to ever do it. (PS Ask Juv fans who watched both who is the greater legend)

      @@carlosimotti3933 No, he was not, before 1986 Platini was considered the most talented player in the world, even Platini has more notable feats at the club level than Maradona since his beginnings. Another example is Lothar Matthäus reached 3 consecutive World Cup finals, Spain 82, Mexico 86 and in Italy 90 he was the figure of that World Cup masterfully leading Germany. He also won a UEFA Cup and an Italian league. In addition to winning everything with Bayern. In my opinion Platini and Matthäus were much better players than Maradona, it's just that Maradona has a whole propaganda apparatus in his favor, to sell the narrative that he was the best of all time when clearly he is not.

    If you count stats, Zidane would come nowhere near any of the top players. But zidane's game especially with France, you can see how he takes his team to the next level. That is something I have seen very rarely afterwards.

    Zidane is a way better player. Zidane s art with the ball in unmatched yet. Remember Zidane, Maldini and Maradona have been voted in most expert's all time Playing 11. Platini was a world class player just as what Xavi has been for Spain and Barcelona. But Zidane is an all time great. Platini was a more of a great passer who also had a Frank Lampard's goalscoring ability with him. Zidane s greatness was give him the ball and it becomes an art. The things one can do with a ball with his feet is why people rank or rate players. You can see the type of matches both had played for France and Juventus. You can see platini score more goals always but Zidane, give him the ball and he is more of a Brazilian skilled who could pass like Zico.

      It’s hard to compare the two. Platini played further forward and was expected to score goals. Maradona was a player who mostly created goals for others. I say this despite Platini being my childhood footballing hero. He singlehandedly won Euro 1984 in the same way as Maradona did for Argentina in the World Cup in 1986.
