The players of the highest level that Argentina has produced are just outstanding, not just for the quality, but for the quantity as well. Players who were and are often referred to as the greatest of all-time by those who saw them. Some, I should point out, are incredibly underrated, such as Antonio Sastre, cited by many as an even better player than José Manuel Moreno.


Manuel Seoane
Raimundo Orsi
Antonio Sastre
Adolfo Pedernera
José Manuel Moreno
Alfredo Di Stéfano
Diego Maradona
Lionel Messi


These are just a few names that were frequently mentioned on the greatest of all-time shelf. Others — Alberto Ohaco and René Pontoni, for instance — were also of high level of quality.

From the most remote times, Antonio Sastre and José Manuel Moreno were constantly mentioned as superior players to Diego Maradona and Alfredo Di Stéfano. Including, reaching the point of being mentioned as superior players or of identical level to Pelé.
