Moore

I might be biased, but I'd go with Beckenbauer.
But the thing about him was that he was superb everywhere, that's what makes him the GOAT overall. Comparing two players from two different eras is very difficult and the thing about defenders is that they are usually overlooked unless they're also involved in offensive play. Both were fantastic players, but my personal choice would be Beckenbauer, defensively and overall.

Raphael Varane

La Liga: 2011–12, 2016–17
Copa del Rey: 2013–14
Supercopa de España: 2012, 2017
UEFA Champions League: 2013–14, 2015–16, 2016–17, 2017–18
UEFA Super Cup: 2014, 2016, 2017
FIFA Club World Cup: 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018

FIFA World Cup: 2018

Nesta

My Grandad says Duncan Edwards :)

Franco Baresi

Franco Baresi. But out of those two, Beckenbauer.

Costacurta. Nesta. Ayala.

I thought he was a midfielder or something that could be described as the predecessor of the midfielder. I'm sorry for what happened, maybe he could have become a legend.

Baresi, you pleb.

>Due to his skill and success, he was later known as "Kaiser Franz", a reference to fellow sweeper Franz Beckenbauer.
He was the best copy of Beckenbauer possible, but nothing beats the original.

Yeah my grandads an absolute boomer and basically wanks off the entire team that died during the Munich crash. Apparently Edwards was class tho, he could play basically anywhere.

1. Beckenbauer
2. Baresi
3. Moore
4. Maldini
5. Cafu

Gianto Sciraea

Maldini over Moore

This lad looks fantastic though from what I have seen
Krol likewise

This, but Maldini higher. VVD will break into this list by a couple years time.

gentile stopped peak maradona

Nesta

Goiko did too and so did Vierchowod

What are individual accomplishments for a defender?
no meme answers like ballon d'or

This guy knows

thuram

cringe

>But the thing about him was that he was superb everywhere
So was Maldini actually.
He was very good at going forward in his prime.

Only difference between Becks and Maldini is that Maldini wasn't fortunate to win the WC. Though he came close in 1994 where he along with Baresi shut down Romario-Bebeto for 120 minutes.

Maldini was better at defending, I'd say Becks was better at playmaking.

Le one decent WC manlet meme.

Baresi was a better defender though.

Good call.

Get the fuck out with this Moore shit.
And Cafu though GOAT is hardly even a defender

Best from the ones I saw is Nesta, who was the best for quite a bit of time from Euro 2000 to like 2008 when Ferdinand and then Vidic took over though Cannavaro had a high peak

Wing backs hard to look past prime Roberto Carlos

Maldini was very consistent for very long but I never considered him to be THE best. Maybe he was in the early 90s but by the time I was watching there was always someone better. Thuram and Stam forgotten nowadays but absolute monsters in early 2000s

Van Dijk

>loyal to Milan
>grandpa look
>GOAT defender despite being a manlet

Maldini was the best from the early mid 90s to the day he retired(and in the 80s/early 90s only Baresi rivaled him), period.
Everyone else can only compete for 2nd place(and yes that includes Nesta)

>Went to Serie B twice and didn't leave the club even though he had the opportunity to do that
>Gets rewarded later for his loyalty by Berlusconi building the greatest team of all time along with Sacchi
Truly justice.

Also
>reminder that Inter rejected him when he was young where his older brother played
>He went on to be Milan Captain for 15 years captaining Milan in 4 CL finals and winning 2 of them

Sergio Ramos

Not sure about his prime but I know he could play there and did so quite often for a period

Mikaël Silvestre

First of all, all the replies which lumped fullbacks and centerbacks together are discarded.

And if you believe Maldini is a valid choice as a CB, it just show how underage you are.

Top 5: Beckenbauer, Nesta, Blanc, Passarella, Baresi

>I can mention Beckenbauer who used to play for Germany and Bobby Moore when we played against England.I think those two players. Different style because Beckenbauer used to play more to control the game but man to man, the best was Bobby Moore. No doubt.

The GOAT speaks.

Stephan Lichtsteiner

So did others defenders

F. Hierro.

Sergio Ramos

DON ELÍAS FIGUEROA

is your dad Elias Figueroa??

How is Sergio Ramos a meme answer?
162 caps with Spain.
600+ games and captain for the arguably biggest club in the world.
World champion. Two time European champion.
Four time Champions League champion.
9 times FIFA FIFPro World XI.
etc, etc, etc.

Oh, and he's a brilliant defender, extremely dangerous from set pieces, absolute master of the dark arts, and riles up sojbojs and redditors as an added bonus.

Fuck off with your ancient players who were playing against literal potato farmers and accountants.
