With all due respect to Ramos and Terry Maldini was a different level in actual defending. 25 years at the top he faced everyone from Platini and Maradona, to R9 to CR7 and Messi.

You can't compare Ramos to Maldini 😄 Maldini is waaay more better, smarter, cool headed and can make smart decisions instantly. Ramos on the other end is just trying to do the same, but loosing his cool many times ending uo with yellow and red cards. Maldini was one of the fundamental pillars for AC Milan, almost irreplacable. Ramos is just a kid, who you can fool into a red card, Maldini is a smart strategist and leader, who is cooling down his own team leading to a win.

Maldini could play EVERY position in defence, he cannot be compared to the names you listed. That's why Maldini is also their idol (both Ramos and Terry). And Maldini never won the World Cup, his last competition with the national team was the World Cup 2002, when South Korea robbed us with that piece of garbage of Byron Moreno (referee that day who sold the game for money since South Korea was the host of the world championship that year. Years after he was arrested for trafficking drug)

What ? The only think that ramos is above maldini is wc. Ramos is a foul merchant , not a lot of clean takles like maldini , maldini in +1000 matches he have only 4 red cards , ramos have a lot a lot more bro , maldini played vs 3 diff generation vs all the goats of football , and ramos was playing with messi , and he was getting packed all days , the only think that ramos would do is a foul to stop messi , he is NOT the greatest of all time , bro all the deffence line of milan 2007 is better than ramos , let the foul merchant away from the true goats @@BANGSOFinnaBlow

Ramos is good i agree , but if deffending for you is doing fouls and destroying carrers , that's a huge issue.

Baresi and Beckenbauer were superior defenders to Ramos as well. Argument can be made for Cafu as well

Would add Cannavaro to that too. In terms of defending I'd always put Ramos in the same category as Chiellini. World class but not top 5

@@doublen7135 I can get on board with that. It should all be noted that those guys played in an era where defense was an art and was simply far more respected than today. Italy had a string of just incredible defenders. Maldini, Baresi, Nesta (I’m a Milan fan), Cannavaro.

But yeah he was doing this against not just slouch, you did notice some of them...but he did this against the likes of R9, Ibra, Zidane, Del Piero, Totti and many many more........and also, no, he never won the WC and it is his biggest regret to this day, after like so many WC and him getting older and after the robbery at the 2002 WC he just decided to focus on club football and retire from international football...little did he know Italy won in 2006, so he basically rejected the call from the national team...but if he didn't do that, the debate would be probably over of him being the best defender of all time.

maldini and baresi had a record of conceding 29 goals in 196 games played with each other.. whilst you see him tackling a lot .. all these tackles are pre emtive and force the players to concede the ball or maldini has already predicted the move hence he starts tackling way before the ball even reaches his opponents.. this day and age football has gotten soft...
