Four goals in the 1960 European Cup final make a useful introduction to Puskás: Real Madrid beat Eintracht Frankfurt 7–3. We rank him ninth for attacking precision and the ability to make the biggest stage feel like familiar territory. The counterargument is recency bias: modern footage and statistics are easier to consume, not proof that modern players were better. That concern could move him upward. We keep him below more expansive creators here, while admitting that a ranking built around finishing would produce a different order.
