On Monday, the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" posed a curious question to the artificial intelligence application "ChatGPT" about the best football players in history.
Before answering the question, the AI clarified that choosing the top players in history is highly subjective and can vary according to different opinions. It emphasized, however, that the players it selected are widely recognized due to their skills, achievements, and individual contributions to the successes of their clubs and national teams.
The AI chose six players, including four football legends who have passed away but left a lasting legacy thanks to their individual performances leading their teams and countries to European and global championships.
