He rarely gets spoken about now in those conversations about all time great players; for whatever reason he’s just not in vogue. Ask people who the greatest ever French player is and 9/10 will say Zidane then maybe Henry/Mbappe. Rarely will people say Platini.
Which is a shame, as he was an insanely talented player who scored some unbelievable goals. He was a wizard.

Old head Juventus fans are still saying he was better than Maradona. That should sum it up.
From the few full games I have seen him play, he was great at reading the game: he always moved the right way and was elite off the ball, his passing was rather straightforward but always intelligent, he was superbly precise technically and compared to the other really great number 10s of that era he was less “dribbling-oriented” and more of a team player, maybe because he wasn’t explosive physically.
