Despite being the only defender to win the balon dor in recent time, I feel like he’s never mentioned among the all time great defenders. Was he truly the best player in the world in 2006? And was he one of the best cbs of his generation

Very good and definitely one of the best of his generation but not sure he'd make my top 10 CB's. If he does it'd be outside the top 5 for sure. Nesta was comfortably better except for the 2006 WC. He absolutely wasn't the best player across 2006 but he was definitely the best defender at the WC.
