There are quite a few footballers who could play a half on CL level, like Stam, Henry, Zidane and de Boer. Real class and talent doesn't expire if the player keeps (casually) training. You could probably even put Maradona on the pitch but his heart would give in at Some point
Maradona, Puskás and Beckenbauer. Maradona's dribbling and Puskás' shot would still make them GOATs in modern football. Beckenbauer was so complete as a footballer that he would fit in every world class roster.
Pelé, Di Stéfano and Best would be good strikers like Ibrahimović, Van Basten or Ronaldo Nazário, but defenders were useless in the 60s compared to nowadays, so they would only be remembered as awesome strikers instead of GOATs - for example, Romário had it tougher than them concerning organised defenses. Maybe Torpedo Müller as well. Cruyff would be way too slow for pacy modern midfielders in fedora positions.
Anything that requires real physicality, I don't think anyone can. The size, speed and strength of athletes has gone through the roof in the past 20yrs.
Maybe someone like Jack Nicklaus?

I'm assuming here, that we're talking about taking them at their best.
