From his wiki:
"Widely considered one of the greatest full-backs in history, in 2004 he was named by Pelé in the FIFA 100 list of the world's greatest living players."
Yeah, he was alright.

He scored better free kicks than the one I presume you’re referring to against France in 98. That free kick was more of a recreation of those he was scoring in Brazil.
He also scored some not bad ones for some Spanish club, Real Madrid or something
It was not at the World Cup that World Cup winner, dual copa america winner, four times la liga winner and three times champions league winner scored that goal. It was at the tournoi in 97 I believe which was the year he won second best player in the world.He scored better free kicks than the one I presume you’re referring to against France in 98.

So on balance I would argue he just about pipped Kerry mayo.

To be fair, El-Hadji Diouf made that list of the 100 greatest living footballers so I’m not sure what Pele said holds too much weight.
Admittedly Diouf never won the World Cup or the Champions League. However Diouf did score 6 more goals for Doncaster than Carlos ever managed so it’s pretty close.

Re Carlos - alongside is compatriot Cafu two of the fittest and greatest fullbacks the world has ever seen… I remember watching Carlos and thinking how utterly relentless he was marauding up and down the flank… this up against world class players…
Pervis has a similar engine… an absolute monster, and obviously our best ever full/wingback… better even than Stuart Tuck.

Careful now, Peter remains in a class of his own… he could fair gallop too.
Actually, I loved the old Smith - Mundee overlap.

No wonder Raul scored so many for Madrid… Just to reaffirm Carlos was an absolute one off… up there with the greatest Brazilian footballers ever and that is saying something…

I know, you can’t stop watching… his pace, skill, flamboyance… power… unreal, a generational talent.

RC also came second in the 1996 FIFA player of the year, not sure Diouf ever made that
