Maradona WASNT best for 20 years bc his opponents were better his opponents were like pele Cruyff maybe George best and Malidini and Ronaldo Nazario
My counter to his points is i dont think Messi could win at Napoli based on what ive seen
That guy should know better. In Maradonas time only the league champions could participate in the former ucl. But Maradona won the uefa cup which was as hard to win as todays ucl because all the 2nd-4th rated teams played there like Real, Man U, Bayern, Milan, Inter etc. With the rules Maradona had, Messi would have 3 Ucls less
Some people will never admit the true greatness of Messi due to their emotional bias towards other players. So they will look for all kind of silly excuses to downplay his achievements. Nobody in the history of football has played under such ridicilously high expactations since he was 18. Not only Messi met those expactations, but he even surpassed them. What he did during his career was superhuman, impossible. He is not only the greatest footballer, but also the greatest athlete.
I don’t agree.
Maradona and Messi BOTH are GOAT.
Maradona leaded a very weak team to won Serie A,and almost won world cup by himself.
BOTH ARE GOAT !
Pele 3🏆, Whole Argentina 3🏆
What he is saying here is Messi was the best for a longer time than Diego, but yet Diego was alone at the table for how he carried the team in 86 and how he brought emotion with his ruthless non sense and yet contagious vibes. Messi was better for longer but Diego was the more talented and we got to witness he true greatness for a short time. There is a reason Andre’s Cantor is wearing a Maradona shirt in this interview.
Los vi jugar a los 2.
En su prime Maradona fue mejor.
Esto funciona asi, Maradona pinto los mejores 3 cuadros de la historia, Messi del 4 al 20.
Eso no le quita meritos a Messi, pero en su prime (pico de rendimiento) Maradona fue mejor y en una época mucho mas dificil.
Otro aspecto importante Maradona a los 16 años ya era el mejor jugador del mundo y lo que jugo en Argentinos Juniors y Boca no lo vi nunca.
Y del 86 al 89 tambien fue el mejor y con diferencia.
Durante todos esos años al menos 8 balones de oro debió ganar…. pero en ese momento no se entregaban balones de oro a los extranjeros.
Por ultimo la copa América no tenia ninguna importancia en la epoca de Maradona solo se utilizaba como entrenamiento y prueba de jugadores en la selección previo a los mundiales.
Y Messi es el segundo mejor jugador que vi en mi vida y cerca de Maradona, ambos separados por mucho con el tercero…
Espero se entienda
Argentinas only put Maradona ahead of Messi only because of the world cup💯🤞
Messi was always miles better than Maradona but the fact that he didn't delicer the world cup, Maradona was always ranked ahead of Messi💯🤞
Maradona never won Copa América. Messi winning both the world cup and Copa America, then everyone said he's better than Maradona… now that Messi won another Copa América, he completely collapsed all the fictional debates and now sits at the top alone💯🤞
To be the GOAT, or ecen be considered that, you must first win the world cup, then win all other major trophies and be a conplete footballer💯🤞
There's a difference between goalscorers and footballers 💯🤞
Messi is on that table, and he has the only menu he will be the one to order. Of course, he will take diego advice, but the captain ( Messi) gets the final say. And you heard correctly the captain. The dude has not 1 but 2 copas diego 0. And a world cup
One won the World Cup by handball and drugs and the other by FIFA and penalties 😂😂😂😂
Only Messi is close to Maradona. If they hit Messi same way they hit Maradona he couldn't be 20 years at top of his game not even for a year maybe.
Messi is the better footballer by far but Diego represents the id of Argentina. To have much strength and determination but at same time weak and prone to vice. Every Argentine can see themselves in that
Maradona king football
I kinda get tired of ranking the greats, football is a team sport
Just use 2 different backgrounds on your mobile😅
Horrible take. Messi was the goat before winning the world cup.
20 years … Ok
Why is his throat so big
Comparing Pele, Maradona, CR7, Ronaldo Nazario to Messi is an insult to Messi…
You people need to understand that if you want to lowball him, he is still top 5 in every category you can think of..
Goals? Top 2
Assists? Top 1
Dribbling? Top 1, by far..But let's say top 3 with Maradona, Ronaldo Nazario..maybe Garrincha.
Playmaking?- With who? He's top 3 in company of Zidane, Xavi..
Vision? Those assists that he has the most of in football history didn't come from nothing..
Free kicks? In the last 5 years Messi has become one of the best free kick takers ever.
There has never been a player in this sport as good as Messi, and he has played at the top level more than both Maradona and Pele combined…
Your nostalgia for your idols is truly blinding..
There is no debate…
Those people who are talking about Xavi and Iniesta, do they know that Messi is a striker but has more playmaker awards than each of them??? 🤔
You see people saay Maradona is better than messi even till today is because either they cant accet the fact that there are players better than Diego or probably because they think playing in 70s 80s era means hardest times ever
Gary neville. Best player ever
It was written before they got here….Maradona wins his first loses his second final and Messi loses his first and wins his second final…..he should stay away from 2026 and retire gracefully as champion
Messi sits at a table by himself.
🇦🇷🏅🏆
No one talks about Maradona having never won the Champions League. Similarly, if Messi hadn't won the World Cup, it doesn't really matter.
Maradona touched hearts messi touched balls 🎱
Lio also wons de Copa América and the Olympics Games for Argentina, Diego didin't
Let's ask him again
For a better understanding, I will give an example of the difference between Diego and Leo.In the 20th century, World War 2 occurred.Many fighter pilots managed to destroy a large number of enemies by bombing. But no one puts their names next to the legendary heroes.No one says that a pilot who killed more than 5000 enemies in a war is a great general like Napoleon. The difference between Messi and Maradona is the difference between that pilot and Napoleon.Maradona was a knight, he was a Roman general, Maradona played football with faith and certainty
Maradona didn't need penalties to win the world cup, zero.
Messi scored mostly penalties to win the world cup.
Maradona dribbled through a whole team ( England).
Messi could barely score.
Diego Maradona all day!! 🔥
This is a real football fan who knows well that who should be crowned. He is not like other fans who watch football in only world cup. Hats off to you man
Messi is better
But know can Maradona SitT on sam table as messi hmm
no he cant
Messi the goat? Maybe but for me no.
Show me the time messi played in a mid table and the won the la liga x 2 plus all the other trophies. Where is the evidence? Messi only played with other greats. Wow congratulations how much easier it is to win!!
“Maradona never won the champions league 🤡.”
Maradona played for smaller clubs. Back then, only the champions would qualify. He single handedly took Argentina to the World Cup. I’m not saying he’s better than Messi though. They are both greats and shouldn’t be compared.
I dont like what he said
It all depends on the team tbh example: Ronaldo and Messi back then both were the best players in their teams but the rest were not so great to win the World Cup .
For twenty years straight playing with world class players at least maradona and other players tried to test their skills in serie a and the epl. Sure maradona Romario r9 and rivaldo could have won more if they began their careers in Barca. Playing for the best team doesn’t make u the best
Say that now
He's one of the worst soccer commentators on the Hispanic networks but because popular for his stream , how crazy is that
Diego is a very different level my man
Messi that only played for already made teams.
Maradona no footballer you can compare Diego Maradona we never see again no one like him.
Maradona understood the ball better than Messi…
Maradona didn't have iniesta nor Xavi, no disrespect to Messi but if Napolis team was as good as Barca Maradona would have dominated Europe too
Now Messi is a complete footballer than Maradona. He is the 🐐
Maradona first and messi comes after
Cr7 best ever . Win a World Cup doesn’t mean he is best . Kaka won World Cup . Does that mean he is the best ever
Maradona prime remains unreachable
