50+ Maradona Says Messi Is Better Gif. Pele has dismissed suggestions lionel messi is the best footballer of all time. I said that if there is a football god, it is ronaldo.
'was he better than messi?' When diego maradona was staking his claim to the title of best ever, most of the world could only get a quadrennial glimpse of his genius, when he turned out for argentina in the '82, '86, '90 and '94 world cups. Both players are icons in argentina and maradona was also messi's coach during his brief time in charge of the national team, which included argentina being thrashed by germany in the 2010.
I find it very difficult to declare with any great conviction that messi is the better player because i grew up during the 80s when diego maradona dominated football.
Messi followed maradona's footsteps in heading to barcelona from his homeland, becoming an icon in his own right and winning six ballon d'or crowns with more recently, maradona was seen giving avid support to messi and argentina at the world cup in russia in 2018. Deigo maradona and lionel messi have often been compared in the debate about who was the greatest footballer of all time. Messi, maradona, riquelme and veron are from another planet. messi is the best no. The friendship i have with lionel is bigger than anything they can write, and i'm saying that he's the greatest in the world. leo is a great talent, a very good boy, but they want.
