Let's stop this comparison that's really insane. Messi is nobody when we are talking about Diego Armando Maradona the legend. Some lads here were born in 2000 the only players they know is Messi and Ronaldo. Let me educate you guys Pele and Maradona are legends. And beside goals Ronaldhinio is even the best No 10 than Messi

He's a true legend no offence. He did things which were hard to do in football and won so many trophies including World Cup. I can't forget the time he dribbled all the opponents from his own box to the oppositions box and then back to his own box....

Diego Maradona and Messi play of style is like this.....Both are living LEGENDS and it's better to praise both but NOT criticize one of them. Both Argentine LEGENDS..

Whatever people say. Maradona was far better than Messi. Messi has done good thing but with all technologies used to design his boots, modern day balls and jersey. Maradona did this without ball curling that much as it does today and old style soccer boots. Hats of to the greatest DM10

I really don't see the comparison between Messi an maradono they both have the same playing style but who is better by for its maradona, Messi brought into an good team a team on top.... Maradona didn't he single handedly carried Napoli and his national team to glory Messi has not carried any team to this day, maradona by far was a better player a proven legend...a proven great.
