I look at it this way.....
last season(I think) Messi ran straight through Real Madrids team to slot home past Cassillas........awesome goal...pace, controlled finish...brilliant...
Maradona ran past Peter Reid......then had another 40-50 yards before anyone came near him.....for his 'wonder goal'
Messi by a mile....
Only a fool would argue against such a mountain of evidence.
Maradona was the best player in the world in every team he played in. Argentina, Spain, Italy, national competition - it didn't matter. I watched him in friendlies for random teams being the best player in the world. He had the arrogance and leadership skills to be the man.
Messi only does it for one team. He is utterly superb for that one team but take him out that team and he isn't the best player in the world. Why? Because he's not as good as Maradona.
Messi is a Bernabau homer, the Argies think he is shit. Over rated little shit who thrives on weaker teams. Bit of a bully boy.

Just like sky with them up the road its called a wankfest
Answer me one question and it'll be the last i mention on the matter.Why is practically every pundit, a few of the worlds top manager and ex players including Zidane,Figo and Ronaldo along with Alex Ferguson and Wenger saying he is the greatest ever? Am i missing something hear or does the smb know more than that lot?
Gary lineker played with Maradona and he reckons Messi is better.![]()
Link?

When I was growing up Maradona was in his prime, and for everyone of a certain age Pele was undisputedly the best ever.
People tend to look at players from their own golden age as the greatest.
In reality, as humans are constantly getting better at absolutely everything at a drastic rate, the golden boy of the current generation will inevitably be better by an absolute standard.
So then it's just a question of either judging them by their eminence at the time or just picking your favourite.
GK said:No they aren't and when Messi plays as good as this for more than one team rather than the 50% of teams he plays for, then I'll consider him as a true great.
Are you serious?
Tell me what humans aren't getting better at.
