​@valenfiorini5676 lol

Messi led by example through his willingness to burden the responsibility in matches whilst having a humble and nurturing nature, which made his teammates willing to go to war for him.

@@Jeremy-rx2mb That's true. But I think all this comparison makes no sense. Diego played in much brutal era where defender break your legs and still get away with it without a card/ yellow. It was so hard. Also the strengths of team 86 was so harder than 22, also the pens Argentina recieved ,no chance for penalties like that in 80s. And Diego was 53 times fouled in 86 alone more brutally.Still performance wise Diego was clearly higher. Did everything from tackles to interceptions clearence to create and score,and two of greatest WC performance ever. Diego's achievement difficulty is levels above tbh.

Seems like Messi have no chrisma but he have very strong leadership tho, saw Messi led his team in 2021 copa and 2022 WC, feels like the team and fight and die for him, and it seems to me thats exceptional leadership required for that to happen

@RandolphOgbodutech if you would have put Messi in Napoli at the same time and age of Maradona, Messi would have been toasted in Italy. Maradona made Napoli champions twice in league titles in 1987 and 1990. The 1987 Coppa Italia, the 1990 Supercoppa Italiana, and the European trophy with the 1989 UEFA Cup. In the 1986 World Cup he was key for Agentina to win it, and what sets Diego on top of Messi is his leadership an attribute that Messi always lacked.

no one is comparable ... anyone who actually watched diego armando maradona wam ups know no one on the earth comes even remotely close!

he is not comparable to diego armando maradona... he does not even make 4/10 on maradona scale... no footballer has ever got to 5/10 on maradona scale... and i mean no one! maradona was not of this world divine!

always maradona... without a doubt... but it is shameful to even compare... at least with pele you could give pele maybe 5/10 on maradona scale... but messi on his bestest ever day in 2014 was maybe 3/10 on maradona scale...

More skill? Based on what? Creativity? You can’t say Maradona had more skill. You could say you personally like his creative style better. And that would be more than fair. But to flat out say he has more skill than Messi is dumbfounded. Just because Messi’s style is simpler, it doesnt mean is less skill. Skillwise, Messi is the best ever at: Shooting Passing Dribbling Vision First touch Ball control This, without dimisnishing Diego’s skill. He was an all time great at all these too. But Messi is just better.

What do you mean by saying Messi achieved what no other player has achieved? What has Messi achieved that has not been achieved? Messi won one World Cup, Pele won 3. Maradona lead a Millorca or Tenerife level team to win the UEFA Cup & 2 Serie A, captaining a ragtag Argentine time to a World Cup in the greatest individual tournament performance of all time.

Those awards are meaningless. Do you know how many South American Best Player awards Tevez had won? Messi won none! Aside from winning 3 World Cups which is a more objective criteria, Pele scored 77 international goals in 92 games. It took Messi almost double that appearance to beat Pele's record. Pele scored 12 goals & assisted 8 in 14 World Cup games, scoring a total of 3 goals over two finals. It took Messi a total of 26 games, almost a double of Pele's appearances, to score 13 & give 8 assists. Pls, I am very critical in my assessment of players & their greatness.

@njldst2007 Maradona was great,I personally knew him as he dated my Argentine American wife and became friends with her! He called evrytime he was in New York City and we went clubbing in after hours and did a lot of Coke! This was early 90s when he retired from playing professionally! Messi would never spend a night buzzing and sniffing, he is still totally devoted to his sport, he's boring, doesn't speak English, unlike Maradona who was life of the party, funny,charming and between the two, I'll take Maradona anytime over Messi! But this discipline made Messi into a monster he became! Overcoming dwarfism with pure will and therapy, training every moment of his life gave Messi longevity, strength and character to overcome his limitations! Both have similar level of talent, Maradona had personality of Alpha mail,Messi is quiet one and let's his work do the talking! I watched both playing in their prime and there's little that separate them,except Messis dedication!

@njldst2007 Maradona isn't smaller than Messi, Messi had dwarfism and is 5ft5 only because of hormones and training! Messi carried defenders holding him and never flopped to get penalties or yellow cards! Maradona was a hustler who didn't mind scoring with his hand of God! If Maradona had similar dedication, he would have been the GOAT,but instead Messi is!

@@pashapasovski5860 well that was all over the place. A) Messi is bigger than Maradona, the why and how of it is a different discussion, but the fact is, Messi is 5'7" and weighs 150 pounds, Maradona was 2-3 inches shorter and weighed around the same in his prime. You can visibly see the height difference in pics when Maradona managed Argentina and they're together on the training pitch. B) Messi is also strong, my statement never contradicted that. But if you're going pound for pound as you said, literally, Maradona was stronger C) Maradona is my GOAT, and there is actually a lot of differences in their play styles imo. I'd have Maradona play centrally and Messi as a Right Forward

That plus his effectiveness and consistency, that’s what puts him above everybody else imho. Add in how he’s the best of all time in so many areas like shooting and passing.
