Dr_Pangloss Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) To be fair to Messi, Maradona never scored 91 goals in a year or get voted best player on the planet 4 years running. Dunno why they only focus on what Diego achieved as the benchmark. Maradona never played for a club team that was even as half as good as the Barca team Messi has played in. If Messi had to play for a team of the quality of Maradona's Napoli, he wouldn't have scored anywhere near that number of goals in a year.

This He also played in a league where games were tighter and tackles were more brutal Don't get me wrong. Messi is a sensational player, he's just not the best of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He elevated them to their most successful period in their history.. Messi plays for a great Barcelona team...
