Buenos Aires: Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi are legendary Argentinian players who ruled the world of football in two periods. A comparison between Messi and Maradona, who won the World Cup for Argentina, would be difficult to answer. Both are talented men who led Argentina to World Cup success in very similar ways.

Argentina’s star midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme is one of the rare players to have played alongside these two legends. When Riquelme was asked during a debate whether Messi or Maradona was the best football player of all time, this was his reply.

“When I was a kid, the best player I saw on a football field was Diego Maradona. Now that I’m growing up, Messi is the greatest. I’m lucky to have played with both of them. It’s a big dream for me.”

After 36 years since Diego Maradona and his team won the World Cup in 1986, Argentina will win the World Cup in 2022. Qatar is actually led by Lionel Messi.

Maradona scored 32 goals and 20 assists in 84 appearances for Argentina between 1979 and 1994. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi has played 180 matches for Argentina. The 36-year-old Messi has 106 goals and 56 assists.
