The debate about Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona, who is the best? is not a new thing to soccer lovers across the world.
Soon after Messi hit headlines as one of the most promising teenagers, many soccer pundits did not fail to bet on him as one of the player who will take soccer to the next level. However, the star has come under pressure to deliver for his country.
You will agree that Maradona’s hand of god inspired Argentina to go all the way to lift the 1986 World Cup, something that separates the two.
Messi has been a plus for Barcelona lifting several titles including three champions league trophies but he has nothing to show for his nation. In the 2014 World Cup clash against Germany his side lost by a solitary goal. The same was witnessed against Chile in the COPA America final.
Wayne Rooney, the captain of England revealed that despite Maradona lifting the title Messi is still the best.
“Up to a couple of years ago, people were saying Messi wasn’t Maradona because he hadn’t won the World Cup. In my mind, Messi is a better player than Maradona. But that’s how football is,” Rooney is quoted by the Mirror.
