Sports enthusiast have had course to disagree on who is greater between these two Argentine football living legends. While some argue that Maradona has won the world Cup and Messi has not, others feel that in looking at who is greater, we have to look beyond the FIFA World Cup, as there are several other players who have won the World Cup but can not be compared with Messi.
So far, Diego Maradona scored a total of 31 goals for Argentina during his hey days, while Messi as at time of this write-up has scored 46 goals for Argentina. Interestingly, Messi was also privileged to win the Olympic Men football Gold for Argentina, which is also among the Three FIFA most recognized tournament, others are the FIFA World Cup and FIFA Confederations Cup.
On issue of the Copa America, Maradona did not win the title during his playing days, while Messi has not won it, but, still have one more opportunity to win it if he does not retire from international football in 2019. The Copa America is arguably the oldest international continental football tournament.
When we come to club football, Messi has won everything available in the game, but Maradona did not during his playing days. On individual football award, Messi did not just win individual awards, but he broke records and created fresh records that are yet to be surpassed.
This article is not aimed at reaching a conclusion based on the statistics available, but it is also interested in the individual opinion of a large number of Sports enthusiast, critics and fans of both living legends.
