http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-Maradona-c11160 considers himself and Lionel Messi as the best footballers to go down in history books
Former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296. The world Cup winner was quite pleased to discuss the success of striker and wished him all the very best for his future.
The legendary figure claimed that Messi has taken the world by storm with his immense talent and is certainly the best player around. Maradona further claimed that he along with Messi would be regarded as the best players in the history and no other footballer
would come even close to their criteria.
The former Argentina coach was extremely delighted to see the striker score two goals against arch-rivals Real Madrid and that too in the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League. Messi scored twice in space of 11 minutes to earn the Catalan giants a vital
two away-goal advantage. The striker’s second goal received a bundle of applause not just from the legendary Maradona but the whole lot of fans who were present inside and outside the stadium. The whole football community also hailed the effort of the 23-year-old,
who made that second goal all by himself and also applied the finishing touch to it. That goal has opened up a debate and majority of the people have actually started believing that, ‘Messi is just another Maradona’.
The 50-year-old mentioned, "The key point is that we are two Argentines who were able to conquer European football, when many could not even cross the Rio de la Plata. I love Leo and whenever I see him on the pitch it is a joy to watch. Two Argentines at
the top, imagine what [http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pele-c40189] must be thinking!"
Maradona also commented on Argentina’s 2010 FIFA World Cup campaign and the way he tried to manage Messi in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757.
When quizzed upon the advice he offered to the striker, Maradona said, "I spoke to him about how to carry the pressure of being the star, carrying a team on his shoulders and cope with the press looking at you with a magnifying glass, he said. Every person
has his own life, and he is healthy, focused and quiet."
Barcelona will take on Real Sociedad in their next League game on Saturday, April 30, and Messi would be missing that game due to a niggle he picked up while playing against Madrid.
