Maradona comparisons messing with Messi's mind?

Question

Is Lionel flattered or flummoxed by all the comparisons to the Argentinian legend?

Answer 1

The Barcelona ace says the comparisons to Diego Maradona are actually unfair to Maradona, saying they undermine the Argentine's own achievements. He told Perros de la Calle: "Even if I play for a million years I will never be near to what Maradona was as a footballer, and I don't want to be near. He is the best player of all time. I don't compare myself with Maradona, I want to make my own history and do something important with my own career."
