“There is no doubt that Messi is the best player in the world. He is a better player than http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604. He is special. But I will not put him with Pele
and Maradona yet. He needs little more to join the ranks of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pele-c40189 and Maradona. Of course, he needs to win the World Cup.”
After an illustrious career in football, Romario announced his retirement from football in 2009, before becoming a politician.
