Messi "best player of all time"

[Methuselah]

If Messi had ever seen Len Shackleton play, he would have said 'I wish I could play like him'.

Did you not just read what I said? Maradona was at Napoli at the one time in their history when they were loaded. Before and after his era they haven’t had the resources to compete (bar the last two/three years). He’s been elevated by circumstance, his achievements stand out more due to the factors mentioned. He does the same thing in an AC Milan jersey (with his same Napoli teammates) there is nowhere near the acclaim.

Here’s a question, how many times have Napoli broke the world transfer record before Maradona? Since Maradona?

Answer is none.

Regards Barca, how many times did Maradona win the league there? Cup Winners Cup vs Man Utd? They won the league the year after he left though.

You failed to answer my question

Conclusion amongst naysayers is that the goat must not play for the best teams.
Ridiculous!
Messi has turned in 40 goals a season every year. I love maradona but those making comparisons saw him on tv every four years, maybe the odd game on tv and then the same reused footage. Messi doesn’t have the same mystic as we have seen so much of him with modern age television coverage - yes he has had bad games but he has constantly performed for over a decade

Lot of truth in that. They’ve based it on highlight reels

Go watch Barcelona vs Manchester United, 1983-84 Cup Winners Cup quarterfinals, the full 90 minutes of both legs. Take a real good look when Diego did the sum total of feck all as Barca were dumped out.

Prior to Mexico ‘86, in Maradona’s own words, he was not being talked about prior to the tournament as being the star attraction, he was 4th/5th on the list. Zico and Platini 1 and 2. Messi has never not been the main man (or one of two) going into a tournament.

I’m no Messi fanboy but if I was the Argentina manager I’d call my team off the pitch and tell them to stuff it.

messi spews it again

He's gone. An imposter now.

Used to have the same status as a Zidane, now he's on a par with Jonjo Shelvey.

So now you can get sent off for being assaulted. Football has completely lost the run of itself.

I would put the odds on that referee having taken a bribe at 100%

Hard that red ref. Was VAR used to review it?
