Argentine journalist says PSG superstar Lionel Messi will never surpass Diego Maradona

PSG superstar Lionel Messi Argentine journalist Luciano Wernike recently claimed that regardless of what happens in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Messi will never eclipse what Diego Maradona did for the Albicelste. Here's what he said to : Maradona in ’86 was like Aladdin with a miracle lamp. He was a genius playing with decent players and managed to be a world champion. For Messi, who is yet to score a World Cup knockout goal in eight fixtures, it’s virtually impossible to replicate Maradona. "Messi’s a wonderful player to watch and he’s been a changed man over the last two years with Argentina, someone with much stronger leadership skills. It’s almost as if he flicked a switch with the national team after Maradona passed away." The journalist added: "Lionel Scaloni (Argentina’s coach) has also managed to get the best out of Messi and help the team to not only play with him, but also play for him. However, at least for me, Messi will never compare to Maradona. It’s nothing against Messi, the footballer. It’s just that Maradona made me feel a way Messi or anybody else can’t. "Younger Argentines, who never saw Maradona in the flesh, think differently. For them, Messi is their generation’s messiah. But if you ask people like me, who’ve been around for a while (he’s 53), no matter what happens in Qatar, Messi won’t come close to Maradona’s level in Argentina."
