I’m sad that this is the last tournament we will see him at
Some compared Ronaldo to him.Imagine some people are comparing Mbappe to him.
Wtf is going on here.

If Sachin is Messi, and 2011 is 2022, then Yuvraj is Alvarez.
But who will be Gambhir/Dhoni?
Steve Smith you mean? True GOAT

I think he's definitely the best ever but I do think Maradona did a bigger carry job in that tournamentAt this point he doesn't even need to win the World Cup to be the best ever. He's carried this team to the final more than Maradona did when they won it. Didn't need to cheat with a handball either.
Key difference is the one you don't think matters. Maradona carried the team to a win. All that matters.At this point he doesn't even need to win the World Cup to be the best ever. He's carried this team to the final more than Maradona did when they won it. Didn't need to cheat with a handball either.
He did cheat with a handball against the Netherlands!At this point he doesn't even need to win the World Cup to be the best ever. He's carried this team to the final more than Maradona did when they won it. Didn't need to cheat with a handball either.
I'd say Mbappe currently does as Messi despite still being magical isn't quite what he was in his peak Barca days.Nobody comes close to this guy.
Maradona had a better Argentina team to support him, not to mention he had to cheat to get to the final.Key difference is the one you don't think matters. Maradona carried the team to a win. All that matters.
Nonsense go back and watch Maradona 86 again.At this point he doesn't even need to win the World Cup to be the best ever. He's carried this team to the final more than Maradona did when they won it. Didn't need to cheat with a handball either.
What nonsense.At this point he doesn't even need to win the World Cup to be the best ever. He's carried this team to the final more than Maradona did when they won it. Didn't need to cheat with a handball either.
Outside of this forum it ended a long time ago to be honestThe debate really is no longer on is it?
No one remembers any of that when it comes to legacy.Maradona had a better Argentina team to support him, not to mention he had to cheat to get to the final.
Messi has a far better legacy than Maradona though, he is head and shoulders at club level.No one remembers any of that when it comes to legacy.
It was never a debate when it came to actual talent. Ronaldo got in due to other factors.The debate really is no longer on is it?
Maybe in your opinion. As far as masses go theres no such widespread opinion that holds Messi as the outright better player.Messi has a far better legacy than Maradona though, he is head and shoulders at club level.
You think Messi's a sociopath?I'd say that Messi comes across (much) more as "boring" or "bland" rather than "humble". There's plenty of stories going around that portray him as anything but "humble".
Bland but still somewhat unpleasant personality. The sort of person you can't find an obvious, tangible fault with - but you'd still rather not have a beer with the guy because he seems utterly boring (and you actually suspect he's a sociopath).
Ronaldo, by comparison, would be the sort of person you'd run away from straight away because he's obviously an asshole.
Not even remotely comparable. What Messi brilliantly did to Gvardiol there, Maradona did several times a game, every game.At this point he doesn't even need to win the World Cup to be the best ever. He's carried this team to the final more than Maradona did when they won it. Didn't need to cheat with a handball either.
