Maradona

The father of Brighton & Hove Albion star Alexis Mac Allister explained what key element elevates Lionel Messi over Diego Maradona.

“When you don’t have youngsters who are encouraged, it’s a problem because Messi is a monster: he’s been the best player in the world for 15 years. Nonetheless, there’s plenty of debate ongoing if Messi, with or without a World Cup, is at the same level as Maradona. Maradona at 35 was already a former player.
