A Quote by Mario Kempes
Maradona is Maradona, that's indisputable, but he doesn't play anymore. He stopped playing a long time ago.

Diego (Maradona) has filled us with emotions. But between the cracks, without doubt, Messi is better than Maradona.
I find it embarrassing when people compare me to Maradona. How can they? There is only one Maradona. People who say this just have no idea, they don't know what they are talking about. Diego was a complete one-off who will never have an equal on the football pitch. No-one, I repeat no-one, could have transformed teams like he did. Maradona was the world's greatest-ever player while I'm just an apprentice.
Maradona doesn't play soccer anymore, he coaches it. He needs to remember that.
He has been named as the heir apparent of the great Argentine hero, Diego Maradona, by journalists, players, and Maradona himself, alike. I'd personally put him in a drawer of my bedside table.
I was certainly no Maradona. I was a very fast player. When I saw a space, I used it. When I went past somebody, he didn't catch up with me again. I was a player who came with a run-up. What Maradona could see in a small space, I saw over long distances.
I have played against (Michel) Platini, (Diego) Maradona, (Johan) Cruyff and played with George Best — a lot of big names, but none of them has been able to do what Messi does. Two years ago I said that the best player I played against was Maradona and the best player I have played with was Bestie. But I can now say I have never seen a player as good as Messi. He’s in a league of his own.
Many years ago when I first started my career Maradona told me "to enjoy and play as you know", and that's stayed with me ever since and is the best advice I've been given.
One of my favourite sportsmen was Diego Maradona and every time I saw him play football you could see the passion in the heart.
Messi. 86 goals in calendar year and still 3 games to play! Best to ever play the game in my opinion just edges Maradona.
Messi is the best player ever. And this is said by someone who has seen Maradona and Pele play.
I was lucky enough to play against Maradona. He and Ronaldo, when he was at Inter Milan - they were my toughest opponents.
I see Maradona every time he grabs the ball and accelerates.
If I played again it would be like Maradona or Platini playing again!
The memories obviously of playing with Maradona are fantastic memories, he's probably the most important part of my career.
I stopped asking a long time ago, "why would you want me to play that?" I'm an actor. That's what I do.
There are people you can say you have seen play, such as Pele or Maradona. But Messi is unique, out on his own, and is going to make history. I can say I saw Messi play.
