Diego (Maradona) has filled us with emotions. But between the cracks, without doubt, Messi is better than Maradona.

Diego Simeone

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.

John Terry

Maradona and Messi played in different times and in different positions. Messi is much more a striker, Diego was all over the entire pitch. They are two extraordinary players.

Diego Simeone

I was a big fan of Maradona growing up and of the current crop Ronaldo is good but Messi is the best I’ve ever seen. I don’t dish out praise lightly but Messi deserves it. I look for weaknesses in his game and I can’t find them.

Roy Keane

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.

Thiago Alcantara

Every time he plays, Leo Messi reminds me more of Maradona, both left-footed and short, Messi is the best player in the world, along with Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo. For us it is not a surprise. Since he began to come and train with us and we knew we would go down this path. Someday I will explain that I was at the birth of one of the footballing greats: Leo Messi.

Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva

Messi is top but Maradona is another world.

Fabio Cannavaro

Messi is the best that's played the game. Streets ahead of Maradona.

Joey Barton

I am not Lionel Messi, I'm not Maradona, I'm just Dries and I'm happy with that.

Dries Mertens

I played against Maradona and he was a great player like Messi too.

Marco van Basten

Messi is the best player ever. And this is said by someone who has seen Maradona and Pele play.

Adriano Galliani

Maradona has done a lot for his clubs, as Messi does, and for the Argentina national team.

Zico

Messi has all the conditions to be the best, but first he has to beat Maradona, Romario and then eventually Pele.

Michel Patini

What's the problem that people have here in Spain with Maradona and Messi? They spend the whole day comparing them.

Mario Kempes

Maradona has been the best player in history and for me, Messi is even greater than he is.

Pedro

All of us know that Messi cannot win alone, except for the fanatics or the mental patients who put in doubt Messi's talents, saying that he is a bottler, that he feels nothing for Argentina, that he doesn't sing the anthem, that he goes to the bathroom 50 times before a game. Those are things that are said to make an impression.

Mario Kempes
