You underestimate the effectiveness of bunker/counter tactics + world class striker.
There were games where it took us 60+ mins to score 1 goal against San Marino. If they had someone to punish us, it'd be a very different result.
Maradona was something else, winning trophies with Napoli a relegation level club prior to them signing Maradona back when Serie A was the by far the best league, I doubt will ever be repeated. To say Messi has surpassed him just because the later was blessed to come up at Barca at a time when they had generational talent is an insult to football history. The core of that Barca team without Messi won back-to-back Euros and a world cup with Spain!
Messi literally wipes the floor with him in any career achievement or measurement. Apart from goals while on cocaine. People denying this obvious fact are hilarious.Redijupison wrote: ↑Sun Dec 18, 2022 1:04 amMaradona was something else, winning trophies with Napoli a relegation level club prior to them signing Maradona back when Serie A was the by far the best league, I doubt will ever be repeated.

People seem to forget that Messi retired once from international football because of all the criticism he was getting for not performing at the same level for the NT as he did for Barca.
