Leeds United Chat • Re: Lionel Messi-Goated

On the Messi v Mardonna discussion, Messi has had a much longer more successful career.

But I always look back at that goal Maradona scored against England - the good one. It's a moment where Maradona took the ball and just said "I'm winning this game and nobody is stopping me." Messi didn't have that moment. He had a lot of good moments throughout this world cup, the highlight being the 3rd goal he set up against Croatia. But nothing compares that one Maradona moment. For me, that Maradona goal sets him above Messi.

I can't compare others like Pele or Cruyff because they're before my time.
