Messi is the best player ever. I couldn't agree more with Grondona. Grondona saw both players playing in their day and he picked Messi as the better player. No surprises here.

Sorry but can't agree with him at all...
Maradonna single HANDed-ly led an average Argentina team to a WC triumph.
He also won a Serie A title with an unfancied team (Their only title)
And with Barca,they didn't have a great team like the current one but he still one loads of title with them...
Bottom Line : Both are legends but Messi can't be considered better than Maradonna (For a lot of people) unless he wins A World Cup

- No player can single-handedly win a tournament.
- In 1986, Maradona had a good defence to complement him
- Napoli was in their golden era and Maradona was their star player, that doesn't mean anything.
- I don't remember Barca winning anything notable when Maradona was there for ONE season.
- Even if Messi won the 2010 World Cup, people would still not hold him in as high esteem as Maradona. You know that, I know that. There's much more haters now then there was back then.

True but Maradonna is also hated by many (Most of them are English)
