Lionel Messi vs Diego Maradona: Sir Alex Ferguson explains why current Barcelona and Argentina superstar is better
When the greatest footballer debate is raised, Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona are invariably mentioned.Messi is widely considered the best player of all time and has been locked in a decade-long battle with Cristiano Ronaldo for that accolade.3

Messi and Maradona are Argentina’s greatest ever players

Maradona’s claims to that lofty title are his 1986 World Cup exploits, when Argentina became world champions – a major trophy that has eluded the Barcelona superstar.Legendary former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Fergusonis well placed to judge given he is considered one of the best managers of all time and his thoughts on the matter came to light during a throwaway comment during a recent interview. Speaking to Sunday Times journalist Jonathan Northcroft, Fergie was discussing journalist and friend Hugh McIlvanney, who recently passed away.Ferguson was explaining McIlvanney was immovable in his opinions, with Northcroft telling the manager about an incidentwhere compatriots McIlvanney and Graeme Souness, the former Liverpool and Scotland captain, were having a heated exchange on the Messi vs Maradona debate.Souness thought Messi is better, which McIlvanney strongly disagreed with.3

Argentina fans idolise both Messi and Maradona

An exasperated Souness had to finally beseech: Look, I played against Maradona five times and Im telling you Messi,” he wrote. “Hugh growled back: I dont care who you played against. Its Diego.”Ferguson, who won 38 trophies in his 26 years with United sided with Souness when told about his friend’s view.3

Sir Alex Ferguson has had his say on the debate

“Maradonas career at the very top was only a few years.“But I can imagine Hughs response. You dont ******* know what youre talking about! While blowing a big puff of smoke in your face, lighting another stogie and speaking with that wonderful, rasping voice.”
