The statements of Jorge Valdano
“It would be a good idea (to stop comparing them), but Messi doesn’t help. The other day in ten seconds made a work of art which is perfectly comparable to the work of art that he made Diego versus England“, said.
And like the voice of a prophet, Leo had a magical night against the Gauls, where he scored two goals and was effective in the penalty shootoutwhich greatly helped the Albiceleste to embroider the third star on their shield.
And as if it were a decal, Messi was lifted on shoulders while carrying the World Cup, which generated pleasant memories among soccer fans, since on the field of the Azteca Stadium Maradona lived the same.
