Messi reacts to the king's death:

" A sad day for all Argentinians and for the football. He left us, but he won't go away because Diego is eternal."

Oh Mama Mama Mama.. He visto a Maradona.

Maradona's story is more appealing than others like Messi & Pele. He stands out as a cultural icon.

I don't understand why Maradona or Pele are dubbed as best player ever.
What I see from them were impressive for their Era. But at that time the level was lower than today. In comparison with now messi, cr7 and others do things that are much impressive

^ sorry bro but give it a break. He is by far one of the best players who ever lived and you doubt it?? C'mon. The players of today are all copying legends like him without any questions. Football is not politics you like one and hate the other, it's for magicians and not politicians. Legends like him will live for ever.

مارادونا فقط بخاطر مهارت در فوتبال مورد توجه نبود هر چند که بیشک از این نظر برترین بود اون بیشتر ازین لحاظ که فردیت رو*و شخصییت بی نظیری داشت و entertaining بود

100% wrong. They played (and won) during a time when players won games, not coaches.

Give the heavy ball of the 70ies and 80ies that Pele and Maradona were playing with, making long passes precisely on the feet of a running player, to todays footballers and they will injure themselves.
The game is faster today because the ball is lighter and pitches smoother. The game was slower back then because the ball was heavier. Different era, different players. What Pele and Maradona did in their era was nothing short of magic and its thanks to them football has evolved of becoming what it is today.
Both PELE and MARADONA are what football is all about, without them we wouldn’t have what we have today

But, whatever you believe, out of respect for the man, for whom a whole country declared three days national mournings, please lets not spoil this thread with these type of debate.
Thanks
