Diego Armando Maradona compared Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo with Argentine star Lionel Messi. Legendary Maradona thinks Ronaldo never can reach the same level as Barca star Lionel Messi and he slammed Ronaldo, hard..
Argentina / NationalTurk – El Diego, the Argentine legend still carries -the best footballer ever- brand and Maradona clearly thinks that his compatriot Lionel Messi is a football messiah and his successor at being the best. Maradona also adds this is bad nes for Ronaldo, who he thinks will stay as the second best footballer as long as Messi plays football.
Maradona praises Messi : ‘ Cristiano was born in the wrong era. He will always live under Messi’s shadow
Diego Maradona said Messi is in a class of his own, and believes firmly that second place is the best that Cristiano Ronaldo can hope to achieve in the coming years.
Maradona also keynotes the difference between Messi and Ronaldo’s personalities : Maradona openly slammed Ronaldo by stating : Messi scores a goal and celebrates. Cristiano Ronaldo scores a goal and poses like he’s in a shampoo commercial.
Both forwards are the clear favorites to win the FIFA Ballon d’Or 2012 after an impressive season at club level, yet Diego Armando Maradona feels Ronaldo is nowhere near his Argentine rival, Messi.
‘ Cristiano Ronaldo will never be at the same level as Messi. Lionel Messi doesn’t need Cristiano Ronaldo’s powerful shot. Messi just dribbles towards the goal into the net with the ball at his feet,’ Maradona stated to an Argentine tv channel.
Maradona continued slamming Ronaldo with Messi comparison :
However, the legendary Maradona had a different opinion during the European Championship, slamming Ronaldo: ‘ The world’s second best player, chasing Lionel Messi, seemed so frustrated and petulant when playing for Portugal. ‘
‘ When Ronaldo won the Ballon d’Or he told Messi ‘No more second places’. Now silver is the best he can achieve,’ emphasizing the level Messi has reached in 2012 and Messi’s current fitness and form suggests this new season will be another milestone year for Messi.
Meanwhile, the 1986 World Cup winner legend is not shy at all to mention that he is flattered to see people comparing him with Lionel Messi.
‘ I don’t really like comparisons. Nevertheless, the comparison with Lionel is a beautiful thing. We are both left-footed, Argentine, and brilliant.’ an jubiliant Maradona says.
Lionel Messi scored an impressive 73 goals in all competitions for Barcelona in 2011-12 season which is a record hard to be broken.
Meanwhile NationalTurk posted an interesting article about Maradona’s two brothers, who are both former footballers and both are currently even more popular than their big brother El Diego in Argentina. The interesting story also includes a video of Lola Maradona, the youngest Maradona brother.
Lola Maradona mocks his non-existent football talent and himself in this hillarious tv ad video.
On other Maradona news the Argentine football legend Diego Maradona recently cut loose as manager by Dubai’s Al Wasl. His sacking brought along speculations that Maradona will get to helm at his former club Boca Juniors.
Maradona as Boca Juniors manager ? Maradona says Boca is fine with current manager
However Maradona personally said he is not needed at Boca at the moment. But he had a few negative words for Boca star Juan Roman Riquelme who recently left the Argentine club.
Maradona backed up current Boca coach Julio Cesar Falcioni at a time when Falcioni had been questioned by Boca fans after the club blew the Argentine league title in the last two weeks of season and lost the Copa Libertadores final to Brazil’s Corinthians.

the day Messi plays for any other club than Barcelona, or league, then we can truly compare … guess we will never see that, as Messi’s too confortable!!!
Ronaldo’s been in other clubs and leagues and was at the top all the way … makes him yes the #1 player
so who dares to compare?!!!
maradona does no what to say,football is not all about drible which ronaldo can do.cristiano ronaldo then is more of a complete player than messi cus fotball is all about drible
Maradona!
its your thinking keep your thinking with your self no need for your openion also Messi has beat you too. but for us the best palyer forever will be CR7.
Yes Ronaldo( the guy who won 1 Best player of the yr award) is better than messi (the guy who won 3 best player of the year awards) ALL you CR7 cocksuckers need to wake up u in-denial motherfuckers.
Poor Ronaldo he will have to wait very long time until messi retire from football so then can Ronaldo can get ballon again .. .. Ronaldo only held la liga 2011-2012 but messi took this year. Cops del rey ,club worl cup, Spanish super cup and European super cup despite scoring 5 goals in one game against leverkusen in champions league . Score 50 la liga and 73 in all completions .and aim not talking about the rest of his goals with the national team especially scoring a hat trick against Switzerland and a hat trick against brazil Now can someone tell me what Ronaldo did last season to even be close to the master messi . Please only stats.. No bulshit none-sense talk … Ronaldo fans say he is better but when it comes to what he did they just shut up..
i will laugh at this fool maradona when cr7 wins ballon d or , this just proves how stupid drugs have made maradona . cr7 best player in the world and in my opinion way better than messi
Maradona , Leonel is a true football legend , no 2 ways about it , he jointed a team of stars already on the move , people such as Puyol , pique , dani alves , but most important busqet , inesta and xavi.
When Cristiano jointed Real M , they were starting the team.
Ronaldo has nothing to prove to any one , in England he was the best ever , now in Spain and previously in Portugal , give credit to both of them , they are fenominal players that we are lucky to be able to appreciate.
Now what concerns you , you know that you are a loser , yes , you were a great player , but , nothing like Pele , nothing , besides , Pele is a gentleman and you are a bum , just a bum that can not live without drugs , that is why you get fired from where ever you go , you arte a disgrace to your country and to football.
You should keep your mouth shut because you are a nothing a loser and a disgrace.
Maradona , he will never reach the stadom of Pele.
He is a loser getting fired from where he goes , just a jumky , ignorant wanna be.
maradona u fucking coke head!!
when euro 2012 was still on he said that ronaldo is the best in the world so what the fuck is he talking about now?stay off the coke dude its fucking ur head up dude!!!lol
The reason why Maradona say that is since they are both born at Argentina. If he was portuguese he would cheer for Ronaldo. Ronaldo is so better than Messi. Ronaldo is born in a good era. Messi is not. He will never be as good as Ronaldo.
maradona is a looser nd talks 2 much.
when somebody ask me about that maradona hand goal……..i say maradona..who….he is a cheater……..fucking bitch he is…..even in fifa 12 i created a player named maradona and then kicks him with tackles…….lolz…..he is a gay………player like zidane,figo,ronaldo…….never say these kind of things because they know what respect means,,,maradona dont have respect so he dont give///
Poor midget trying talk bout wat he want be he cant pose for a pic cuz all camara wud hv to reset hieght to capture him n he wud hv pose longer jeje so he cant, messi is sumthing to watch give credit now d picture is u cant compare messi to maradona, messi isnt fat not use drugs jeje but wen it come messi and ronaldo both are massive both to d way they play, d huge difference ronaldo hv evolved has change teams 3 time and al to and excelent messi wen goes at argentina sucks…. Messi is noting with xavi as a team on own he good but need suport while ronaldo cal he selfcentr how ever but he can stand alone anywhere,
maradona is a fuck…even he doesnt have ronaldo’s legendary long shots….messi playing for only club but cristiano has surrvived both in bpl and la liga…if messi is the best then he have to proove in other countries….now he can pay triple the amount barcelona paid for him,,,so he should move away by giving that and proove himself best,,,,i think maradona is suffering from a brain disposal…he has lost his mind totally thats y he dumbed as a cocah every where he goes……fuck u maradona……..and messi too
