The Argentina legend's stance remains the same regarding
the two players, even though the Portuguese has come out on top in their recent
encounters
Diego Maradona says Lionel Messi remains the best
footballer in the world, despite Barcelona losing to Real Madrid twice last
week.
Ronaldo scored twice in los Blancos' 3-1 success over the
Blaugrana on February 12, and though Messi fired home an equaliser at the
Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, the Portuguese's emergence from the bench
ensured a 2-1 victory.
"Messi cannot save every game for Barcelona,"
the former Al Wasl trainer told Marca.
"Ronaldo is a wonderful player. He is in a fantastic
shape, but Messi is still better, even after the defeat of his club. "
The 52-year-old also revealed that he misses mentoring
the Argentina star since he lost his position as Albiceleste coach following
their World Cup 2010 exit.
He added: "I love Messi, I would like to be his
coach some day."
Barcelona currently top the Liga table with an 13-point
advantage over Madrid in third place.
