Former Argentina international Hector Enrique believes
Lionel Messi will never be on Diego Maradona's level.
Messi and Maradona are often compared, with the Barcelona
forward having won an unprecedented four Ballon d'Or awards.
Maradona scored 34 goals for Argentina and has been
overtaken by Messi (37), but the former won a FIFA World Cup in 1986.
Enrique, who represented Argentina 11 times, believes
Messi is a long way behind Maradona.
"Messi does not have anything on Maradona. I love
Messi and I would be happy if my son would play at one per cent of his
abilities, but Maradona was unique," he told Continental.
"There will never be anyone like Maradona again, not
even if Messi wins three World Cups in succession or scores a bicycle kick from
midfield.
"Maradona and Messi have different characters on the
pitch. Diego radiated confidence and made all of us play better. Messi has
personality as well, but not like Maradona."
