Messi won’t be better than Maradon- Mario Kempes

by Hafeestonova

Former Argentina player, Mario Kempes has opined that Argentina captain and superstar, Lionel Messi will never be able to better the late Argentina legend, Diego Maradona “even if he wins four World Cups in a row.”

Last weekend, Messi ended his lack of trophy with Argentina after claiming a long-awaited maiden Copa America triumph against Brazil.

Since Messi has won the Copa America, it leaves the World Cup as the lone major honour the 34-year-old is yet to collect, however, Kempes has claimed that, for all his achievements, he will always be in the shadow of Maradona.

He said “For Messi, the misfortune is that he was the replacement for Diego Maradona and it is very difficult to overshadow Diego, with the idolatry that he has received around the world. If Messi wants to be better than Maradona, he is not going to achieve it even if he wins four World Cups in a row. He still hasn’t won the World Cup. No matter how many [titles he] wins or what he wins, it can never be compared to what Diego did”
