Becky Anderson: one word answer – Messi or Ronaldo?
 
Diego Maradona: Hmmm… Messi.
 
Anderson: Messi inherited your shirt – what makes a great player? Is it style or is it goals?
 
Maradona: I think the goals come with the style.  I think Messi is finding his own style. But he is killing it with his goals! This makes you accelerate the pace – most likely he will find it very soon. I think that I had my own style from the very beginning. And that is the point in which I could be better than Messi. But Messi has scored 300 goals.  Me I think I scored 200, more in my whole career. But the thing is my goals were more beautiful.
