Messi Is Better Than Pele And Maradona - Pope Francis by ElrayKhalifah(m): 9:43pm On Aug 03, 2016 |
Messi is better than Pele and Maradona, says Pope Francis The leader of the Catholic Church, who is also a San Lorenzo supporter, believes that the Barcelona superstar is the finest footballer in the history of the game Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi has been proclaimed the best ever footballer by Pope Francis! Barcelona and Argentina's all-time leading goalscorer, Messi, has constantly been compared to past greats Pele and Diego Maradona, while also going head-to-head with current Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo. But Pope Francis – the leader of the Catholic Church and a renowned San Lorenzo supporter – threw his support behind countryman Messi. "For me, [Lionel] Messi is better than Maradona and Pele," Pope Francis was quoted as telling young men and women participating in World Youth Day. Messi endured a difficult Copa America Centenario, stunning the world when he announced his retirement from national team duty after Argentina lost to Chile on penalties in the final. The 29-year-old, though, finally returned to the pitch as Barcelona kicked off their La Liga preparations with a 3-1 win over Celtic in the International Champions Cup on Saturday.
