Between Maradona And Messi's Famous Solo Goals, Which Is Better? by ogbiwa: 8:12am On Dec 02, 2020
Hi guys,

I was rewatching some clips of Maradona's famous football performances and let me say first of all, that guy was born with a football at his feet. What a genius.

The balance, pace, power, vision, trickery, the things he does with the ball are sometimes jaw dropping. Like "you de watch am, e de go". No wonder one of our "guys" was nicknamed after him in dribbling (if you know you know)
But truly one of the undisputed goats.

But then I saw again his mesmerizing solo goal against England at the 1986 world cup quarter final, a goal which won the goal of the century. Brilliant goal. He sold half of the England team plus their goalkeeper for only sixpence.

But I noticed a lot of similarities between that goal and Messi's equally brilliant solo run and strike against Getafe. But I wonder how that goal doesn't get as much accolades as Maradona's goal because they're so similar. Perhaps because Maradona's goal was scored at a bigger stage maybe. Pls I'm neither a Messi nor Ronaldo fan. I'm just comparing two goals that are similar.

So my question is simple. Which goal do you think is better?

Maradona vs England

Or

Messi vs Getafe

I've included a video link to both goals for those who have not seen them or perhaps want to see them again.

Messi's goal is the best.

They're both brilliant goals but sincerely I enjoyed watching Messi's own better than Maradona's own grin
I'm also not a Messi or Ronaldo fan

Maradona, because it was at a world cup and against much more difficult English team with Terry Butcher in defence.

Thank you Diego for the memories.

are they even comparable? Messi's name would just go with this generation and argentina would not immortalize him if he doesn't win the world cup.
