Most importantly, if you ignore a couple of tax evasion issues he seems like an all-right guy.
Maradona was a drug addict and wife beater who fathered a dozen unrecognised children and was a horrible person overall. He became a national embarrassment for Argentina ever since he was kicked out of the world cup for doping.
In contrast, Messi's positive legacy will hopefully endure for longer.
- joachim4 6y agoMaradona was always see as the star of the teams where he played, even when he was young. Plus he came from a poblacion, those ghettos in Argentina where people live with next to nothing. Messi on the other side came from a middle class family, and had his dream of being a professional player broke as a young kid by Newells due to his height problems. The two has different histories, and should not be compared I think., except on the football side.
