It is known that the fans of Argentina and Brazil are in a constant struggle in order to prove the advantage of Maradona or Pele, but did what Messi did at the Qatar World Cup make him surpass the duo.

Messi for most of his career used to be compared with the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, but with the decline of the player's career in search of a new club in January, coinciding with Leo's World Cup victory, the leader of the "Tango" moved on to another comparison with Maradona and Pele.

When Messi was going into the comparisons of football fans in his country about his advantage over Maradona, the response was always that the latter brought the World Cup to Argentina unlike Messi, but now Leo is tied with the champion of the 1986 World Cup.

Maradona won the World Cup title once in Mexico in 1986 after a great performance with the Argentina national team, and achieved great successes with the clubs where he played, primarily Napoli.

And it opens up even more room for discussion that if Messi surpassed Maradona for some in Argentina or all the fans are convinced of this, did the Argentine leader surpass The Legend of Brazil Pele..

Pele won the World Cup with Brazil 3 times, in 1958, 1962 and 1970.

He also entered the Guinness Book of records, as the most goalscoring player in history, after exceeding a thousand goals.

Surpassing Pele digitally and at World Cup tournaments seems impossible for Messi, but the influence that The Legend of Barcelona left in football gave him an important place in the history of the game.

For his part, Jorge porcaga, Maradona's former teammate, refused to compare the late star with Messi : Messi is no less or more than Maradona, they played through different generations, and each has a great place in the eternal memory of football".

In turn, the Associated Press documented Messi's story with football, considering that "now he, like Pele and Maradona, is on the list of the greatest".

And it remained to answer the question "Who is better?""It is not settled, as there is no definitive answer, but the report noted that Messi "at least surpassed his rival for the time being, Cristiano Ronaldo".

As for the current Barcelona coach and former teammate of Messi, Xavi Hernandez, "Messi is better than Maradona and Pele," he told the Spanish Sport website.

"I consider Messi to be the best in history without a doubt, he is better than Maradona, Pele, Cruyff and Di Stefano, he is the best of all time,"he added.

Messi played his 1003rd football match, in the World Cup final against France, and scored his 793rd goal.

Of these, 98 are international goals with the national team of Argentina.

Messi has won 36 trophies with Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, and his national team, but the World Cup remains his most expensive title ever.
