It's Maradona all day for me.
The game has changed dramatically over the last 10-15 years. Most of the great players in their pomp if plucked from their era would struggle in game played today. Maradona would still be the best player on the park.
He came through the ranks in Argentina and played in Europe at at time when (it could be argued) there was a more even playing field.
Don't get me wrong I think Messi is a truly great player but for me Maradona will always be the best ever.
