of course Maradona was better. Same like Messi is better than Maradona and any other player who lived on this planet. Only guys who don't understand football will disagree with that. And saying that Pele scored thousand goals or Maradona won wc, Messi plays only for FC Barcelona says me that some of you don't understand football and know nothing about tactics, how times changed, how players are generally better nowadays than in the past, how much space players had on the field in the past etc etc etc.
