Diego Maradona on Lionel Messi

“I have seen the player who will inherit my place in Argentine football and his name is Messi. Messi is a genius and he can become an even better player. His potential is limitless and I think he’s got everything it takes to become Argentina’s greatest player.”

“The ball stays glued to his foot; I’ve seen great players in my career, but I’ve never seen anyone with Messi's ball control.”
