I will say that they are both good players, but that you really shouldn't and can't compare them. Maradona was peaking 20-25 years ago and played among other players. I don't think it is fair to compare players from to different decades.
Both are good players so there is no need to compare both of them but i have to select one of them then Maradonna is the best one
Messi and Maradona is the star of world football, which until now no one could match keahlianya in playing ball.
Mesi and Maradona is Argentina's best footballer held in a different time Maradona time ago while Mesi time now
Maradona is not a football player only, he was a poor boy from Argentina and a hero for his country mates and family. And we also know him as a political person and like a man who speaks what he thinks. So Messi is just a good guy who plays football wonderfully and his talent can't be higher Maradona's problems and scandals.
I M the Best lol ..... maradona is a legend and messi is a present so v can't compare but both r very gud players messi copy maradona movements but he's now a gud game maker n goal scorer... nd warner is rite "messi is just a good guy who plays football wonderfully"
