Messi recently led Argentina to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar last December, while Maradona led Argentina to win the 1986 World Cup.

For years, the Messi versus Maradona debate had a clear winner in Argentina, but now, following the former Barcelona captain’s heroics, the scenery has seemingly shifted.

Speaking on Cope’s “El Partidazo” program, Scaloni was asked to pick between Messi and Maradona.

Messi has appeared in 44 games under Scaloni, scoring 32 goals.
