Former Argentine player, Hector Enrique, thinks Lionel Messi should not be on the same quality description as Maradona.
Maradona's 34 international goals has been overtaken by Messi's 37 goals,and the Barcelona player has won the Ballon d'Or a record four times while Maradona has won the World Cup in 1986.
Speaking with Continental in a interview, Enrique who was capped 11 times for Argentina said, "Messi does not have anything on Maradona. I love Messi and I would be happy if my son would play at one per cent of his abilities, but Maradona was unique.
"There will never be anyone like Maradona again, not even if Messi wins three World Cups in succession or scores a bicycle kick from midfield.
"Maradona and Messi have different characters on the pitch. Diego radiated confidence and made all of us play better. Messi has personality as well, but not like Maradona."
