I think you noticed that Maradona played in an era that was criminally physical. I'm no joking. There were players who were literally goons paid to break the legs of the best player of the other team. Referees would need to see almost an attempted murder before giving someone a yellow card. And I'm not exaggerating much. In one world cup the German goal keeper almost killed a French attacker just outside of the penalty area and he never got a yellow card! So hat's off to the stars that still collected great stats from that era!

Absolutely true! I remember that game (World Cup 1982 France vs West Germany semifinal) and the assault on the French player by the German keeper, Schumacher. Maradona was fouled in that 1982 World Cup so many times (in a 2nd round game vs Italy his shirt got literally ripped off his body, with no consequences) that he essentially couldn't play. Crazy times in football then, when indirect free kicks INSIDE the penalty box were still a thing (see Maradona's free kick @ 19:40) Wild!!!

From a Prodigy from the Slums of Argentina to the Greatest of all Time. RIP MAESTRO WE MISS YOU.

Maradona is the GOD of football and always remain as The KING.

Maradona es el mejor de la historia!!

There will never be a Diego Maradona. No one can compare to him. Great reaction Matt.

Diego Armando Maradona velocità di pensiero forza precisione dribbling era completo a noi Napoletani ci ha dato il mondo lo ameremo per l'eternità gloria a te Diego ovunque tu sia per noi sarai sempre D10OS.

Diego had defenders actually trying to injure him as it was the only way they could stop hi, one succeeded by breaking his ankle when he was at Barcelona

From poverty, dangerous neighborhoods, hunger, Maradona was forged in adversity, that made him grow and be who he was. Maradona's level in the 1986 World Cup is the highest level of a player in history. Pelé scored more goals and won world championships alongside giant stars, in fact he did not play all the games. Messi has broken all records, but nobody reached the level of a god, only Maradona.

I really do switch again and again between Maradona and Garrincha as the best ever and then say we never acctually saw the best of George Best, he retired before his peak. However Garrincha and Maradona are the only two players to have carried a team to World cup victory. For me I always lean to Garrincha because of his birth defects, he would never pass a medical today, he walking in pain yet dribbled better than anyone has ever before or since............its a tough one and todays gods I don't think there are in the same league as the three I have just metioned.

Grande Diego

Diego maradona there best ever.......

People who tell me that Messi and Ronaldinho were better dribblers make me laugh. Messi is a more efficient player. Ronaldinho was more fun to watch. But no one to this day was so good as Maradona at dribbling while progressing up the pitch. There isn't a lot of footage available to make those videos. But believe me when i say that Maradona would produce magical plays half a dozen times A GAME. If he had the protection superstars have today only God knows what we would have witnessed. Sadly he suffered near murder attempts every game as this style of play was unstoppable and really never seen before. Maradona set the stage for what the nº10 prototypical super player should be the same way Michael Jackson defined what a modern Pop Star was. This kind of people will never be erased. Players like Messi only built on what real innovators like Maradona have created.

Messi jugó en el Barcelona en un equipo que se podía permitir el lujo de Ronaldinho, Xavi, Iniesta. Messi no hizo ganar a ningún equipo en la mejor liga del mundo. Messi es sólo un producto moderno en un fútbol estandarizado, formado por gente que no sabe ni defender ni hacer un centro decente, hecho por periodistas que dan el Balón de Oro a quienes les hacen vender más periódicos.

​@@JoaquinRoque.938If Messi won 20 Ballon D'or he would still not be 50% as good as Maradona was. Messi is just a club level footballer who needs top players with him to win club trophies. Maradona single-handedly won 2 world cups with very poor sides and made the worst teams into champions all his career. Messi could never do that and nobody else could do that either. Messi playing in Maradona's era wouldn't last 2 years and would be lucky to get 50 goals. Maradona playing today in top sides as a striker could easily score 3000 goals. Remember Maradona won the world cups for his team, and the teammates won the world cups for Pele and Messi. That's the difference. Maradona is the God of football and no one comes close to how good he was "He who did not know God will worship any Saint"

Totally agree, theres "trivella" it's it's not the same as he did there, cause it's a wayy more compact movement with his leg but his feet it's doing the trick, bended and chipped a little bit, as a product of that the ball gain high and landed perfectly like it was crossed with the right foot

The true GOAT. 86 World Cup and what he did at Napoli, leading them to two league titles and a European trophy with a club that had previously won nothing and were close to relegation before he arrived. All this in an era where they were competing against AC Milan which was the best team on the planet at that time. They only won their third ever league title and first since he left last season. His time there was without question the most successful period in the clubs history. He also played in an era where attacking players weren’t given the protection they are now hence, why you see him having avoid so many dangerous tackles where defenders would go for him rather than the ball. You’d get an automatic red card for most of them now.

Finally a you tuber who appreciate greatness thank you

I know others have commented here. But Maradona's skill level is much higher than players today because most great players today are protected by the rules and by refs. hey, would sub in a player to take out your legs (Picture the Hockey Treatment). As a result, he developed the technique where he jumps over players as they tried to take him out. The refs wouldn't call it, so he just played through it.

GRACIAS POR EL VIDEO AMIGO. SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA

let me tell you why he is my GOAT on football (soccer) that he is different with anybody else. Did you know that the people in napoli (naples, italy) considered maradona almost their living God during in his prime (i think in the 1985-1990) even after his death. at that time, when he was drafted to play in SERIE A (italian cup) he went to a losing team that has no standing records and amongst the odds against of those strong teams (AC milan, Inter Milan, Juventus). and when he did, he brought that team to the top most outstanding clubs not only in their league, they even became champions in European cup (champions league), they became 2 consecutive champions in their league cup, super cup and of course, his infamous THE HAND OF GOD, that was never even had any players in football history ever did that impossible move yet he did proved it himself that he is not only the ever known as the hand of God but el rey de mundo (the best of entire world). respect! RIP!

React Maradona live is Life. Training

Messi can do some things Maradona did already in his time period but Maradona could do things Messi is simply not capeable of to do. I´m 54 years old I saw Maradona live and also Messi obviously...and Messi doesn´t have the capabilties Maradona had..not even close...that´s why Maradona has actually "football-god status" in Argentina (and in the football world of actual contemperary eye-witnesses) while Messi just has "football celebrity status". Beside that would had Messi played back then he would be most of the time in injury recovery and just would had barly played because back them the fouls were often extremely brutal and what today is a clear yellow card was literally nothing when if even considered as foul.

Roberto Carlos

I debate weather I put Maradona as the GOAT he is definately in my top 4, Messy and Ronaldon don't make that top 4 Messi maybe number 5. It is simply down to the conditions players used to play in, without the over protection and perfect pitches of today, I think it would be easier for yesterdays stars to adjust to todays game than it is for todays stars to adjust to an earlier period. My Tope 4 not in any order Best< Garrincha, Pele and Maradona............this playes got kicked all over muddy and rutted pitches and still excelled.

I grew up across the era of Pelé, Best, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Zico, Platini, Maradona. All great players. Pelé was without doubt, the best of the lot for me. The most complete in attributes. He took shorter dribble runs than Maradona & scored far more from them than Diego. That's greater efficency. Maradona's did multiple, long dribble, carry runs. But how many of them resulted in anything? Nice to watch on a youtube comp though, from an aesthetic perspective.

I watched the beginning of your video Maradona has much better plays those are his easiest plays. His dribbling is around 10 players and his kicks are art

Cuando veo jugar a Maradona veo lo superior que era de los demás futbolistas.

One name: Davide Morcadelli.. react to that

One in 100 years. He is Footballgod. For ever. And im German, No Beckenbauer or or a Eusebio can do It Like He did. There is only one for ever. Ha,ho, He HBSC. Und wir natürlich

For me messi is not on maradonnas level. Maradona could sit in any team and boss the game, messi relies on having other top quality players around him, the evidence of this is the international careers and club level. Maradona won the Italian league with napoli and world Cup with Argentina and in both cases they won because of him, he was a one man team who always performed. Messi won a lot at club level because he played in probably the best team ever at Barcelona and with Argentina he has achieved very little.

People tend to rate Maradona & Messi extremely highly, because of their dribble skills & overlook their flaws. ( one footed, no heading & tackling prowess, etc). Even the young lad here, noticed that when Mardona went down the right flank. He still stayed on the left foot to cross the ball. Di Stéfano, Pelé, Charlton, Best, Cruyff, would never do that, as they had world class accuracy with *_both_* feet . I would rank Di Stéfano, Pelé, Best, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, higher. Because they were more complete players. They could dribble, pass, head, tackle, score goals, world class accuracy with both feet, etc.
