Messi overtaking Maradona: Maldini
Rome: Italian football legend Paolo Maldini on Tuesday said Lionel Messi is slowly overtaking Argentine icon and countryman Diego Maradona in terms of success he has had over the last few years.
“Leo Messi is the best player in the world. From what I’m seeing, he’s approaching the point where he is perhaps overtaking Maradona in terms of everything he’s achieved in recent years,” former A.C. Milan star Maldini was quoted as saying by goal.com.
In Luis Enrique’s first season in charge of Barcelona, the Catalan club clinched the treble which consists of the La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the European Chamipons League.
Former Italy captain Maldini, considered as one of the best defender to have played the game, has also predicted that Messi and his current Barcelona teammates are destined to “break all the records”.
“Messi, Neymar and Suarez are phenomenal and the statistics speak for themselves,” the 47-year-old, who quit professional football in 2009 after playing 902 matches for Milan, said.
“Barcelona have already made history and the team’s destined to break all the records,” Maldini, who played 126 matches for Italy, added.”

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
