Will Lionel Messi ever fill Maradona's shoes?

Those are some pretty hard shoes to fill from a guy that almost single handedly won a world cup.In Last week's game when Barcelona played Real Madrid Lionel Messi dissapeared the whole game. And that's a game you supposed to show up to considering how talented Lionel Messi is.That was a biggest gameof the season and he didn't show up.Maradona always showed up and made a big impact in big games that's why alot of people say including me sayd that Messi will never be better than Maradona.Maradona took over big games Messi didn't show up that game or in the World Cup Final against Germany.Do Y'all think Lionel Messi will ever fill Maradona's shoes?

    On Most levels Messi has surpassed Maradona; however Messi will never win the World cup so he will be Maradona's lesser equal.

    Argentina was the oldest team in the 2014 world cup and have to replace 5 or 6 starters by 2018.

    Mostly likely not due to the fact that Messi didn't win a World Cup for Argentina which Maradona did

    Yes, already surpassed him in many minds! It will be interesting to se how history treats the competition between Messi and CR in a decade we will all be proud to,say that we saw two of the greatest go head to head.

    each of them has appropriated an era; each era has its factors;its universe and its level of life...football had changed since Maradona played and since messi played...similaire point :both are argentinians; super stars ; played for barcélona;share the same mission into the squad;being chosen first 1 world footballer for many times; opposit points:maradona looked nervous but messi seems quite calm; Maradona hadn't won best titles with barcélona ;he did at napoli; but messi has more success than diégo in barcélona; Maradona had lots of problèms with journalists ;police;and medias...but messi is in shadow in spite being activated all time...Maradona had won the world cup but messi still hunting for it. for football;both are good players ;until being best of the world...both are good driblers ;fast while dodging with ball over opponents;both are useful for their teamates because they are such poisoning for the others...their goals were determinated for plenty matches ...
