    To Zola's point, it just wasn't Maradona: The entire league was HUGE back then. The quality of players in Serie A from 1983 through 2008 was astounding. The competition was beyond top level. We'll never see it again.

    Napoli were so fortunate that maradona picked them to play for, when he could of played for anyone
    He wanted a team that loved him, and that reminded him of his homeland, and he got it at napoli, and without maradona no one would ever of heard of napoli as a team.
    Seria A was big back then, as maradona went there and everyone wanted to go there with him
    The strength of italian teams back then was amazing

    Defensive players need some recognition when it comes to best ever....for me it would have to be Maldini or Beckenbauer. Mentions going out to Baresi and Rio as well.

      ​@@brentinnes5151 the number 10 position is the most "spectacular" but not necessarily the best. A team can play without a number 10, but they can't play without a defense.

    He’s right ….a lot of people seem to forget easily.
    It’s Messi this or Messi that ….but let me tell you this
    Messi wouldn’t do what Diego…..go to a small team and make them Champions against the mighty & Corrupt teams from the north in the Best competition in the world.
    Also the conditions….Messi never played on a bad pitch his whole life…..Messi never played on a poor constructed team….Messi never played with Bad & average players
    Pls stop the BS ….just let this sink in and be honest with yourself
    It’s Diego by a landslide

    For people that do not understand, if you combined zidane and messi, you got maradona
    Zidane had something messi did not have
    Messi had something zidane did not have
    But maradona had what both these players had, as if they were combined into one, you got maradona
    People today have no idea how much teams just feared maradona back then, if you want to know. See brazil argentina goal from 1990 world cup, when maradona got the ball, all the brazil players ran towards maradona trying to stop him, he ran forward and passed to canniga to put the ball into the net to beat brazil.
    All down to brazils fear of maradona, the only player brazil has ever feared playing, even with all the voodoo druggies in brazil.
    If your team had 10 decent players, plus maradona, you had a chance to win, and thats what argentina did in 1986 where maradona was practically only player ever to win world cup by himself. It was maradona and 10 other players against all other teams, and although they tried, no one could stop him.

      No Andy ... El equipo argentino de 1986, fue un EQUIPAZO : el arquero Pumpido ( Argentina ) NUNCA TUVO un mano a mano con un delantero contrario ... Todos los partidos fueron liquidados en 90', no hubo penales y tampoco expulsados ...
      Ocurre que, en ese equipo, estaba Diego " a pleno rendimiento " ... Y ocurrió lo que debía ocurrir ...
      En cuanto al mundial '90, Diego jugo los últimos 4 partidos, con su tobillo " a la miseria " ...
