German legend Karl Heinz has come up with a strong answer to the question of whether Diego Maradona or Lionel Messi is better among Argentine legends.
Haynes said Messi was competing with the support of referees and the rules, but Maradona had rivals around him. He said this while talking to Corriere dello Sport.
“If asked who is better, Messi or Maradona, I will choose Maradona. Because Maradona is often beaten by opponents. But Messi always has the support of the referees and the rules.
It is true that Messi won the World Cup. Talented players have proven themselves at the World Cup, like French star Kylian Mbappe. But Lewandowski is the best player in the world.
In my opinion, Lewandowski is better than Messi or Ronaldo,’ said Haynes.
On another occasion, Haynes made corrections to a comment he made about Messi. He told Mundo Deportiva that he has respect for Messi and that Messi has skills that no one else in the world has.
Haynes also said that Messi has the skills to win the match without anyone else’s help.
However, this is not the first time Heinz has mentioned that Messi is not a great player. When Messi plays for Barcelona in 2021, he said that the then Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski is better than Messi.
