Diego Armando Maradona Jr. commented on the comparisons of the legendary footballer with PSG forward Lionel Messi after Argentina's match against Saudi Arabia at the 2022 World Cup.
My father and Messi are compared only by those who don't understand football. We're talking about two different planets, but I don't want to give up on Messi right away. I'm devastated by this defeat. It's hard to believe it really happened.
Diego Armando Maradona Jr., quoted by Marca
The Saudi national team scored a sensational volitional victory over Argentina (2-1) in the first round match of the group stage of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar on November 22.
Messi scored his national team's first goal. The Argentinian scored a goal for the team in his fourth World Cup and surpassed the achievement of Maradona, who managed to score in three World Cups.
