Barcelona defender, Gerard Pique has come out to say that Lionel Messi’s consistency makes him a better player than Diego Maradona.
Pique believes Maradona is also a historic player but he prefers Messi because he keep doing it continuously.
According to him, Lionel has been standing out for 15 years and that sets him apart from the rest.
He added that it is currently scarce to find players that display the same kind of consistency in today’s game.
His words, “Maradona was a unique player in the history of football, he went through Barca and Napoli, he will be remembered forever,”
“But if you ask me to choose between Leo or Diego, I would say Messi because of his consistency and the magic he produces on a daily basis.”
Barca coach added, “Messi is a great football player, he has been standing out for 15 years in every single game, that makes him different from the rest,”
“We have not seen a player with such consistency. I also enjoyed Maradona, Cruyff and other football players who made us love this sport.”
On the UCL, Pique said, “The result of tomorrow’s game will somehow influence the Clasico,”
“If we want peace of mind, we have to win and keep winning and play well.”
“We will never forget Roma and Liverpool, but from the big defeats you can get positive things and look to the future, with that experience we will know how to face everything that comes, things we have learned.
“We fear many things about Napoli, they have improved in recent weeks, they have very good players like [Dries] Mertens and [Lorenzo] Insigne. They will cause us trouble if we don’t go out with the right mindset.”
