Argentina World Cup winner Mario Kempes has called for the constant comparisons between Barcelona star Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona to stop.
Kempes won the Golden Ball and the Golden Boot as the Albiceleste lifted football's top prize in 1978, but it is Maradona and Messi who are widely regarded as the country's best ever players.
Two decades have now passed since Maradona retired from the sport but it doesn't stop the constant debate in Argentina and beyond about whether he was better than Messi or not.
"Maradona is Maradona, that's indisputable, but he doesn't play anymore," Kempes said in an interview with El Universo.
