Lionel Messi has it tougher with Argentina than Diego Maradona did, says Claudio Caniggia ahead of the Barcelona superstar’s next shot at World Cup glory.
Despite collecting an enviable haul of major honours at club level, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner is still waiting on a first senior international trophy with his country.
Messi has come close in World Cup and Copa America competition, but has endured heartache in each of his final outings to date.
As a result, he is yet to emulate the achievements of iconic countryman Maradona – who inspired Argentina to global glory in 1986 – and truly cement a standing as the greatest of all time.
