Lionel Messi isn't Argentina's greatest player, according to former AC Milan and Italy manager Arrigo Sacchi. Instead, Sacchi gave the nod to Alfredo Di Stefano and Diego Maradona, believing Messi lacks both the talent and the personality of the illustrious and controversial latter.
Sacchi deemed Maradona "unstoppable" and lauded the influence he had in his playing days, a quality he believes Messi lacks, during an interview with La Nacion (via Spanish publication AS):
Maradona and Di Stéfano were the two greatest players. Different, but the greatest.
