#1 Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona

Argentina Training & Press Conference
This duo have had very similar career accolades

The two have not been a surprise to the football world, as their very similar dribbling style and the ability to develop world class attacking moments have made these two forwards the most feared and probably the greatest of all time.

Messi undoubtedly is a player with great club career statistics. But he hasn't had a major international trophy ever since he stepped foot on the pitch. Therefore the 31-year-old has been criticised by his own countrymen for not being able to earn international accolades.

This is where Diego Maradona has succeeded. With a very similar playing style to that of Messi, Maradona has had a World Cup and multiple continental titles. This is what success means to the Argentine supporters.

But with their ability to score goals from any position, Messi and Maradona have had a splendid career in terms of being two of the greatest forwards of all time.
