Dino Baggio compared two eras of football and chose Diego Maradona as the greatest.
The Italian believes that today’s rules, with fouls called before contact, would have allowed the Argentine to dominate even more.
“Maradona, in modern times, would score a thousand goals per championship”, he said. About Lionel Messi, he imagined the reverse scenario: he would have been “just as brilliant” back then.
However, he would have been “absolutely and utterly massacred”. Baggio concluded his argument with a clear statement: “That’s why I say Diego was the greatest”.
