Ian Wright cannot accept the idea that Lionel Messi winning a second World Cup would allow him to eclipse Diego Maradona.
Both Messi and Maradona receive god-like reverence from Argentina for what they've been able to achieve for their country.
But would a second World Cup win with the Albiceleste secure Messi as the greatest Argentine of all time? Not according to Ian Wright.
Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Ian Wright responded to Gary Neville's asking whether a second World Cup win would help Lionel Messi surpass Diego Maradona as the greatest Argentine of all time.
Wright suggested that a second win would settle the debate between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. But too many people revere Maradona in a way they will never revere Messi.
