yes,Maradona is unique but nowadays there are lots of talented players that could be as good as him.but this takes time and lots of practise .no one is imposible to beat and i am positive that in the future there will be someone who can beat Maradona's record .

I don't compare Messi with Maradona now because Messi is too young.He is a wonderful player.He is very talented,skillful and has a great capacity of tackling and scoring.I am still surprised how Argentina team was beaten by Germany in World Cup.I watched Messi against their arch rivals Real Madrid.He played like a hero in that match.He plays better with Ronaldinho.
I first saw Messi in World Youngs Championship.He became the goalscorer and best player of that tournament.1 year later,he was in Argentina squad.He improves his technics very rapidly.In 2 or 3 years,he will be the best player on Earth.But Ihe wouldn't be Maradona because he will better than him.

But maradona has shown his gift when he was very young.
So did messi.
2 years later, all of us would know how messi would be.

Well i don't think we need to compare these player's right now, because Messi has a very long way to go to be compared with maradona or any other such soccer legends. Of course by the look of it he has everything in him that is needed in a star player to shine, but it's too early to give him the title of "the next Maradona". But i do believe he may overtake Maradona someday.

We all hope Messi can overtake Maradona in the future.
And yes, we shouldn't give him so much pressure by saying he is the next Maradona.
