It is daft to compare eras because prime Maradona and Best would’ve been blowing out their arse after 25 minutes in they played in today’s game. The gulf in intensity between now and then is massive.

Exactly
Defenders now are like athletes compared to the defenders back then
Messi would score like 100 goals a season against those slow ****ters
They would have been training like the modern players. And playing on far, far better pitches without defenders who could kick lumps off then.
Which is why it’s dumb to compare eras because it’s ’if, buts and maybes’. What we do know is that Best was a piss-artist and Maradona a coke fiend.
And both brilliant players. There were a lot bigger piss artists around than Best in those days.
But still graced the pitch with their skills
There must be a hell'of a lot of players you don’t like.
Messi wouldn’t have survived in 82 when gentile kicked **** out of maradona the whole game and maradona retaliated once and got booked first
It was something like 25 fouls and proper fouls not a pull a hack
You can’t compare
The Henry’s mbappe Messi would never have scored the goals they have if you rewind thirty or fourty years
Why not?
They couldnt touch messi to foul him
What does that even mean?
Maradona could take kicks
I wonder if there's anywhere doing no win/no fee compensation claims for poor ****s having to watch 40 years of utter sh!te on pitches up and down the Country prior to the turn of the millennium
