Ridiculous still doing it at that age as well. Admittedly can reserve energy during Micky mouse league but it’s definitely helped him get to this World Cup and still perform.

Wonder if he’ll retire from football if Argentina win this one. Would be the way to go out, back to back world cups and copa americas doesn’t get much better.

I'm too young for those you mentioned (only saw the latter end of Maradona) but Messi is without doubt the greatest player I've had to god fortune of seeing.

Would be great to see what those players you mentioned could do with modern technology though

Maradona won a world cup almost on his own and dragged a dreadful Argentina team to a WC final whilst only being able to run due to cortisone injections (and cocaine ) Cruyff was a genius who we probably end up being remembered more for his coaching and influence on those clubs / players he coached . Beckenbauer could control a game from defence or midfield (a little nod to Bobby Charlton here) and again went on to have massive influence after his playing career .
All old goal scoring records will be broken as the modern game is weighte in favour of attacking players and careers last much longer .
