Speaking in an interview with Fox Sports, Maradona criticized Messi’s performances for Argentina, suggesting the 31-year-old only plays well when he wears the Barcelona shirt.
He went on to question Messi’s leadership skills, emphatically stating that the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is “not a leader”.
As if that was not enough, the controversial Maradona added that Messi should not be called back to the Argentina national team anytime soon.
According to him, the Barca star needs to be stripped off the national team captaincy because he can never be a leader to his teammates.
Maradona’s latest comments appear not to amuse a lot of football fans, who have turned on the Argentina legend.
Many fans on Twitter, notably that of Barcelona, believe Maradona is only jealous of his younger compatriot and that is why he spoke that way.
