He said that Maradona was better than Lionel Messi, now he loses his life in Spain

In Argentina there has always been a debate about who is the best player in history between Lionel Messi and Diego Armando Maradona. Leo was asked for a World Cup to match the feat of '10'. With the title under his arm, many tip the scales in favor of the 'Flea'. Now, a former player who coincided with Diego and who publicly said that he is the best of all, lost his life in Spain.

This is Marcos Alonso Peña, father of the current FC Barcelona player, Marcos Alonso. The former Spanish striker and coach lost his life due to a long illness. He is remembered for his time with the culé team, where he met Diego Armando Maradona and managed to win five titles.

He was always related to the club and also showed his admiration for Lionel Messi. However, when asked years ago about who is better between Leo and Maradona, he said: "I'm sorry, for me Maradona is the best there has always been. These are different times and now footballers are much more protected thanks to television. At that time kicks were the order of the day, it was terrible and this protection did not exist."

Marcos Alonso Peña's career:

The Spaniard made his professional debut at Racing Santander and spent his entire career in Spain, where he also defended the jerseys of Atlético de Madrid, FC Barcelona and Logroñés. He was international with the 'Red' on 22 occasions and played friendlies against South American teams such as Venezuela, Colombia and Chile.
