Neither Pelé nor Maradona, Lionel Messi revealed his real idol and shocks the world

There is no doubt, Lionel Andrés Messi is the best player in history, or for many, at least the top 2 along with Diego Armando Maradona, Cristiano Ronaldo or Pelé. However, right now the footballer whom Lionel Messi admires is going viral, because he is not as obvious as it might seem...

In general, Lionel Messi marvels at the figure of the number "10", in fact, he mentioned the following in a recent interview: “There are few 10 left, and now many are transformed into interiors or false wingers. Riquelme, Aimar... are rare examples. Much has been lost...

Specifically, Lionel Messi's idol, in addition to being Diego Armando Maradona, was Pablo Aimar: “I loved the way Aimar played, he stood out a lot in River; he greatly admired him as a player.”

What Zidane thought about Maradona:

Messi's most recent interview was precisely the one Zidane did, and during the talk, he mentioned this about Maradona: “Maradona was an idol for everyone, not just for Argentines. So for you to talk about Maradona, and especially you with what you have done, in the end he is very beautiful. As children we all wanted to have the number 10. He is a leader.”
