Messi vs Maradona. Who is the greatest Argentine to ever play?

I brought in the Dali Lama of Argentina football, Leo Alvarez to crack the code.

• The quantitative accomplishments of Messi that are unmatched throughout the history of the game?

• Or the rebel Maradona, who did what no other athlete has ever done... take a lesser team to the top on both the world stage and at the club level.

  We used a criteria of physical, mental attributes, accomplishments and impact on the global game to find the answer and anoint the rightful king to his throne.
