You hear it now from the Legend himself!
Quote:
Maradona, who along with Pele is widely considered to be one of the best players of all time, said Messi was one player at his club Barcelona and another with the national side.
"We shouldn't deify Messi any longer," he told Fox Sports. "He's Messi when he plays for Barcelona. Messi is Messi when he wears that shirt, and he's another Messi with Argentina.
"He's a great player but he's not a leader. It's useless trying to make a leader out of a man who goes to the toilet 20 times before a game."
That comment was believed to refer to Messi's extreme nerves before games, which have seen him vomit ahead of some important matches.

But I'm sure that if he was doing lines of coke off the toilet tank Diego's tune would be different.
