Messi Is Better Player Than Maradona, Pele – Pope Francis

Pope Francis says that he thinks Lionel Messi is the best footballer of all time.

Pope Francis said this in Krakow, Poland, during lunch while on a trip for the World Youth Day gathering, according to sport-english.com.

He was joined by 12 youths and one of them asked him, “Who is better, Maradona or Pele?”
and the pope responded, “For me, Messi,”
without giving further explanation.

A response that the particip@nts at the lunch enjoyed – and none of them were Argentine.

Reports say nearly three million pilgrims made it to the mass he was celebrating on the final day of a five-day to Poland, as the 1,050th
anniversary of Poland’s adoption of Christianity was celebrated.
