The best in history for sure, he's the most talented along Maradona, but as someone said Messi was Maradona every day for the past 15 years, and not even Maradona was Maradona every day, it's unbelievable.
I prefer labelling Messi best of his generation, which is the fairest way to make such a statement. Different generations, different styles and dynamics in football. But what has always amazed me is Leo's consistency in brilliance throughout the years, from 2007 to 2019 he dominated the game in spectacular fashion. It's only comparable with Pele's dominance from 1958-1970, but still he had Garrincha covering for him early in his career. The other GOAT Maradona peaked for about 8 years from 1982-1990 and then his drug abuse took its toll.
