The duel : Zico - Maradona

Confrontations between Zico and Maradona tend have an element of unfairness about them. Their 7.5 years age gap means that duels between them run the risk of being skewed by either immaturity on Maradona’s side (Brazil vs Argentina 1982 comes to mind), or a lack of youthful explosiveness on Zico’s side.

In this game, Zico is 32, approaching veteran status and playing his last season in Italy. Maradona is 24. He’s playing his first season in Italy and nearing the best years of his career. Can Diego outclass the old master in this fascinating duel? You decide.





I gotta go with Diego here. He got two goals, the second a magic one. Take away the goals and they looked even, but yeah, the goals put the Argentina over the top. Both ballers in this one.

Maradona and I'd venture to say it's not close even taking out the goals.

Maradona....But Zico won in the world cup
