'All that separates Messi & Maradona is height' - Suker cannot compare Argentina legends

The former Real Madrid striker played with Maradona at Sevilla in 1992-93, but is unwilling to choose whether he is better than the Barcelona star

Croatia legend Davor Suker has insisted that Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi cannot be compared ahead of his country's World Cup clash with Argentina.

Messi missed from the penalty spot in Argentina's opening Group D game with Iceland, denying Jorge Sampaoli's side the chance to pick up maximum points.

Croatia are the next side to face Messi and Argentina, with Suker asked whether he believes their current talisman is better than the 1986 World Cup winner.
