He had to swallow his words, what Pelé said about Messi and he now regrets

There is no doubt that Edson Arantes do Nascimento, much better known as simply Pelé, is one of the best footballers in history, with an enviable record and records to his credit. However, Pelé has always had a problem.

His problem is his excessive ego and pride, which has led him to make unfortunate statements about world-class soccer players, as is exactly the case with Lionel Messi, whom he has criticized on more than one occasion.

Among the statements that the Argentine is most criticized for, is the following: 'He only shoots with one leg, he has a dribble and he doesn't head well', he began a few years ago in an interview.

But the Brazilian hasn't stopped there, he said: 'For me Maradona was one of the best there was. They are going to ask me if he was better than Messi and yes, he was. Better'.

Now Messi makes him regret his words:

It seems unbelievable that today there are people who continue to criticize Lionel Messi or belittle him, when he has silenced his critics for years and years. In addition, now Messi is shining like never before at PSG, and he will seek to win the 2022 Qatar World Cup with Argentina.
