Lionel Messi has revealed he has not spoken with Diego Maradona for almost six years, but insists they have a “great relationship”.
The Argentina captain has frequently been compared with Maradona throughout his career and the pair worked together when Maradona coached the national team at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
“We haven’t spoken in a long time, since the World Cup [2010] we may have crossed paths once or twice,” Messi said in Spanish on Egyptian TV.
“He has his life, his things and I have mine. We haven’t spoken at all. Considering that we don’t speak to each other, I have a great relationship with him.”
