Veteran Argentine journalist Sergio Lavenski, covering World Cups since 1986, witnessed Argentina’s 2-1 victory over Canada in Atlanta. Lavenski, age 70, notably observed Diego Maradona lifting the World Cup trophy in ‘86 and scoring his iconic goals against England that same year. Despite witnessing Lionel Messi’s recent performance, the journalist believes Maradona remains the superior player. The report focuses on a comparison of the two Argentine football legends. Lavenski’s perspective carries weight given his decades-long experience covering the sport and witnessing firsthand pivotal moments in Argentine football history. This suggests a continuing debate within Argentina regarding the greatest footballer of all time.
