Maradona sees Messi as natural heir

Argentina coach Diego Maradona admits he would love to see Lionel Messi make the same impact on this World Cup as he himself did back in 1986.

Maradona took the tournament by storm 24 years ago in Mexico, scoring five goals – including stunning individual efforts against England and Belgium – and setting up five more en route to helping Argentina claim their second and most recent World Cup crown.
