Who is the best player of all-time - Messi or Maradona? | Mauricio Pochettino's Ultimate 5-A-Side 

2:20 poch literally predicted arteta's coaching rise

wow what a nice guy /great Manager

One of my most enjoyable interviews yet, loved chatting to Poch. Hope you enjoy it 👍

No hate but I find it interesting Messi is loved more than Maradona pretty much everywhere except his own country

This man is talking sense when he said MARADONA is the king and best of all times it is absolutely right

Its amazing I have not heard a single contemporary player of Maradona criticizing him - they always thought fondly of him, almost as a God..

He's magic, you know

Okocha and Dembele are two absolutely underrated legends! I mean Dembele who’s built like a tank dances past players so gracefully! Absolute Legend!

Maradona has the will and heart of a leader and a champion which i havent seen that much nowadays

Yes, finally someone who acknowledge how talented Mikel Arteta was

Humble in victory and dignified in defeat. A lot of managers could learn a thing or two about respect from Poch.

Great manager from a City fan. Him, Klopp and Pep are all amazing and the top 3 in that order reflects the truth

He has the capacity to marry my daughter

Oooooooo he’s majic you knowwwww Mauricioooooo pochettino !!!!!! COYS

It's always great to see a guy who is so comfortable with himself, so affable, and yet such a brilliant coach who wants to motivate his players to win. Interesting to hear his thoughts about Arteta - it's probably not surprising that Pep asked him to come to City.

Jay jay okocha😍😍. I love this. I am a Nigerian

I'm from England, I think Maradona is the greatest player ever.

Ivan De La Pena...when he said that I was like yesssss. Almost forgot about him but he was a glorious player. And Jay Jay Okocha too. Some serious quality in there. I'm sure Aimar, Riquelme & Saviola weren't too far away from his squad either.

Spoke no english when he arrived in England now look at him, his english is probably better than most english speaking people, amazing, great manager and a top bloke too.

He's such a charismatic yet demanding manager at the same time. He's truly amazing.

Maradona ♥️ I didnt see him I think he was one of the best of all times I rrspect poch as a person and he is nice guy

Can't believe some Arsenal fans thought Alex Iwobi was going to be the next Jay Jay Okocha, smh!

What a guy. Don't ever leave the Tottenham you are doing a great job.

Gracias poche por no olvidarte del goat Diego Armando Maradona. Orgullo argentino

I love this guy so glad hes our manager

What a guy, so happy to have him at Tottenham 💙

Great interviewer! Am happy Pochettino talked about Jay Jay Okocha the way he did. Cos, he is a great player in every sense!

love watching these videos...you find out what the great coaches and players are thinking

Messi is the best ever.Maradona was a stronger version of messi maradona had to endure more physical abuse tackling wise.people trying to injure him etc and he won a world cup he didnt have the consistentcy of messi though. But messi is better i think if it wasnt for his argentina team mates like higuain who cant finish a chance for the life of them messi would have won the world cup in 2014. But also because he is so consistent for his age the amount of goals he scores year in year out he has a better ratio on scoring than cristiano at this point of their careers. He can dribble like no one else. Assists. Free kicks. For me he is the most talented player i have ever seen. So for me messi is the best ever

I love Messi, but he can never replace Maradona in my heart. This is impossible. It's great to see Poch give respect to Okocha, one of the most underrated players ever.

Hes just an absolute dude. Oooozes coolness. Hope he stays with spurs 4 a long time

Great stuff. We love our Poch. (He's magic, you know) COYS!

Diego maradona greatest of all time

What a nice guys! Que tipazo Poche!

2.30 talking on Mikel. COYG

4:50 for who the best is (Messi or maradonna)

very respectable guy

Maradona is really the best player of all time,probably a bit underrated because of his shitty charachter off the pitch, but that guy on the pitch was simply incredible he and the ball were like if it was a part of his body simply incredible, he was in risk every match cause every time rivals tried to injured him. Most of people that dont say he is the best probably didnt saw him playing or are born since 1995, only rate him cause his character, are messi or ronaldo fanboys(most of people) or are english. And i dont approve drugs, but he started arround 1990 and consuming drugs dont make you better on the pitch or give you some advantaje, but in his prime he didnt in 1984-1989 he was too good. Just imagine if he wouldnt have drugs he would have been unbeatable he even said "if i didnt do the bad things i made, pele would not even come second." In Napoles people have the "maradonian religion". But still Messi is very good and i am argentinian that leaves in england btw jaja. My top 5: Maradona, Messi, Pele, Cruyff and brazilian Ronaldo. Also CR7 and Zidane had to be on the top 10!

Coach with managing football system consistency: 1. Rinus Michels 2. Marcelo Bielsa 3. Mauricio Pochettino

harry winks is magic

What a great personality is that fellow! I like him a lot ! :)

Vamos Poch, me gusta mucho tu Pais, saludos desde Leicester .

Long time since I saw such a good interview(er) like this, good job.

Maradona was the most talented player to ever play the game so far. Messi has better stats that’s off the table. He is better but Maradona is my favourite. If l’m playing against my greatest enemy, I would pick Diego without a question.

Great man

i had an de la pena trikot in the 90s from Lazio Rom, great Player, no one remembers him sadly

Jay Jay Okocha...so good they named him 2ce.

It is so funny that when Managers talk about the best players of all time , they always name players but not C. Ronaldo... after that some Facebook experts want to tell me that he is the GOAT😂😂😂 just stfu

Take a shot every time he says "capacity". Fun night that'll be

This is a good man.

Love Poch as a rangers fan viewing from outside Poch and Klopp are brilliant to watch

I wonder why CR7 never ever gets mentioned in the ranks of the likes of Pele and Maradona but Messi is almost always there. All the keyboard warriors would beg to differ of course.

Good trainer poch! I also like that he has eliminated the sold smoke of Guardiola. greetings from Lima 🇵🇪 Perú!!

thank you Mauricio

Sank you very moch! What a guy! I hope he coaches Argentina one day

Poch knows ball for predicting Mikel Arteta will be a top manager.

Imagine trying to defend against ‘dihno and Maradona up front together, especially with those two midfielders pulling the strings and picking out passes for them, terrifying...

Finally somebody aknowlogde Okocha

Jay Jay Okocha so good they named him twice.....

I’ve never seen pochettino without a tracksuit

I always say Okocha and Dinho are the most skillful players i've ever seen.

Forgot to mention Eric Dier

incredible

just sanqiu pochettino! sanqiu ... i love that guy!!!

Back in the day, I remember Del la penas name on the back of a lot people football shirts.

Jay Jay Okocha, one great player.

Jay Jay Okocha was amazing!! Also in Frankfurt he destroyed everything..

To me, messi is the best ever, he is younger than ronaldo and has more in every stat that ronaldo, so messi for me ( ik marodona is part of this but he doesn’t matter)

Messi established himself has the best player of all time in 2011. All he needs is a world cup to cement his legacy, people remember trophies and goals. not the details. That's why Ronaldo gets credit for winning Euro and proving himself with his country even though his team literally won the final without him. People forget that ronaldo was on that stacked Portugal that choked to greece in 2004

no offense but messi is the best and he will always be

One of the greatest managers on the planet agrees with me, Maradona is the best player Argentina has ever produced.

I can't get enough of the throwback pictures of Poch with long hair.

Suggestion - you and the other soccer am guys should come up with a prediction XI based on the players that the guest has played with and compare it to their actual selection.

Coming home in the summer

Poch was giving an extremely good reference for Mikhel Arteta 🤗 If Arteta was that good at age 17 as he mentioned... wow!!! Was it a recommendation for his preferred succesor?🤔

Let's hope he is given a budget to get some players who share the abilities of his Five-aside team

Jay jay Okocha what a magician on the pitch

mauricio is so likeable

Of course Maradona was the best and he’s the king 🤴

Poch didn’t pick himself

For me Maradona was the most skillful player who's ever played the game. His talent was ridiculous. But he wasn't the best. Although he shone brightest for a time his overall career was a tale of unfulfilled brilliance due to living a certain lifestyle that involved partying, drugs, etc. To be fair there were some unfortunate injury's and illness too, especially during his time at Barcelona, but he wasted his god given brilliance and large parts of his career on his own.

Jajaja el acento de Mauri! Sos más Argentino que el dulce de leche 😆😂😂

"Moussa Dembele is the best player in the world at 5-a-side" - Kevin De bruyne

What a nice bloke

He has the capacity to say capacity.

Jay Jay Okocha, so good that they named him twice!

Fenners just sat there in silence waiting for Poch to tell him who the first two players were🤣🤣🤣

The Best player of all time has not been born yet ⚽️

Ivan de la Pena and Jay Jay 🔥

Capacity

Haha, Jay Jay! Good choice!

Who cares who the best is? They are all entertaining in my opinion and they have all done fantastic things on the field. Messi, Maradona, R7, R9, Pelé, Zlatan, Cruiff, Ronaldhino, Zico, Zidane and many more have all done wonderful stuff and they were all great, so why is it so important to claim which one of them who was the best? It's just silly.

Never knew Arteta & Poch played together

Really interesting insight from a great manager who was also a pretty good player in his day. I can't understand some of the ignorant comments here from people saying the English hate Maradona. Those of us who actually saw what he did on the day can only agree with Maradona's response to what he did - he was mortified. After blatantly tipping the ball in with his hand, almost for a laugh, he was the first person that ran to the referee to pointing out that it was a hand ball and the goal shouldn't stand. There was, at the time (and probably still today) massive pressure put on officials to ensure that England were officiated against in every decision because of the way our press was uncovering fraud in both FIFA and the IOC. His second goal you can only marvel at no matter where you come from. If you play like that and it doesn't result in a goal, you've been robbed. In my opinion, Maradona had the sh1t kicked out of him in just about every game he played. If he was playing today under the current rules for both offside and tackles from behind which make it far easier for creative and intelligent players now than in his day, I believe the consensus would easily show him to be better than even Messi. My own preference for the greatest of all time, though, goes to Ronaldinho. His skill on the ball, tricks, artistry and just the sheer joy he brought onto the pitch, his character and attitude spoke volumes of him as a man and lifted everyone who played on the same pitch. Elsewhere on RU-vid there is a plethora of vids showing Ronaldinho at his best, well worth a look for any fan.

Jay Jay Okocha was one of the best. Too bad he played for the money. He was 🔥 🔥

ivan de la pena, the original xavi, the little buddha himself. espanyol legend

Such a likeable gaffer.

Me mata tu acento, Mauricio! XD Capo

He is argentinian and gives a LOT of value to the world cup that Maradona won and he managed and played in Espanyol for many years which is the second biggest Barça rival after Madrid, they literally hate Barça, so hell never say Messi.

Messi considered best in history except in Argentina
