Messi would've been 'crushed' if he played in Maradona's era: Dino Baggio

Former Italy midfielder Dino Baggio opined that Lionel Messi would've struggled physically if he played during Diego Maradona's era, as many fouls were not called. "Messi back then would have been equally brilliant, but completely, absolutely crushed," he said. "Today, fouls are called before contact, practically. Maradona, in modern times, would score a thousand goals per season,” he added.
