Maradona: Pele's claim about Neymer is "stupid"

One of the world football legends Diego Maradona has reacted to a statement made by Pele, referring to it as "stupid".

Pele had earlier made a statement suggesting that Lionel Messi is not as good as Santos player Neymer.

Pele was quoted as saying:

"Now everyone is talking about Messi; he is a star. But he must first become better than Neymar".

"At the moment Messi is just more experienced."

Maradona reacting to this statement said:

"Maybe Neymar is the best player in the world, but only if you say that Messi is from a different planet".

"My God, that is just stupid," Maradona added.
