How did Maradona's success with the Argentinian national team compare to other footballers in history?

Diego Maradona is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time. His success with the Argentinian national team is a major part of his legacy, and he is often compared to other footballers in history based on this metric.

Maradona led Argentina to victory in the 1986 World Cup, where he was the captain and scored five goals, including the famous 'Hand of God' goal in the quarterfinals against England. He also led Argentina to the final of the 1990 World Cup, where they lost to West Germany.

Maradona's success with the Argentinian national team compares favorably to that of other great footballers in history. He is often mentioned in the same breath as Pele, Lionel Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Pele won three World Cups with Brazil, while Messi and Ronaldo have had success with their respective national teams, although they have not won a World Cup.

However, it is worth noting that football is a team sport, and a player's success with their national team depends on many factors beyond their individual performance. Maradona had a strong supporting cast on the Argentinian national team, including players like Jorge Valdano and Oscar Ruggeri.
