One of the top-four of all-time. If people are saying that then he is not overrated.

The top players usually end up playing for the best teams, so you can't hold that against him.

By the same token he might not have had the players around him at international level to win more there.

I think Maradona didn't play with many other great players when they won the World Cup, but Messi has had a longer career, being one of the very best, than Maradona.
