But why only international tournaments then? Messi's club competition record beats both Pele/Maradona.

Because the only people who refuse to compare Messi to Maradona are Argentina fans and media that don't give a damn about Messi's acomplishments with his club, and demand him to be as good and successful with Argentina as he is with Barcelona.
