Why does Messi needs to win a major tournament in order to be compared to Pele and Maradona?

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.

Im from Argentina. Messi is equal or better than Maradona. Maradona Had 32 Goals with Argentina, Messi is over 50 and nobody made more goals than him in our history. He Also is one of the better players ever been in his club. Im 42. So I saw Maradona playing.  I think you cant judge a player by the result of a team that has 11 more players.
