Pointless to even think they will ever achieve that level of impact. In my opinion Zidane was better than Maradona. If I had to choose between Pele, Maradona, or Zidane I would pick Zidane every time. I believe Zidane deserves every right to be considered one of the best 5 players of all time.
If you take into account all the factors involved such as length of career, professionalism, condition, fitness and so on then perhaps there is a good case that Zidane is up their with, perhaps even ahead of Maradona. But from what I saw of both players, Maradona at his peak was a better player than Zidane at his peak.

Don’t get me wrong, I can’t stand Maradonna, absolutely detested him when he was playing the way he robbed England, but ****ing hell he was a absolute genius and so exciting to watch.
