The Real Madrid and Spain defender considers a domestic rival at Barcelona to be a better player than Maradona.
Ramos was speaking after Spain’s 1-0 win over Iran at the World Cup on Wednesday and made it clear his Barcelona rival was far superior to Maradona.
"In Argentina they know that Maradona is light years away from the best Argentine player in history which, for me, is Lionel Messi,” he said.
