Maradona: I wish Ronaldo was Argentine

Diego Maradona would have liked to see a star of Cristiano Ronaldo's calibre line up alongside Lionel Messi for Argentina's national side.

"Cristiano is an animal," Maradona said. "I wish he was Argentine. "But I still prefer Messi. He is enjoying playing football and goes by opponents with ease.
