MUMBAI: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have achieved enough in the game and would be regarded as great as Pele and Maradona even if they were to finish their glittering careers without winning the FIFA World Cup, believes Portuguese great Luis Figo.
"Winning is not always depending on the quality of the individual, it depends on a lot of other stuff," Figo, who is here as part of Viacom18 Sports' expert panel for the World Cup, told reporters on Saturday. "Of course is more prestigious if you win a World title or a European title, but doesn't mean that their career or what they did in the past was not history in football. So depends on each one's point of view."
