Maradona vs. Messi goal

I found this interesting comment by Maradona when Messi scored his famous goal:

"Those who made that comparison were exaggerating, they really over exaggerated. To start with, my goal was more beautiful than Messi's. And what's more, I scored it against eleven internationals from England, a world champion team, and in a World Cup. Leo scored his against Getafe, in the Copa del Rye in Spain. It's not the same. It has nothing to do with mine. No, no, leave it, they are nothing alike. I scored millions of those kinds of goals in training, they're just not on tape. If we're going to talk seiously about this, don't make me say something I don't mean. "



Crazy fans did this interesting comparison, of the two goals:
Distance: Maradona ran 62 meters, while Messi run 60 meters
Time: Maradona 10.8 seconds, Messi 12.0 seconds
Speed: Maradona ran with 5.7 m/seconds, Messi 5.0 m/seconds
Touches: Maradona did 12 touches of the ball, Messi did 13 touches
Dribbling: Maradona and Messi passed same number of opponents (6 or 5) depending how you count them
Both celebrated at same flag corner of the field. Even TV broadcasting angle happened to be the same.

Irregardless of figures, I think both goals were great, but I favor Maradona goal much more, and I think it was more difficult one. Yet, I see Maradona comments were over-creative, and we gotta remember that  Maradona was 26 years old, and Messi wasn't even 20 (19 years, 10 months) when each scored their famous goal.
