Rio de Janeiro: German football legend Franz Beckenbauer said the FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and Germany could end up being a "clasico" because of terrific players who will play in good atmosphere and conditions at the Maracana Stadium here Sunday.
The Bayern Munich honourary president said that Argentine great Diego Maradona was a more exceptional player than current FC Barcelona striker Lionel Messi, reports Efe.
The 'Kaisar', who lifted the 1990 World Cup as a coach against Argentina, also highlighted the defensive durability of Argentina, comparing it to the Brazilian defence line which completely collapsed against Germany in the semi-final.
The Germans hope to repeat the 1990 World Cup final against Argentina when Beckenbauer led the team as a coach to lift their third and last World Cup.
