Maradona played in four World Cups, led Argentina to the 1986 title in Mexico and won the Ballon d'Or as the player of the tournament.
In the quarter-finals of the World Cup Mexico scored two goals against England to win Argentina 2-1, two goals that entered the history of football for two different reasons: the first was by hand touch, the second scored from a distance of 60 meters (66 yards) Dodge six England players, and that goal was chosen as the 20th century goal.

Maradona has played for many clubs, most notably Barcelona in 1983, winning the King's Cup, the Super Cup and the league title.He then moved to Naples and made an immortal history, winning two Serie A titles, the Italian Super Cup and the UEFA Cup.
Khatib also happened to win the continental title with Egypt in the same year that Maradona won the World Cup, when Bebo led the Pharaohs to crown the African Nations Cup in 1986 at the Cairo International Stadium.
Khatib also won ten league titles and five Egyptian Cups, and made history in continental competitions, scoring 37 goals in 49 games, a record that has yet to be surpassed.
Al-Khatib's most notable achievements with Al-Ahli were crowned the African Cup of Champions (the predecessor of the African Champions League) in 1982 and 1987, the African Cup Winners Cup in 1984, 1985 and 1986, in addition to the title of the best African player in 1983 from France Football magazine.

Algerian commentator BN Sports Hafeez Draghi told Al-Jazeera Net that Maradona and Khatib are similar in the skill and football skill of the current world football stars like Messi and Ronaldo. Compared to Maradona, who became a global legend, Khatib did not depart from the Arab-African space.

Draghi adds that professionalism was the only thing Khatib missed.He could have transformed it from a local and Arab legend to a globalist like Maradona.He would have exploded his footballing potential even further with Mohamed Salah and Riad Mehrez after several years of European professionalism.
