What people may not realize is, that just like the title indicates, all of that footage is from just ONE tournament (world cup 1986). This isn't a collection of footages from multiple tournaments, multiple years, clubs, etc. No, this is what he did in ONE tournament. Absolutely stunning performance. No player has ever played with that stamina, skills, speed, etc., in one tournament.
@@colupton7415 Zidane was the man of the final. He wasn't really great during the tournament (even sent off against Saudia) France relied (mostly) on Deschamps, Thuram, Dessailly and Blanc in 1998. Zidane's impact was way bigger in 2000 and 2006.
@@ominae1 Messi had and has everywere he played and still plays a Squad of super Players around .Diego won the Titel buy his own,even Legends of the Game said and still say "1986 Argentinas eleven was Maradona plus 10 others,didnt Matter WHO was in the Pitch .For me 1990 deserves the Same Respect because , He wasnt pyhsically on his prime and he had only Canigia and they reached again the Final
I've watched the whole tournament live on TV when I was still a little kid during that summer, and I remember vividly when I was watching Maradona playing, it was a supernatural display of supremacy on the pitch. He wasn't only just a heavenly gifted player, but he also was a true warrior and a leader... I've cried and screamed my lungs out, how this could be real!? I've watched him playing with Napoli as well, and he was also unreal, but that 1986 world cup tournament, was probably the best one the world has ever seen from one individual, even to this day... Messi might be the GOAT in terms of the achievements and the longevity, but Maradona was also the pure genius of the game!
iv adored argentina since age 6 1972 i was 14 86 i said im maradona in a kick about everyone said WHATS A MARADONA i said are you stupid his going to win the world cup on his own AND HE DID

Look how they don't even get what a golden ball is vs a golden boot and they think scoring equals playing they actually compare a tall athletic man who runs and scores a few Ronaldo to Maradona and Messi wen Maradona and mesi are leagues above him as in a whole monster size lead above him as was Ronaldo r9.. Maradona is the only one who's play was supernatural LOOK AT THOSE PITCHES those heavy leather boots the tackling the brutality of the game then and his life full of brutes monsters cling ons users mafia.. they have no idea how good he was his playing time is 1/3 of Messi yet his still the most foiled player in history he scored as many free kicks as Messi has in 3 x the time wen Messi was 22 ihe had 80 goals Maradona had 160 or something like that he was playing first devision football at 15 yrs old.. Messi was pumped with grown hormone for 10 yrs to build him up Maradona was immensely strong I don't belive for one second ,esis grown hormone was because Erp short derp he needs it medically I fully believe evryone knew he was like Diego a true 1 in 1 billion but he would like saviola and aimer be to weak to truly be great so they pumped in full of it to build him up and be like Maradona STRONG MESSIS INJURIE FRE CAREER IS growth hormone his weird hands ears nose are all a result of grown hormone to
I have watched Maradona on TV and in person (I consider myself lucky to have seen him live) during my Teens. I have never seen such a presence from one single individual in a team sport. We are all familiar with the historic footage now, but what make him special was this aura of being "unbeatable" to his opponents and the spectators. We didn't really watch the game, we watched Maradona. His ability to judge the ball, situations and the game overall was almost superhuman. I have seen him reach balls nobody would even run after. For some reason he could judge that he will get it. After a while you knew as a spectator that if Maradona would start to run, he would get it. If he was going after a kick, the ball would end up where he wanted it to end up. He had an incredibly low error rate, especially during his time from 1984 to 1990. His passes and overall accuracy have been unbelievable. His natural understanding of physics and motion should have been studied closer. He was an unbelievable talent, unmatched by anybody in my lifetime. His performances in 1986 are legendary, but one of the hidden masterpieces was his game 1990 against Brazil. There you can see another side of him as a strategic genius.
@@trlz3085 DieGOAT is obviously the greatest. It's not even a debate. The most underrated player ever btw,was the Magico Gonzalez... Incredible skill's and talent
Nowadays most players wouldn't even try to do what he did in most of those situations and just dive trying to get a free-kick or penalty. It's a shame, modern football is garbage!
Guys! I am talking about him as a footballer in the pitch, I know he did a lot of mistakes. But don’t forget, dealing with Italian gangsters wasn’t easy. And if you are a football fan you will know what I mean.
Maradona's performance in Mexico 86 way absolutely out of this world! He mas involved directly in 10 of the 14 goals Argentina scored in the tournament. Against England and Belgium he was just unstoppable. This was perfection!!! A performance very hard to be equaled. What a genius!!!
It has been 37 years since the tournament still the skills look out of the world... With today's methodical support staffs, hardest of training, video analysis, these look unreal, just heavenly... God of football, enjoy your days in heaven!
Maybe Hell, you dont know that, God decides who goes to Hell and who goes to Heaven, not you. According to Islam, 99% of all mankind that has ever lived will go to Hell, only 1% of all people of all time will be saved from Hell. And there is only 1 God and He is not human.

@@robertshmurda4614 Maradona was a team man. He was a leader. Messi even after having a reasonable team hasn't been able to live to the expectation for Argentina.
That coke helped him.....not to mention an elbow which won a world cup. That game is good as the Biden Admin. Yup one tournament. Fact is he was good - but the asterisk will always taint his low character choices and a goal that should have never been called. But hey, let us leave out the politics for a S American team to win the '86 Cup...Also let us leave out Argentina is Little Germany or Germany 2.0 since no extradition from Argentina for all the nazis who ended up there. 'Tis true, what people do not realize is... more than you can imagine. Sorry to taint the posting; but I wanted to taint it how Maradona tainted this WC.
What I love about his play is there were so many moments where he could have simply fallen over to draw a foul, but instead he almost stubbornly stayed on his feet and kept in the fight. What a player.
If he doesnt stay on his feet, he would simply lose the ball. So many tackles would easily become a foul nowadays, but the referees back in the days had no reaction at all. The rules nowadays created Neymar type of players and back in the days we had warriors like Maradona!
I was thinking this. It's why you'll likely never see a player like Maradona again because the style of football played is so different today. Something else.
He is not people have to stop saying this nonsense. Football evolved so much that even average teams today would absolutely destroy teams from the pre 2000 era. Maradona is one of the greatest talents of all time that is certain. But the further the sport evolves the better players will become. Also consistancy is getting better and players have their peaks for longer periods. I'm sure even Messi will be surpassed at some point. Maybe not in the next 15-20 years but it will happen.
@@serenity192 you must be a messi’s fan to say Maradona is not the best. I agree with you that football has evolved in the last few decades but that has nothing to do with talents. When it comes to skills and talent I don’t think we’ll live to see any player who can be better than Maradona. In my opinion, he will be always the best of all time.
@@proudman6651 Im not a fan of single players im just not delusional. The fact that u bring up "fan of x" is my proof you have no idea what u are talking about lol. Messi has been a complete player for over 15 years now. How long did Maradona have his peak? Thats why Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo can't be betterted. They both did the same as other players before them but they did it for a way longer period
@@serenity192 @serenity192 not sure how you used my expectation that you are a fan of messi as a proof! My comment was about my opinion that Maradona is the best skilled/talented/gifted player of all time. This has nothing to do with you and me saying you are a fan of x has nothing to do with the main subject you are trying to discuss here. Not sure if you are consistent here as you said people should stop saying Maradona is the best claiming that the more the football game evolved the better player we get then you claimed Messi and Christiano can't be bettered! BTW, Christiano should not be compared to Messi or Maradona. Messi and Maradona naturally have the talent and skills while Christiano doesn't have any of the skills we are talking about. He is a great player for sure but talking about talent he is no way to be compared to them. Finally Messi managed to play longer than Maradona but in my opinion Maradona had better skills. It is my opinion and I'm sure it isn't only me. You have your opinion which you can express freely and I won't try to stop you from saying it. Try to accept that different people have different opinions.
@@proudman6651 I never said Cr7 is as good as Messi thats simply not true as no one is or was as complete as Messi. But Cr7 is definitely above the rest. As statistics are confirming this as well. Statistically there is no world where Maradona could be compared to Messi. Thats why I was saying he was one of the greatest talents ever but no chance he is the best player of all time. You are entitled to your opinion but its simply wrong. Never mistake nostalgia for facts.
@@raider1297 Messi doesn’t have the strength and stamina that Maradona had. Keep in mind. Most of these games were played at noon. At the hottest time of the day. And Argentina played their games in Mexico City. At the highest altitude. 1.5 miles above sea level 🤓
@@light_angel.23 You're acting like Messi hasn't played in the physically most demanding era in the history of football. Back then players even drank and smoked while being active. It's always one for another. People will always look to discredit others if it doesn't fit their narrative.
@@raider1297 FIFA protects Messi. If you tackle him, yellow card. With Maradona, no! He was treated like everyone else. Notice how the only way to stop him was to tackle him. And look how many tackles came his way. If they had treated him like Messi, the other teams would finish with 8 players. They were trying to murder his legs. Messi doesn’t receive that kind of punishment. Football was more dirty then. The referees allowed more play. And look how Maradona avoids falling at all costs. Even after they foul him, he’s still going. What do we see today? Someone barely gets hit, and they fall to the ground like they were shot. All this flopping and acting BS
Nobody could beat his 86 world cup performance in a competition, nobody did and nobody will be able to achieve because that was too crazy. Please allow me here to give you some of his stats during this competition: 25 expected goals excluding his 5 goals and his 5 assists, 53 successful dribbles, more than 50 fouls by his opponents, 20 successful defensive duels won, 15 and 12 crosses and long balls. He had a stat of a top class winger, striker, defensive midfielder and playmaker, combined Pele, Ronaldinho, R9, Zidane, Makelele and Messi in 1 person. He was magical with the ball but also powerful like a horse. All his actions inspired generations of players. Wish him rest in peace.
@@aniksadhukhan8477not in a WC performance!! That is to say: in the 1986 World Cup, MARADONA received 53 fouls!! World record to date for most fouls received by a player in a World Cup (position 2, MARADONA in 1990 and position 3, MARADONA in 1982)!! Even so, being kicked by his rivals, he still scored 5 goals and 5 assists out of a total of 14 goals that ARGENTINA scored in that World Cup!! That is: they set the historical record for fouls in a World Cup, against an individual and he still became world champion, scoring 5 goals and 5 assists, being the OUTSTANDING figure of the tournament!! AND, ABOVE all: the referee did not award him any penalty, nor free kick, nor did they send off any of the players who kicked him (but he is the "cheater")!! They really couldn't STOP it. The best...
For those who know about football, you know his passes and dribbling are exquisite, unmatched. He moves his feet and legs in seconds to get the best possible play and his mind was going crazy with possibilities. He was given talent and he gave us this World Cup to appreciate the sport.
these are the highlights from JUST ONE World Cup? That's unreal...every second he defies my expectations of how he's gonna move, I can't even imagine how it must have been to defend against him
@@ddwfw its because when he was young, when he had no ball to play with, he would make small paper ball aize of golf ball and juggled it , hence he had no problem with real golf ball, what a dedication
he is literally fighting with everyone and every possible strength he has and nobody till now can't match his stamina, spirit, skill. LEGEND NEVER DIES ❤
Yeah 86 in Mexico he was unstopable...what a performance from El Pibe...every game in that tournament he play like a beast...best thing ever hapend to football Diego Maradona 10
@NMA 55 NIDHIN JOBI no he isn’t, Maradona is the god in Argentina, while Messi always will remain in his shadow! Messi ain’t half the player Maradona was.
El performance de Diego en ese mundial, de lejos el mejor que alguien haya jugado, incluso en el contexto social en el que ese mundial se dio. Magnífico la cantidad de recursos que tenía para salir de jugadas complejas, la visión que tenía en espacios reducidos, y con muy poco tiempo ya que lo comían s patadas. Diego para mí, el mejor jugador de la historia, influyente en todos sus equipos, Genio total!
No matter what language, no matter what continent, no matter what culture, no matter what religion, no matter what nationality, it did not matter if u watched football, it did not matter if you followed any world cup or not, or even if you cared about football......everyone knew his name. Diego!!! Maradona!!! The most talented footballer the world had ever seen. Born in a slum....he conquered the world.
Maradona was a gift to football, he changed the worlds view of the game, at a time when players were big and strong looked like boxers, Diego was short and compact he inspired the little kids in the playground made them believe they can also do it. Maradona was a one man gang yet always part of the team, he gave Argentina the world cup at the time they needed a celebration as a nation, after he passed a woman left a note outside his home saying " I'm not a football fan, but at a time when I was young and saw my dad cry daily because we couldn't afford food you made him happy by winning the trophy, the whole street was happy " People say Messi has had a longer run at the top, well would he last in that era? he would have been kicked into retirement by 25, Ronaldo, same, Maradona is the best ever, i'm so glad i saw him in 1986 football is not the same, players not the same, Maradona will always be the best. Thank you all those who made this great video
This is not a diss to maradona at all, definitely one of the best to ever do it and definitely the best from his generation, but Messi would run laps around the defenders of this era. I’m sorry but the game is simply better now. And it’s only getting better.
@@erickvega1964 you honestly think Messi would run circles around the likes of Baresi, Maldini, Beckenbauer, Scirea, Couto, Cabrini, Gentile, Hansen just to name but a few? Give your head a wobble.
@@erickvega1964 I think that you are right when you say he plays at a much higher pace than maradona, but the game was a lot tougher back then and in a game like football were other factors play a bigger role, the fact that a player, or the whole game, is faster, doesn’t make him better than the ones that played before. If speed played the biggest role, Mbappé would be the goat
@@erickvega1964 Messi is great and only 2nd to Diego mate. Messi's career at the top would be over by the time he's 23, Messi profited as did Ronaldo from the abuse Maradona took, they changed the rules to protect players, Maradona, Van Bastan, Gullit, these guys put up with attempted murder assaults. You can see in many video's Messi running with the ball with 3 defenders simply running along side him doing nothing because there not allowed to touch him, in diego's day 2 of them would have gone in with murderous intentions with the 3rd ready to dive in if the other 2 fail. You can only appreciate Maradona if you watched him every week 90 minutes 4-5 years the same way you've watched Messi.... in 2014 world cup Messi was most fouled player 24 fouls in 7 games. Gentile fouled Maradona 23 times in 1 game in the world cup Argentina vs Italy and got only a yellow card, he punched, tore Maradona's shirt, kicked, slide tackled from behind, shoulder tackled Diego into the advertising boards the lot. Messi would not be the player he is under those rules while Diego would be free to do more in todays rules. Both great players, one from the darkest nastiest era the other from protected and freed era, personally i feel lucky to have seen them both with Diego being the better in my view
@@Excecutioner147 Totally agree!!! Young viewers think that Messi is the GOAT but can't be compare in any sense with Diego. In that era the football was for MEN and nowadays the football is for BOYS. Don't waste your time explaining to people who ever saw Diego play, Messi for me even don't belong to the top 10 of all time.
His performance at that WC is by far the best performance ever, he is the only player to win the World Cup on his own, he literarly controled the game from start to end that is how good he was, and now he plays football in heaven RIP.
@@melvyndolby8625 they finished in the top 2 on 4 occasions during his time there, which they had never done until then in their history. And this was during a time when the Serie A was head & shoulders the best league in the world & several teams had huge budgets & squads compared to lowly Napoli.
Exactly the one playeur to play in the short team and win all only ,one World cup in 1986 finale to 1990 ,two scudetto and two cup Italia and one cup ueffa with Naples. Grande Maradona.

@@taxads7791 And defenders were allowed to murder offensive players. That's why I have him as the GOAT. He was brutalized and still embarrassed everyone.
I remember the 1986 world cup very well ( Lineker played with a bandage on his arm ) I was 12 and very much excited about England, then I saw Maradona and couldn't quite believe what I was seeing, & have never seen anything like it since...
Jaw dropping, spine tingling, scratch your head again and again skills of the genius little maestro. I'm 70, seem all the greats over the years. Not one dominated world cups from start to finish like he did in 86. He was the story. Head and shoulders above Messi, Cruyff, Zidane+Pele. Absollutely unplayable. On poor pitches,litty protection from referrees. There's never been a player like him and for my money never will be.
If you look at all the greatest players, they all have one thing in common, great balance. Look at the number of times in these highlights that Maradona manages to stay on his feet and finds a pass, or a shot on goal, after being butchered by a defender. It's unreal, the guy was from another planet
@@aminerkin9844 Not even close. I am 50+. I watched both tournaments live. There is no comparison. Messi is really good. Maradona was extraterrestrial.
@@daniellechnernl always trust your own eyes more than the hype, but since I am literally was not even a thought back then, I can't comment. Although, there is still possibly of you over nostalagyzing it, but again if that's what you saw you're probably right.
This is true. I am a Messi fan but what Maradona did in '86 with a Argentina with relatively no other stars in the team, was out of this world amazing, he was truly a one man powerhouse. Lets not forget what he also did at Napoli, which was a team that was fighting the relegation spots when he joined.
The biggest difference between the 1980s and today is that players had zero protection in the 1980s, and top players were butchered all the time especially Maradona. I think we only saw about 30% of Maradona's true ability because of the rubbish rules back then. If Maradona played in today's era he would be way much more ahead of everyone else. We would probably see dozens of plays from him to the level of the "goal of the century" or some even better plays than that. That's how good he was
A midfielder! Attacking and defensive show ! Unbelievable! He is just out of the world . He is the greatest player of all time ever played football. Undoubtedly. ❤
Every touch of the ball and anyone tried to destroy him to sideline him, but everytime bouncing back and fighting like being last day. What a warrior, deceptively strong, very fast, quick reaction, peerless judgement of the game, selfless, ultimate leader and his skills out of this world. Maestro, The magician, RIP Sir!
He was uniquely something totally unique , passion shone from him and as you say mesmerising to watch. I watched him as a kid and never seen anything like him.
Sometimes i feel like being Maradonna. While playing chess 400 elo points above someone else. You can do whatever the fuck you want and get away with it while your opponent can’t fathom how he will get hurt next. Unstoppable force.
You will never see this kind of natural talent in football ever again. Diego had it all, and he did it effortlessly: Dribbling, ball control, speed, instinct, goal, game vision, passes, freekicks,... He made a low team like Napoli win two Italian leagues and a UEFA Cup when Serie A was at his peak, he won the 1986 World Cup all by himself, won a intercontinental cup, Spanish league with Barça, Argentinian league with Boca,... There's no debate. Diego is the football GOAT.
I agree with everything you said, except one of your points. Do not undermine the rest of the '86 team - they were at their peak as well - you could argue that was due to Maradona, I will agree with you there, but the team was the other half of the equation.
What stuns me about Diego was not only how decisive and flamboyant he was, but how he totally dominated games. It's truly something that has never been replicated. God bless you Diego - the greatest the game has ever seen.
Maradona is willing to die on fields to win the games.. That kind of determination, we can’t see from players nowadays.. Players nowadays just like diva, while back then players like warriors..
He produced more moments of magic in that one tournament than some of the best players today produce in ten. Statistically he may not have the numbers to match Messi or CR7 but anyone who knows football would have to agree that this was the single greatest exhibition of footballing magic by any player in history. He set a benchmark that no one has ever hit since and may never hit. For it wasn't just his footballing gifts on display, it was passion, courage and tenacity. RIP D10S!
It’s not only skills It’s his human side,his passion and truthfulness towards Napoli & Argentina 🇦🇷 He is simply the best.there’s no replacement 86 is the best world cup ever played.period.
I can’t think of any modern day player that is like him. His skills his attributes.. I could say a mixture of prime Ronaldinho and prime Ronaldo9 phenomenon with his power running and dribbling skills but even that description is not good enough to come close to describing Diego Maradona ; he’s a once in a lifetime player ; we were blessed to see him play
Maradona wasn't just the player if this tournament but really was head and shoulders above any other football player ever in every football arena. He was at one with a football like no-one else, and always an absolute delight to watch.
Teknik Direktörlük Neden Yapmadı ya da Yaptıda Biz mi Fark Edemedik Acaba ?? Böyle bir yeteneği çok kısa süre izleyebildik, Teknik Direktörlüğü var mı, Kaç Yıl ??
As a born Brazilian ,it was my duty to hate on Diego ... As a Football fan i CANT deny how much i feared and later respected how insanely talented and how special he was in the field. I can say without ANY doubt i saw a single man win a world cup in 86 ,no defender could stop him, no goalkeeper could outsmart him , not even the judges could invalidate his plays. RIP El Pide de Oro.
you mean that goal maradona scored and judged "right" because england invaded someone? maradona is a political tool just like the 1986 tournament but for some reason people keep forgetting what maradona said or that "he alone" won that tournament because the reffs let it happen or that you dont play football without 10 others on the pitch Maradona is a political tool to control the people who love him. Great footballer but to many think he is jesus. Churches have statues of jesus removed because they want a statue of maradona sitting there... its beyond insanity for a guy who can kick a ball really well. "BUT YOU DONT KNOW WHAT HE DID FOR ARGENTINA!" Sure.
@@SkreltNL What point you are trying to make here? Its has no matter in the end of things. the 86 cup came and went ,Maradona was considered a genius before that and stayed the same until his death. The 86 Argentinian team had a VERY talented crew of players ,including beasts like Passarela and Burruchaga. If you didnt get my point when i said Maradona won the cup by himself as a figure of speech ,for how amazing he played, my guess you are taking it in bad faith. Also, I dont care if it was all a political plot to straight the low self steam of some nation ,if thats is your opinion,good for you.

@Fock Juutobe Golden Boot? The whole point of the Ballon d'Or is that it's totally different and separate from the Golden Boot, which is all about goalscoring exploits.

No. The greatest soccer personality OAT is Johan Cruyff. A player, a director, a manager, a philosopher. Maradona is the GOAT, when we are talking about ON the pitch.
We all know words cannot describe Maradona. We will never see anyone like him again. At 26 years of age when you become the greatest in the history of the game. Nothing to be proved after this tournament...even the word "greatest" fall short. You can see this man running with the ball without doing anything all day long ...
This is from Africa: Diego was a member of every family. He still is the best. He is the Idol of Ronaldo brazil, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Messi. He brought beauty to football. He also was a great leader in and outside the field. He was a man of the people. RIP Diego. We miss you.
I am Argentine and for him, for Maradona, you and I are speaking. We all feel that pride of having seen him play and being amazed by what he did, he is a kind of spirit that crossed our souls, my friend.
Amazing that there are so many people out there that don't realise that Maradona was the greatest of all time. This performance in Mexico 86 says it all. No player in history in their prime has ever performed at this level. He was from another planet. For me it is soooo logic.
Cuando Diego se retiró en el año 1997, dejé de amar el fútbol. Si es que alguna vez lo amé porque en realidad me parece que sólo lo amé a él? Es sólo fútbol, pero Diego lo convirtió en arte, heroicidad, pasión, rebeldía.
I've been watching football since '82. I'm French.Therefore I fell many times in love with Platini, Henry, Zidane and now Mbappé. Enjoyed Messi's magic, R9 speed, Bergkamp first touch and R7 haircut. But... Maradona '86 is the greatest performance of a human being with a ball at his feet...
I am only 17 so I am a huge Messi fan. When I saw at the last World Cup that Argentina fans saw Maradona as the goat and not Messi I was super surprised. It’s only after I’ve seen Maradona’s play that a realize how good he was. And Messi hadn’t won anything major for Argentina in the many years he’s been with the national team. Besides the past few years. He’s was kindve an outcast. I can definitely see why Argentinians see Maradona as the goat, he’s incredible. I’ve never seen someone absolutely carry a team in such fashion. Watching Messi at the last World Cup I it seemed like he was the whole team. But just watching this I can see what a one man team actually looks like. Happy new years everyone!
I'm English and I remember the '86 WC well. Maradona was unplayable and unstoppable. For opposition teams it must have been like Argentina had 3 or 4 more players. Messi is a wonderful gift to football but even he stands in the shadow of Maradona. I shouted as loud as the next man about the handball, but truth be told, no team was going to beat Maradona's team in that tournament. RIP
@@lexkanyima2195 who cares about friendly games? Absolute unnecessary. For your record: Italy has only lost once against Germany in an official tournament. For your record: Italy hasn't lost to England in an official game since 1977. Friendlies worthless at the least and absolutely not an indication of what wouldve happened
So Maradona being unplayable in a World Cup casts a shadow over a guy who has been unplayable for over ten years straight and has over 100 more man of the match awards than the closet player to him ? Yeah makes perfect sense 🤦♀️
@@michaelmullins8866 lol but you cannot deny that messi fails to showcase his talent in the finals with Argentina . Yes they won Copa and messi was the overall best player but what did he do in the finals ? Same goes for all the previous final matches too . Talent and record wise messi is untouchable but that leadership skill required to win finals is a different thing . Maradona had that . Messi's teammates said they wanted to win for messi , but Maradona's teammates said they won because of Maradona . That's the only difference and you cannot deny that .
In a stage like world cup ..against such difficult teams... In a single tournament how he handled so many players..his skills and techniques and dribbbles in just this one tournament is beyong imagination. My utmost respect to him. Diego will always be best.
I have never seen anything like Maradona before. Unbelievable technique, fast, strong, and most of all, a true leader and warrior on the field on the biggest stage - he made it happen
Correct. That's something which is not mentioned very often. maradona had the gift to make everybody play at their best. His approach was "if we fail I take the blame, you will be screened but if we win I will praise you and ensure you will get noticed". In this way the team as a whole play at its best. I have heard people saying that some argentinian player would have literally kill if Diego had asked them to do that. I believe it is true
@@nicolagianaroli2024Eso mismo, ¿ no paso con el Napoli ? Antes de Diego, el Napoli era un equipo abulico ... Llego el Gordo y empezaron a correr y meter TODOS ... 🤷 Eso fue obra de Diego .. . 👍👍😎🇦🇷
@@donramonramirez5141 yes, Diego was able to be the scorer, the passer, the captain, the trainer and the president. His approach with his teammates was simple: "don't worry, just contribute in the extent you are capable of. If we win the merit will be shared. if we lose I take the blame". An example to better explain the positive effect of Diego on his teammates. 1986 final and Germany has just scored the 2-2 ecualizer. Demoralized argentinian players bring the ball back to the center and look each other a bit shaken. Burruchaga laughs and says out loud "why are you worried? Cheer up, we have Diego in our team!"
La actuación más sobresaliente de un jugador en la historia del fútbol lo logró Maradona en el Mundial 86. Totalmente imparable, hacía magia con cada pelota que tocaba
Don't matter what they say, any one who plays or loves foot ball knows in their heart that Maradona was the greatest ever. If he had played in the current generation where rules against fouls are much stricter, he would have blown away every record and the minds of every player and fan world wide. Such a Genius, my God - I am from a small village in India, born to a Foot ball loving community. They say it's correct - Greats don't just dominate their field, they unite people. Long Live the Great Maradona!
@@joshmuz9018 you don’t realise.. he’s very much alive in our hearts and minds.. Maradona was the joy of the people.. when he played people felt joyful as if one of their own was out there scoring for them.. this was a common feeling echoed across the world.. The memory of that pure joy was and is unsurpassed and will live on forever
Break every record ? I don't think so... Football game right now is more defensive..more pressing game..while in the past more open and more attacking...he will still be great player if play right now in this era...but no..he will not break every record...
He was being completely mugged every game... and he kept on going. Absolutely brilliant. I'm a Messi fan, but what Maradona had to endure every game, and he was by far the superstar of the team carrying them on his back... this is the greatest tournament performance of all time.
Jamas en la vida ninguna persona vera algo tan extraordinario como Maradona en el mundial 86....Ningun jugador en la historia podra acercarse ni siquiera el 2% de lo que Maradona hizo en un mundial....un artista unico, simplemente el mejor de todos los tiempos.
20 minutes of highlights from 1 player at 1 World Cup. Most winning teams wouldn’t have this many highlights. Brazil 1970 is the only one I can think of .
Yo creo que la balanza tiene 2 lados. En el lado positivo, Maradona lo llenó más que nadie, pero el lado negativo, lamentablemente también. Supongo que los más fans solo ven el lado que les conviene, en todo caso, un grande entre los grandes sin lugar a duda.

Argentines should consider themselves lucky to have witnessed two of the greatest to ever do it. Two legendary stories of each at the World cup. And this one is impossible to top!
If Maradona scored 5 more goals with his hand the world of football would still owe him, 160 foules received in 4 world cups, absolute record ever, Laudrup comes second with half.
@@doncorleone7228 yes....maradona and messi similar...and they cannot replace each other...they both have their own uniqueness....because they both are the greatest of all time...they both had reached a level of play that other players could never touch....GOD Level mode
@@furqons7925I agree with you. Argentina has provided to the crowd the two GOATS(Maradona, Messi). Both of them were something amazing, unreal! And we can’t forget Jose Manuel Moreno, a super star of 1940’s that is not very famous to a lot of people today, but when a watched videos of him playing, I realised that he was easily in the top 10.
This man was super human on the field. Incredibly skilled and his attack strikes fear in defenders. No one can go the entire length of field & score like Diego Maradona The GOAT 🐐🐐🐐 - Love from Africa!
@S M not “in my opinion” but “to me”. That’s fine. Everybody’s got his subjective bias for whatever reason. In a certain country, you got people, huge number of them, who declare David Beckham the GOAT…😂😂😂 how lovely those people are - and Hollywood…
Ohhhhh, there were many footballer better than him! In a second I could name 20 players! At age of 30 he was dead! Before he was cheating for years with drugs! THIS IS THE TRUTH buddy!
Just look at the sheer love and ability he demonstrates with the ball with the creative juggling. It's beyond Messi as Messi cannot juggle and control the ball with every part of the body like Maradona does. Messi is an academy based talent. Maradona is a street footballer with insane street skills and all around body control. Messi also cannot take long balls and often if you watch Messi, he needs a team built around him that gives him low balls so that they are easier to control. Maradona straight out fits into any team in the world and he''ll control that long ball like a magnet attracts a door nail.
Diego is the reason why I started watching football, he made me fall in love of this sport and made me proud of being Neapolitan. Even though i’m too young to have seen you play, I’ll never forget you. Eterno d10s💙
Undoubtedly the greatest football player of all time. I was only 3 years when the love of football dawn on me under the influence of Maradona (The Godfather of football); RIP
More than anything else, I admire the display of bravery. What made him the greatest player of his generation was not only his outstanding skill but also a unparalleled obsession with winning. That guy put his body on the line during every match in that world cup. I remember thinking as a child that he won't survive the tournament.
@@michelleper5065 No clue about basketball, but when it comes to individual performances in a team sport, I fully agree that Maradona sits on top. The 86 argentina team won because of Maradona and ONLY because of Maradona.
I remember Maradona being a great player but this is unreal. The strength, power, balance, speed. Just ridiculous. Not only the dribbling but the passing also. And all this on awful pitches. I can understand how he was fouled so much as it was the only way to stop him.
Tecnica, velocidad, fuerza, vision de juego, valentia, maradona fue unico. No he visto desde el mundial 86 algo tan superlativo individualmente de un jugador en un equipo de futbol en un mundial. Leyenda.
Esta no es la recopilación de jugadas,goles,foules recibidos de un jugador en toda su carrera ,es la que un jugador hizo en 7 partidos de un mismo torneo con los mejores equipos del mundo clasificados para el mismo. Sos irrepetible Diego Dios bendiga a Doña Tota y a Don Chitoro por haber parido al mejor de todos los tiempos
Antes de hablar de Maradona muchísima gente debería ver esta magia extraordinaria. Si amas el fútbol es imposible no amar a el mejor de la historia: Diego Armando Maradona
Debo reconocer que yo era Anti Maradona y viendo este video me dejó callado, me quito el sombrero, es para mí el mejor de la historia no hay otro igual.
Maradona is not a football player, he plays a sport that only he has any notion of, and he is the unique individual that will ever be able to practice it.
Maradona86 is the best show of a soccer player of all time. Not a single player, to date, has been able to reach Maradona's 86 level. He really made the Mexico 86 World Cup his sole stage, without sacrificing respect for Burruchaga, Valdano etc. With only one World Cup, Maradona was able to establish himself as the idol of millions of footballers to date. Even Messi once stated that his idol player was Maradona. Gracias Diego!
Doesn't matter if Messi said that Maradona was his idol. You can surpass even those who you idolized; has we've clearly seen with what Messi has done in his career.
Actually, Diego should have 2 WC if the super idiot of Menotti had included him (then 17) in the Argentina winning team of 1978. He was back then a star in his country, but Menotti had other stupid ideas no one will understand. And in 1982 all was set up by Havelange (then the mafiosi FIFA boss) to hinder a WC win for Diego at any cost. That's the reason why Gentile (Italy) fouled him from the beginning until the end without getting multiple red cards, and why the Brazilians did the same.
Maradona is the greatest player of all time, and it's not even a close run thing. These clips show him to be the complete player: astonishing dribbling, shooting, passing, close control, vision, balance, strength, resilience, mobility and an indomitable desire to win. He could even tackle! And wanted to tackle (unlike other greats of the game)! As you watch him, you see him do things in a way that you have never seen before. Even the way he addresses the ball is unique.The turns, the flicks, the artistry. In a game played by millions over a century and a half, he made you think you were seeing something new, because you were. And all of this was achieved on awful pitches, with defenders trying to maim him, and his greatest achievements with Argentina and Napoli were with teams that were good but not great. He made them winners. Can you just imagine what he would have been like on today's pitches, with the protection of the officials, and surrounded by players like those of the modern Superclubs? I'm glad though that we saw him in his era - the romance and the brutality of it combined to make it a crucible of fire where you needed steel and guile as well as skill - and it cements his position at the top of the game, never to be surpassed.
As great as Diego was, fact is that we just don't know how great Pele was due to near complete lack of footage. But we do know Pele was an official National Treasure. He didn't play outside of Brazil because it was prevented BY LAW.
Brazil in 1970 had several brilliant players, a great team. An average Argentina team in 1986. But in Maradona, they had a player from another level. Won that World Cup on his own. Goat👍
Ohhh yesss!! This is indeed the greatest level a player has ever reached. The likes of Messi, Ronaldo etc may have been at the top longer but no one has peaked above Maradona of 86!! True champion - RIP
What people may not realize is, that just like the title indicates, all of that footage is from just ONE tournament (world cup 1986). This isn't a collection of footages from multiple tournaments, multiple years, clubs, etc. No, this is what he did in ONE tournament. Absolutely stunning performance. No player has ever played with that stamina, skills, speed, etc., in one tournament.
Before Maradona '86 there was Garrincha '62.
I thought Zidane 98 was on a par
@@colupton7415 Zidane was the man of the final. He wasn't really great during the tournament (even sent off against Saudia) France relied (mostly) on Deschamps, Thuram, Dessailly and Blanc in 1998. Zidane's impact was way bigger in 2000 and 2006.

He wasn't only just a heavenly gifted player, but he also was a true warrior and a leader... I've cried and screamed my lungs out, how this could be real!?
I've watched him playing with Napoli as well, and he was also unreal, but that 1986 world cup tournament, was probably the best one the world has ever seen from one individual, even to this day...

@@Elchorizerou must be mexican or sum 🤣 llore papitoooo
I have watched Maradona on TV and in person (I consider myself lucky to have seen him live) during my Teens. I have never seen such a presence from one single individual in a team sport. We are all familiar with the historic footage now, but what make him special was this aura of being "unbeatable" to his opponents and the spectators. We didn't really watch the game, we watched Maradona. His ability to judge the ball, situations and the game overall was almost superhuman. I have seen him reach balls nobody would even run after. For some reason he could judge that he will get it. After a while you knew as a spectator that if Maradona would start to run, he would get it. If he was going after a kick, the ball would end up where he wanted it to end up. He had an incredibly low error rate, especially during his time from 1984 to 1990. His passes and overall accuracy have been unbelievable. His natural understanding of physics and motion should have been studied closer. He was an unbelievable talent, unmatched by anybody in my lifetime.
His performances in 1986 are legendary, but one of the hidden masterpieces was his game 1990 against Brazil. There you can see another side of him as a strategic genius.
From 1975 to 1986 was his peak.
beautifully said...!!

Messi should take a lesson from Diego's play.

He is not people have to stop saying this nonsense. Football evolved so much that even average teams today would absolutely destroy teams from the pre 2000 era. Maradona is one of the greatest talents of all time that is certain. But the further the sport evolves the better players will become.

Maradona was a one man gang yet always part of the team, he gave Argentina the world cup at the time they needed a celebration as a nation, after he passed a woman left a note outside his home saying " I'm not a football fan, but at a time when I was young and saw my dad cry daily because we couldn't afford food you made him happy by winning the trophy, the whole street was happy " People say Messi has had a longer run at the top, well would he last in that era? he would have been kicked into retirement by 25, Ronaldo, same, Maradona is the best ever, i'm so glad i saw him in 1986 football is not the same, players not the same, Maradona will always be the best. Thank you all those who made this great video
This is not a diss to maradona at all, definitely one of the best to ever do it and definitely the best from his generation, but Messi would run laps around the defenders of this era. I’m sorry but the game is simply better now. And it’s only getting better.
@@erickvega1964 you honestly think Messi would run circles around the likes of Baresi, Maldini, Beckenbauer, Scirea, Couto, Cabrini, Gentile, Hansen just to name but a few? Give your head a wobble.
@@erickvega1964 I think that you are right when you say he plays at a much higher pace than maradona, but the game was a lot tougher back then and in a game like football were other factors play a bigger role, the fact that a player, or the whole game, is faster, doesn’t make him better than the ones that played before.
If speed played the biggest role, Mbappé would be the goat
@@erickvega1964 Messi is great and only 2nd to Diego mate. Messi's career at the top would be over by the time he's 23, Messi profited as did Ronaldo from the abuse Maradona took, they changed the rules to protect players, Maradona, Van Bastan, Gullit, these guys put up with attempted murder assaults. You can see in many video's Messi running with the ball with 3 defenders simply running along side him doing nothing because there not allowed to touch him, in diego's day 2 of them would have gone in with murderous intentions with the 3rd ready to dive in if the other 2 fail. You can only appreciate Maradona if you watched him every week 90 minutes 4-5 years the same way you've watched Messi.... in 2014 world cup Messi was most fouled player 24 fouls in 7 games. Gentile fouled Maradona 23 times in 1 game in the world cup Argentina vs Italy and got only a yellow card, he punched, tore Maradona's shirt, kicked, slide tackled from behind, shoulder tackled Diego into the advertising boards the lot. Messi would not be the player he is under those rules while Diego would be free to do more in todays rules. Both great players, one from the darkest nastiest era the other from protected and freed era, personally i feel lucky to have seen them both with Diego being the better in my view
@@Excecutioner147 Totally agree!!! Young viewers think that Messi is the GOAT but can't be compare in any sense with Diego. In that era the football was for MEN and nowadays the football is for BOYS. Don't waste your time explaining to people who ever saw Diego play, Messi for me even don't belong to the top 10 of all time.
His performance at that WC is by far the best performance ever, he is the only player to win the World Cup on his own, he literarly controled the game from start to end that is how good he was, and now he plays football in heaven RIP.
Agree 100% with every word. And then there was the time he went to a very poor team in Italy and won the title in his first season
@@melvyndolby8625 they finished in the top 2 on 4 occasions during his time there, which they had never done until then in their history. And this was during a time when the Serie A was head & shoulders the best league in the world & several teams had huge budgets & squads compared to lowly Napoli.
Exactly the one playeur to play in the short team and win all only ,one World cup in 1986 finale to 1990 ,two scudetto and two cup Italia and one cup ueffa with Naples. Grande Maradona. Impossible i m compare Messi with Maradona,Messi play in the Big team with the Big playeur next him , Xaviere ,Iniesta, Eto'o ,Suarez, ronaldhino , piquet ,Pujol ,Neymar, Henri , please Say me how you Can not win with that team ?? Impossible i m compare the prodige, the genius ,with the playeur FIFA
Thank you.
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
@@taxads7791 And defenders were allowed to murder offensive players. That's why I have him as the GOAT. He was brutalized and still embarrassed everyone.
I remember the 1986 world cup very well ( Lineker played with a bandage on his arm ) I was 12 and very much excited about England, then I saw Maradona and couldn't quite believe what I was seeing, & have never seen anything like it since...
There's a video of Linekar talking about Maradonna. The awe in his voice saya it all.
Jaw dropping, spine tingling, scratch your head again and again skills of the genius little maestro. I'm 70, seem all the greats over the years. Not one dominated world cups from start to finish like he did in 86. He was the story. Head and shoulders above Messi, Cruyff, Zidane+Pele. Absollutely unplayable. On poor pitches,litty protection from referrees. There's never been a player like him and for my money never will be.
Could not agree more!
If you look at all the greatest players, they all have one thing in common, great balance. Look at the number of times in these highlights that Maradona manages to stay on his feet and finds a pass, or a shot on goal, after being butchered by a defender. It's unreal, the guy was from another planet
@Alex Zoar was you alive when Pele was playing ?
@@melvyndolby8625Pele was good but Diego was much better 😅

@@aminerkin9844 Not even close. I am 50+. I watched both tournaments live. There is no comparison. Messi is really good. Maradona was extraterrestrial.
@@daniellechnernl always trust your own eyes more than the hype, but since I am literally was not even a thought back then, I can't comment.
Although, there is still possibly of you over nostalagyzing it, but again if that's what you saw you're probably right.
This is true. I am a Messi fan but what Maradona did in '86 with a Argentina with relatively no other stars in the team, was out of this world amazing, he was truly a one man powerhouse. Lets not forget what he also did at Napoli, which was a team that was fighting the relegation spots when he joined.
Mbappe did the same
@@klaivertbego4398 france was one of the favourite, mbappe did not the same
@@klaivertbego4398 lollll no way
@@klaivertbego4398 Absolutely not.
The biggest difference between the 1980s and today is that players had zero protection in the 1980s, and top players were butchered all the time especially Maradona. I think we only saw about 30% of Maradona's true ability because of the rubbish rules back then. If Maradona played in today's era he would be way much more ahead of everyone else. We would probably see dozens of plays from him to the level of the "goal of the century" or some even better plays than that. That's how good he was
A midfielder! Attacking and defensive show ! Unbelievable! He is just out of the world . He is the greatest player of all time ever played football. Undoubtedly. ❤

Every touch of the ball and anyone tried to destroy him to sideline him, but everytime bouncing back and fighting like being last day.

Never seen anything like it, he really was on a different level. Absolutely memorising 👋
He was uniquely something totally unique , passion shone from him and as you say mesmerising to watch.
I watched him as a kid and never seen anything like him.
The fact that people have the audacity to compare Messi and Ronaldo to him is hilarious. Especially the tap-in merchant.
Sometimes i feel like being Maradonna. While playing chess 400 elo points above someone else. You can do whatever the fuck you want and get away with it
while your opponent can’t fathom how he will get hurt next. Unstoppable force.
You will never see this kind of natural talent in football ever again. Diego had it all, and he did it effortlessly: Dribbling, ball control, speed, instinct, goal, game vision, passes, freekicks,... He made a low team like Napoli win two Italian leagues and a UEFA Cup when Serie A was at his peak, he won the 1986 World Cup all by himself, won a intercontinental cup, Spanish league with Barça, Argentinian league with Boca,... There's no debate. Diego is the football GOAT.
I agree with everything you said, except one of your points. Do not undermine the rest of the '86 team - they were at their peak as well - you could argue that was due to Maradona, I will agree with you there, but the team was the other half of the equation.
CR7 is better, R9 was better, Messi is better, even if Maradona was a legend.

What stuns me about Diego was not only how decisive and flamboyant he was, but how he totally dominated games. It's truly something that has never been replicated. God bless you Diego - the greatest the game has ever seen.
c0c4in3 won this WCup
he won by himself... did it many times... it was enough for him to have 10 players.. any level and he would make them shine
Maradona is willing to die on fields to win the games..

@@sergobonhomme3210we font know cause they didnt play in the 80s
Playing against modern teams means having to beat a well defined defensive block. It takes more than amateur tactic
He produced more moments of magic in that one tournament than some of the best players today produce in ten. Statistically he may not have the numbers to match Messi or CR7 but anyone who knows football would have to agree that this was the single greatest exhibition of footballing magic by any player in history. He set a benchmark that no one has ever hit since and may never hit. For it wasn't just his footballing gifts on display, it was passion, courage and tenacity. RIP D10S!
It’s not only skills

His second against England remains the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on a football field.
Maradona wasn't just the player if this tournament but really was head and shoulders above any other football player ever in every football arena. He was at one with a football like no-one else, and always an absolute delight to watch.

you cant hate the divine... this is what diego armando maradona is... very different than any other football player in history
you mean that goal maradona scored and judged "right" because england invaded someone?
maradona is a political tool just like the 1986 tournament
but for some reason people keep forgetting what maradona said
or that "he alone" won that tournament because the reffs let it happen
or that you dont play football without 10 others on the pitch
Maradona is a political tool to control the people who love him. Great footballer but to many think he is jesus. Churches have statues of jesus removed because they want a statue of maradona sitting there... its beyond insanity for a guy who can kick a ball really well.
"BUT YOU DONT KNOW WHAT HE DID FOR ARGENTINA!"
Sure.
@@SkreltNL What point you are trying to make here?
Its has no matter in the end of things.
the 86 cup came and went ,Maradona was considered a genius before that and stayed the same until his death.
The 86 Argentinian team had a VERY talented crew of players ,including beasts like Passarela and Burruchaga.
If you didnt get my point when i said Maradona won the cup by himself as a figure of speech ,for how amazing he played, my guess you are taking it in bad faith.
Also,
I dont care if it was all a political plot to straight the low self steam of some nation ,if thats is your opinion,good for you.
If in the 80s, the Ballon d'Or was awarded to a player from outside Europe, Maradona would have won at least 5 times.
Not sure cause Ballon dor
Is not real index

@Fock Juutobe Golden Boot? The whole point of the Ballon d'Or is that it's totally different and separate from the Golden Boot, which is all about goalscoring exploits. The Ballon d'Or has been won down the years by a goalkeeper and centre backs and is all about the best player in that particular year regardless of goals scored.
from 83 to 85 Platini was the superior player, Diego would have won 86 ofc, 87 and 89 most probably, 88 no, I think Van Basten deserved it.
this is absolutely insane. this was all during that one tournament..its not a highlight compilation of his football career. ive never seen anything like this.
Exactly. That is to say: in the 1986 World Cup, MARADONA received 53 fouls!! World record to date for most fouls received by a player in a World Cup (position 2, MARADONA in 1990 and position 3, MARADONA in 1982)!! Even so, being kicked by his rivals, he still scored 5 goals and 5 assists out of a total of 14 goals that ARGENTINA scored in that World Cup!!
That is: they set the historical record for fouls in a World Cup, and he still became world champion, scoring 5 goals and 5 assists, being the OUTSTANDING figure of the tournament!! AND, ABOVE: they did not award him any penalty, nor free kick, nor did they send off any of the players who kicked him (but he is the "cheater")!! They really couldn't STOP it. The best...
By far the No 1 personalitty and football player in the human history....all the other big players , looks like little kids in front of him , greetings to all Maradonianos all over the world from Greece
No. The greatest soccer personality OAT is Johan Cruyff. A player, a director, a manager, a philosopher. Maradona is the GOAT, when we are talking about ON the pitch.

Amazing that there are so many people out there that don't realise that Maradona was the greatest of all time. This performance in Mexico 86 says it all. No player in history in their prime has ever performed at this level. He was from another planet. For me it is soooo logic.
Cuando Diego se retiró en el año 1997, dejé de amar el fútbol. Si es que alguna vez lo amé porque en realidad me parece que sólo lo amé a él? Es sólo fútbol, pero Diego lo convirtió en arte, heroicidad, pasión, rebeldía.

It’s only after I’ve seen Maradona’s play that a realize how good he was. And Messi hadn’t won anything major for Argentina in the many years he’s been with the national team. Besides the past few years. He’s was kindve an outcast. I can definitely see why Argentinians see Maradona as the goat, he’s incredible. I’ve never seen someone absolutely carry a team in such fashion. Watching Messi at the last World Cup I it seemed like he was the whole team. But just watching this I can see what a one man team actually looks like. Happy new years everyone!

Correct. That's something which is not mentioned very often. maradona had the gift to make everybody play at their best. His approach was "if we fail I take the blame, you will be screened but if we win I will praise you and ensure you will get noticed". In this way the team as a whole play at its best.

7:38 although there is a foul, he still doesn't stop, stands up and continues running. Such a thing is too difficult to be witnessed today
correct me if i am wrong but i also noticed this on messi. also one of the players that doesn't dive and waste time rolling.
@@doncorleone7228 yes....maradona and messi similar...and they cannot replace each other...they both have their own uniqueness....because they both are the greatest of all time...they both had reached a level of play that other players could never touch....GOD Level mode
@@doncorleone7228 Messi doesn't dive, Maradona was a professional diver tbh.
@@furqons7925I agree with you. Argentina has provided to the crowd the two GOATS(Maradona, Messi). Both of them were something amazing, unreal! And we can’t forget Jose Manuel Moreno, a super star of 1940’s that is not very famous to a lot of people today, but when a watched videos of him playing, I realised that he was easily in the top 10.
Aside from Messi.
This man was super human on the field. Incredibly skilled and his attack strikes fear in defenders. No one can go the entire length of field & score like Diego Maradona The GOAT 🐐🐐🐐 - Love from Africa!
@S M not “in my opinion” but “to me”. That’s fine. Everybody’s got his subjective bias for whatever reason. In a certain country, you got people, huge number of them, who declare David Beckham the GOAT…😂😂😂 how lovely those people are - and Hollywood…
Ohhhhh, there were many footballer better than him!
In a second I could name 20 players!
At age of 30 he was dead! Before he was cheating for years with drugs!
THIS IS THE TRUTH buddy!
Just look at the sheer love and ability he demonstrates with the ball with the creative juggling. It's beyond Messi as Messi cannot juggle and control the ball with every part of the body like Maradona does.
Messi is an academy based talent. Maradona is a street footballer with insane street skills and all around body control.
Messi also cannot take long balls and often if you watch Messi, he needs a team built around him that gives him low balls so that they are easier to control.
Maradona straight out fits into any team in the world and he''ll control that long ball like a magnet attracts a door nail.
Diego is the reason why I started watching football, he made me fall in love of this sport and made me proud of being Neapolitan. Even though i’m too young to have seen you play, I’ll never forget you.
Eterno d10s💙
c0c4in3 won this WCup
Undoubtedly the greatest football player of all time. I was only 3 years when the love of football dawn on me under the influence of Maradona (The Godfather of football); RIP
More than anything else, I admire the display of bravery. What made him the greatest player of his generation was not only his outstanding skill but also a unparalleled obsession with winning. That guy put his body on the line during every match in that world cup. I remember thinking as a child that he won't survive the tournament.
of any generation....the greatest athlete of all times sharing the spot with michael jordan
@@michelleper5065 No clue about basketball, but when it comes to individual performances in a team sport, I fully agree that Maradona sits on top. The 86 argentina team won because of Maradona and ONLY because of Maradona.
@@ciousli and also napoli became a titan solely because of him
@@michelleper5065 he was the Michael Jordan of football
" I remember thinking as a child that he won't survive the tournament.
23"
I remember Maradona being a great player but this is unreal. The strength, power, balance, speed. Just ridiculous. Not only the dribbling but the passing also. And all this on awful pitches. I can understand how he was fouled so much as it was the only way to stop him.
Tecnica, velocidad, fuerza, vision de juego, valentia, maradona fue unico. No he visto desde el mundial 86 algo tan superlativo individualmente de un jugador en un equipo de futbol en un mundial. Leyenda.
Dizem que só dois jogadores de futebol ganharam "sozinhos" um Mundial: Garrincha em 1962 para o Brasil, e Maradona em 1986 para a Argentina.
@Serial Killers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Serial Killers xDDDD
@Serial Killers tenia 6 atletas africanos en el equipo....pero si,, era la manija creativa de ese equipo ....
Esta no es la recopilación de jugadas,goles,foules recibidos de un jugador en toda su carrera ,es la que un jugador hizo en 7 partidos de un mismo torneo con los mejores equipos del mundo clasificados para el mismo. Sos irrepetible Diego Dios bendiga a Doña Tota y a Don Chitoro por haber parido al mejor de todos los tiempos
a ver*
aguante el diego
Anda a la cancha bobo
Enquanto existir cocaína vão existir Maradonas
Afortunados somos de haber sido contemporáneos de semejante leyenda
@@dancingisraeli2376 ... si fuera por cocaina,, toda latinoamerica seria estrella historica de futbol jaja
Antes de hablar de Maradona muchísima gente debería ver esta magia extraordinaria. Si amas el fútbol es imposible no amar a el mejor de la historia: Diego Armando Maradona
I agree with you it's magical
Debo reconocer que yo era Anti Maradona y viendo este video me dejó callado, me quito el sombrero, es para mí el mejor de la historia no hay otro igual.
Foi um dos melhores sem dúvidas.
Para mi Maradona, Ronaldinho y Zidane los tres reyes magos del futbol
@@Rauliki_U_u ni por lejos se hacerca dihno ni zidane al D10S...NO ESTAN NI CERCA DEL DIEGO...POR FAVOR....EL REY DE TODOS LOS TIEMPOS
Simply the very definition of football and 🇦🇷
Maradona is not a football player, he plays a sport that only he has any notion of, and he is the unique individual that will ever be able to practice it.
Maradona86 is the best show of a soccer player of all time. Not a single player, to date, has been able to reach Maradona's 86 level. He really made the Mexico 86 World Cup his sole stage, without sacrificing respect for Burruchaga, Valdano etc. With only one World Cup, Maradona was able to establish himself as the idol of millions of footballers to date. Even Messi once stated that his idol player was Maradona. Gracias Diego!
Doesn't matter if Messi said that Maradona was his idol. You can surpass even those who you idolized; has we've clearly seen with what Messi has done in his career.
Messi can 10 goals a game and he still wouldnt come close to maradonas talent. I feel sorry for people who cannot see maradonas magic
@@mrporsche4236 Messi better. I feel sorry for you.
Burruchaga and Valdano are fine players. Fine. And those were the "good" ones!
Actually, Diego should have 2 WC if the super idiot of Menotti had included him (then 17) in the Argentina winning team of 1978. He was back then a star in his country, but Menotti had other stupid ideas no one will understand. And in 1982 all was set up by Havelange (then the mafiosi FIFA boss) to hinder a WC win for Diego at any cost. That's the reason why Gentile (Italy) fouled him from the beginning until the end without getting multiple red cards, and why the Brazilians did the same.
Maradona is the greatest player of all time, and it's not even a close run thing. These clips show him to be the complete player: astonishing dribbling, shooting, passing, close control, vision, balance, strength, resilience, mobility and an indomitable desire to win. He could even tackle! And wanted to tackle (unlike other greats of the game)! As you watch him, you see him do things in a way that you have never seen before. Even the way he addresses the ball is unique.The turns, the flicks, the artistry. In a game played by millions over a century and a half, he made you think you were seeing something new, because you were. And all of this was achieved on awful pitches, with defenders trying to maim him, and his greatest achievements with Argentina and Napoli were with teams that were good but not great. He made them winners. Can you just imagine what he would have been like on today's pitches, with the protection of the officials, and surrounded by players like those of the modern Superclubs? I'm glad though that we saw him in his era - the romance and the brutality of it combined to make it a crucible of fire where you needed steel and guile as well as skill - and it cements his position at the top of the game, never to be surpassed.
As great as Diego was, fact is that we just don't know how great Pele was due to near complete lack of footage.
But we do know Pele was an official National Treasure.
He didn't play outside of Brazil because it was prevented BY LAW.
Except Lionel Messi is better in every way possible.
@@TheFunkloft your dreaming mate
@@creativeearthian1702 pelé did play outsifde of brasil
@@spiderjerusalem9837 yeah but only way past his prime
Brazil in 1970 had several brilliant players, a great team.
An average Argentina team in 1986. But in Maradona, they had a player from another level.
Won that World Cup on his own.
Goat👍
Ohhh yesss!! This is indeed the greatest level a player has ever reached. The likes of Messi, Ronaldo etc may have been at the top longer but no one has peaked above Maradona of 86!! True champion - RIP
