I was born 1977 in Poland and learned in elementary school 1984-1992. When we played with collegues football during the breaks between the classes or after classes on squares and fields next to our school when somebody had very good dribble skills he was then called by the others Maradona. Maradona was for us top player, simply the best on football pitch. I was fan of him since 1986. Farewell Dieguito, rest in peace. I will never forget you.
The pass for Burruchaga’s goal in the final sums up his geniality ..surrounded by 6 players with a look in a split of a second he found the channel ... Absolutely the Goat D10S
@TheGiorgi7 yeah that’s where you got a bit confused. You are probably French. Let me give you an idea. In terms of natural talent we will probably never see another Maradona. Messi, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo (R9 and CR7) Platini, Van Basten they were all more talented then your Zizou. Btw Zizou as a Juventus fan was a great great player. Maradona was simply the God of football.
Maradona was more than football player ! He represented all of us who played on street,supporters ,hools ...He was always against the system ...He choosed Boca before River,Barsa before Real,Napoli before Juve ...Antiglobalist with big hart for regular people ! Diego is God!
From what I can gather watching tributes to Maradona is that he was one of those rare players who could change the outcome of a game on his own. Now, there are many players who can do that on occasions but to be able to do it again and again and again and that too in major tournaments, is really special.

Thank you my brothers around the world. Maradona was born Argentina. But he is a gift for the world. We are all so blessed. Hes spirit will live forever.
Diego Maradona was a maestro of football, who enjoyed global popularity. Throughout his career, he gave us some of the best sporting moments on the football field. His untimely demise has saddened us all. May his soul rest in peace.
My condolences to Mr. Maradona's family and friends. I will always remember as a little boy when playing football in the neighborhood, all the boys would play calling themselves "Maradona"! May you rest peacefully. Thanks for the wonderful memories of how amazing a footballer you were!
My English brothers. from Colombia thank you for the beautiful tribute. Diego was and Icon for all of us not just Argentines love him or hate him he should leadership by example like very few did, he will defend encourage, create magic on the pitch. Thank you very much
Greatest footballer that ever was.....and most likely will ever be. Ignore the stats.....and just watch his on-pitch performances.....and he didn't have the support of star players surrounding him like Pele, Messi or CR7 teams did.
He was inspired by George Best. Fitting that they both died on the same date. Unlike George he never scored a Miss World so he comes second to the wee boy from Belfast.
For Us Argies, Maradona was like part of our families, we loved him, we hated him, we tink he was a bad person and the best soccer player ever, just a part of us.
Don't speak for all of us, He was great but I think that Messi, even with his handicaps has being able to surpass him. That doesn't mean that he is not a football God tho.
As a 7 and 1/2 year old kid,the first time in my life in 1986, when i got to know a little bit about soccer, it was Diego Armando Maradona domi ating WC 1986. For me he is the all time best. Later I got to know that we share the same birth date,but he was 18 years senior to me. Love you Diego!!!!!!!!

It is absolutely inexplicable that a stocky man with a magical talent halfway across the globe could get an entire nation to fall in love with another. Ever since we in India saw Diego do what he did in 1986, Argentina became a country with which we had a kindred spirit. As years of mismanagement ensured the Indian team wallowed outside the top 100, we embraced 🇦🇷 and the great footballers that followed - Caniggia, Ortega, Batistuta, Veron, Tevez and of course, the greatest of them all, Messi. The sorrow we felt in 2014 and the great joy of the Copa finals last month ensures that we don't need politics and leaders to build bridges. All it takes is a small boy with a dream. And a ball.
no arguments, simply the greatest footballer ever. If he played in this era, with the same skills, leadership and personality probably we won't know any ronaldo or Messi
he may has not been the best because of efficiency, time span, etc, etc. but he was the one who created beauty the most, even during those violent times Marado' Marado'
That man is the Greatest Soccer player the World has seen. Single handedly defeated the Greatest Team on the Earth (Great Brazil) , brought Napoli from nowhere tothe Top. Etc Etc Etc.
Craig is spot on. Back then the pitches were terrible, tackling from behind was allowed, defenders were brutal, Italian defenders and defenses were the best they've ever been (Baresi, Maldini, Aldair, Scirea, Passarella, Bergomi, Cabrini, Brehme, Costacurta...), the game was nowhere near as open - especially in Italy, training and diet regimes are far more advanced/strict/professional now, and then we have the great advances in surgery where players today more or less make full recoveries. I would also add that while he did have some good players by his side (Ferrara, Carreca, Di Napoli, Cannigia, Passarrella) the teams he was in were not as strong from 1 to 11 as those that Messia and CR7 have had by their side.
Agree. For me it's always come down to this: Maradona did things I've never seen Messi do, and as great as Messi is, there's not a single thing he's done that Maradona hadn't already done, with a cherry on top
^^ That's what did it for me. The Napoli story. Truly posessed godlike skills, charisma, and soccer IQ as well...but I don't see any of the other greats accomplish what he did for Napoli.
Yes I agree , all sports today and players should not be compared to players back then. The rules in every sport has changed to prevent injuries to players and make sports generally more advantageous for the offense.
Your big heart and soul and determination made you the greatest and the legend you are..that's why you live in everyone's heart forever and for all generations. see you later big brother. rest in peace Diego Maradona..
Check the last 40 years of Calcio. Only 3 teams outside the 5 big ones won a Scudetto. Only 1 was from the south and only 1 did it twice: Napoli with Diego.

Yes I agree , all sports today and players should not be compared to players back then. The rules in every sport has changed to prevent injuries to players and make sports generally more advantageous for the offense.
1- Maradona and Messi ( joint )
2- Pele
3- Cruyff or Cr7
4- Cruyff or Cr7
Pele who recorded “goals” from kickarounds in his local park towards his official total?
@@nickcockayne7880 I agree with you
Pele isn't even top 15
