"El Pibe de Oro" died yesterday at the age of 60, causing a shock wave in Argentina, where he is an almost divine figure.
For many, he was the greatest footballer of all time. Diego Armando Maradona died this Wednesday, November 25 of a cardiac arrest in the suburbs of Buenos Aires.
As magnificent and whimsical as dark and unpredictable, the legendary number 10, winner of the World Cup in 1986 in Mexico, will remain as a genius of the round ball. From Boca Junior to Barcelona, and from Naples to Seville, “El Pibe de Oro” (the golden kid) capsized many stadiums around the world with his legendary dribbles, goals and free kicks.
The planetary star had also marked the spirits with the Albiceleste during the 1986 World Cup, scoring the “Goal of the Century” and the “Hand of God”. Everyone still remembers it, especially the English! _AF
