Interesting thing you said that, Maradona was an idol to a young Kobe Bryant. When Kobe was young in Italy, he came out and said he used to love watching Maradona play when he was with Napoli. Two truly great sports icons gone far too soon
We have not only lost a footballing icon but a sporting icon in Maradona, He has left behind a plethora of iconic football moments which will be reminsced for generations to come. Rest in peace Diego Armando Maradona.
No other player has had the same prime as Maradona. When he was in his prime, he played the best football everyone has ever played in the history of football
Simple football ? Well if being the most technically gifted player ever is simple ok then, anyone who puts Cristiano Ronaldo next to maradona or dare I say better than Maradona doesn’t have a clue about football, he’s way to Rigid a player and not natural at all
I think the Italy-Argentina match in WC 90 is worth mentioning. Italy was the host nation and a formidable team, and didn't concede a single goal in first 5 matches. Then they faced Maradona and co. in the Naples stadium, and maybe for the only time in history, the crowd did not support the home team. There was not a single cheer for Italy, but all were for Maradona, Emmanuel, as they called him. Italy subsequently lost the game.
@@jacksonmacmanus1001 I think that disrespectful as England fans are being a bunch of 6 yo’s as they are regarding his only achievement was that handball watch the HITC sport video on it and you would understand that us English are still salty about that even after the died
I'm close to heartbroken! Diego is my favourite player of all time & the greatest of all time. There will never be a player as good as him! I always gave him his flowers when he was alive, always said he was the best. My heart goes out to his family & todos la gente de Argentina. Descansa en paz Diego, siempre te extrañaré Diego!
Man, as an argentinian, I've to congratulate you for your video. It shows why Diego still is a football icon and how it's impossible for a football fan not to love him
Maradona was kinda like Mike Tyson of football, all his faults made him just that more popular and relatable among the people. A humble, quiet family man like Messi is far too stable and "boring" to cause the same effect.
He came to Kolkata (India ) and an exhibition match was organized between two local rivals. That was an excuse, over 120000 people turned up to see him including me. Realizing he was surrounded by non-sense bureaucrats he climbed on top of the car so that we could see him. Despite being the god of football he took keen interests in local rival teams which (the clubs) I am sure nobody knows around the world. During break he went to the middle of the pitch and showed us some tricks before press/bureaucrats could catch him and block our view. Next day he was taken to a local ground and there he asked all non-sense bureaucrats to leave the ground, showed tricks to the crowd and handed them the balls he did his tricks with. That day I realized he lived for common man. He was one of us!!! RIP!
If Maradona were playing today he would be even more sensational than he was in the 1970s and 1980s. Video after video of his playing days shows him being subjected to the most brutal tackles imaginable, desperate physical assaults that today would not only win red cards but probably time in prison for the perpetrators. Such strength, such balance, such skill and such a will to prevail that surpassed anyone else's. Oh yes, and the sweetest left foot since Ferenc Puskás!
RIP Maradona. He may have had some negative issues but the amount of positiveness he’s been getting from the world is just incredible. Rest. In. Peace.
Maradona's passion and fire for soccer was amazing. I was a child watching the 1986 wotld cup. I still remeber the thrill and emotion. We are not Argentinian, but somehow he represented all of South America. And everyine else who has talents and flaws. He may have had flaws- but his talents and passion surpassed the ordinary. He extra ordinary After his death, I am learning about his politics. He was a poor child growing up. He was right about FIFA corruption and mafia. He tried to unionize players. And his pueblo attitude and smiles connected with all of us. He will be missed. RIP Diego
The gastric bypass surgery was actually in 2004, and when he recovered in 2005 Diego went on to host his very own TV show, "La noche del 10" (The night of the 10). It had some very emotional moments, like when he talked about his own death and what he'd like his loved ones to say when it happened, and also some pretty funny ones, as well as recreations of some of his best goals. He was a true popular icon, he also had plenty of bad things like violence towards women, not formally acknowledging some of his children for a long time, among others, but he also brought plenty of joy to so many people. Those who knew him speak of his human quality, how generous and humble he was, even after having achieved everything in his career he remained like that and he would often offer help to those in need. Diego was strongly opposed to social injustice and he denounced the corruption in FIFA way before anyone else, and yet supported some authoritarian, corrupt, and/or at least questionable political leaders. He was riddled with contradictions like these, he was as flawed as everyone else. But there was one particular area where he excelled over everyone else, and he managed to make millions of people happy by doing that. There's a phrase attributed to a great Argentinian writer and cartoonist, Roberto Fontanarrosa: "I don't care what Diego did with his life, what matters to me is what he did to mine". And the fact is that when someone brings so much joy to so many people it's hard to remember them with anything but a smile. It's your right to not be a Diego Maradona fan, for whatever reason, but please respect other people's grief and let us mourn him this first days after his passing. There will be plenty of time to discuss every detail of his life, each of his wrongdoings, and weigh them against his positive actions in a healthy and necessary debate we need to have about every popular idol, but now is not the time for it. Let's just hope that Diego now gets the peace and quiet he deserves and couldn't have for the last 45 years of his life due to his status as a world star. RIP Pelusa.
I have watched many great players from Pele, to Messi. There’s no one who is as talented as Maradona. In 1990 World Cup in Italy, semi final was between Italy and Argentina. The majority of Italian crowds supported Argentina only because of Maradona. This legend is super.
The first time I saw him was when I was 6 years old when he won the 1986 world cup. The first time I cried for him when he lost in the 1990 world cup final. One of the most dramatic matches was when Argentina won a dramatic 2-1 tie against Peru in 2013 through an injury-time goal by Martin Palermo. Maradona was the coach.

As an Argentinean I love to hear an English guy talking good about Diego 11:51, because he was pure football and anyone who love football would love or appreciate him, he was a human being after all.

His devotees revered him for both of them: not only was the artist's goal worthy of admiration, embroidered by the devilishness on his legs , but also, and perhaps more, the thief's goal, which his hand stoled. Diego Armando Maradona was worshiped not only for his prodigious juggling but also because he was a dirty, sinful god, the most human of the gods.

I’m a Sheffield United fan. We almost bought Maradona in 1978....a deal was verbally agreed but the transfer fee was later increased so we bought Alejandro Sabella instead...another very skilful ball juggling player with quick feet but Sabella was slow and lightweight. I remember the 1986 World Cup and I’ve never seen a player ever dominate a tournament so much. Regards the Argentina v England match...at the time I didn’t think it was handball...he disguised it so well. Felt cheated at the time then a few minutes later he scored that fantastic goal which made me speechless regards the unbelievable brilliance. Maradona has always been the arch villain in English history..he’s always been in the English newspapers over the decades...here he’s loved, hated, respected and will always be remembered.

Wow, as an Argentinian I really enjoy how deep you went into Diego's career and my family cant sleep lol there are just people screaming and celebrating his historic legacy. thank you

They are a rare breed and genuine once in a generation raw talents R.I.P. Diego
Many people know him as the football goat along with Pelé and Messi but nobody knows how his passion for standing up for the poor. Maradona fought against injustice, he’s a legend on and off the pitch. The world is mourning this great persons death.
Good one, bro. I only recently came to being a fan of “soccer” but even back then everyone knew who Maradona was. He transcends his sport in ways that only the truly legendary can. He will be missed, but at least the world had him!
SOCCER IS NOT FLUENT ENGLISH. IT IS A STUPID GRAMMATICAL DESCRIPTION OF WHAT FOOTBALL IS. FOOTBALL IS FOOTBALL BECAUSE IT IS PLAYED WITH FOOT OR FEET. THE OTHER STUPID IDIOTIC GAME PLAYED DOZENS OF IDIOTS HOLDING IN "THEIR HAND" YES IN THEIR HAND, A RIDICULOUS LAUGHABLE OBLONG SHAPED BALL, WHO RUN LIKE A BEHEADED CHICKEN ...CALL THIS GAME FOOTBALL....FOOT????? WHAT FOOT? THEY KEEP HOLDING THIS RIDICULOUS BALL IN THEIR HANDS OR THEIR ARMS....AND YOU CALL IT "FOOTBALL? ARE YOU BLIND? THIS IS AN INSULT TO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. FOOTBALL IS FOOTBALL. AND YOUR STUPID MORONIC GAME WITH OBLONG BALL IS CALLED HANDBALL. PERIOD.
This to me just showcases how you can not compare this current era with any that really came before it. Football is completely different and comparing the genius of both Messi with Maradona is nonsense! For starters this era, they have defenders who can't do half of the things that they could from the 70s up until 90s. The football, the boots, the diets, the gyms, the coaching facilities, the pitches...I could go on but all of those are worlds apart now compared to Maradonas era. Messi and the like are playing in the era most suited to beautiful playing footballers, Maradona played during a time that players would go to the pub hours before the game or in his case other illegal things. Luckily for me being in my late 30s I was just older enough to remember watching the 90 world cup and seeing his genius and others like him and also witnessing the beginning of the Prem and everything after but you just can't say Messi/CR7 are the best ever simply because they have the best of everything to have helped them along. Put any of the 10 world greats of previous decades during now and imagine what they could have achieved! Players will no longer be allowed to have the same demons, those players tend to not even make it past academy.
Exactly,players have so many physical experts,nutritionists,psychological help etc! Plus there isn’t as much hard tackling as there was before,even a basic player can make great runs and dribbles much easier.
His health would have been so much better. I don't think there will ever be better on a Football pitch, much as I want to put Mess and Ronaldo up there. It's just not the same. Maybe Messi because his teammates were the ones who let him down so heavily in 2014
RIP Diego Armando Maradona. The worlds greatest football player and always will be. Thank you for the wonderful magical entertaining football you gave us and all my childhood memories. Brings back great feelings of nostalgia, childhood, Mexico 86 and playing ball as a kid every time I think of the great man. Best times of my life, summer of 1986 aged 11. RIP I love you Diego
Nice coverage of Maradona's football life. The kind of guy I disliked on the surface but couldn't turn away and greatly admired when he was on the pitch. Like you said, a genius and conflicted man who wasn't perfect (who is?) but made a huge impact whatever he touched.
So sad. Didnt see him play, but in his final days he seemed so happy, like he finally understood life is to be happy, not to fight. A messy person. Evel took part of such a gentile soul. Sad.
For me it is Maradona's energy and passion to succeed in life that stood out. People with these qualities, to the degree that he had them, are few and far between. I admired him for this.
There was a spiritual aspect to his playing. There was something about him the modern bland player doesn't have. Every team he played on turned competitive.
I was to young to watch El Diego but i enjoyed watching him as Arg Manager. His manager style and celebrations was like Conte's we truly will never see someone like him again. RIP and amazing video.
You did our country so wrong but did so much for the sport and the world , one of the greatest of all time You will be forever missed Rest in peace Diego
The most talented footballer of all time and a definition of "Suffering from success". It's always dangerous giving teenagers as much attention as he got without knowledge of dealing with the stress that comes with it but considering Argentinians needed someone to give them a feeling of proper leadership, a young prospect showing what Argentina could be with the passion and efficiency, how could you blame them. A legend of the game and as there are more important things in life than football - a legend of a nation.
To me Diego is the second greatest after Pele , and greatest in my 43 year lifetime. Messi does not put his body on the line like what Maradona did. He got stuck in. Plus played against defenders who were real men not soft. He had no HD, no youtube,no internet to look at other players.
Regardless of who you support or where you are from, Maradona was a true legend of the beautiful game and its a huge loss to the world of football. Rest in power Diego Maradona!💙
He is at peace and god is holding his hand up there! It is sad that he will be remembered in some regard for his addictions rather then his footballing performances. RIP!
I agree with your Dad. I think all soccer fans, who watched the 1986 WC will say the same thing. Just unbelievable, who Diego destroyed all the other teams on his own. Since that tournament I am a hard-core Maradona fan. Simply the best.
I didn’t even have to watch to like the video. Diego was that influential to me. I would also check on how this is effecting Napoli, Italy. From what I have seen, they viewed him as sort of a saint. (Corrections welcomed.)
In this and other worlds,I am extremely so shocked and sad to hear my only idol and the legendary Argentine legend Diego Armando Maradona sir's death and have cried extremely so loudly after hearing this sad news!!!I am just only still crying after hearing this him deceased as I just cannot control my tears to lose such an iconic legend who,equally as the other legends Pele sir,Franz Beckembauer sir and Michel Platini sir had his glitteringly hardworking and successful career as a player and human being who was a genius in playing his stunningly magical football and scoring all his magnificent goals regardless of his "Hand Of The God" goal against England in the FIFA World Cup 1986 semi final!!!Rest In Peace the legendary Diego Armando Maradona sir,all of us including me will daily forever miss you in our respective lives and every generations that we would be born!!!:'( #RIPDIEGOARMANDOMARADONA
MARADONAAAA RIP DIEGO! No words ...Extraordinary talent, colossal intelligence and speed of thought, unbelievable technique, spectacular vision, an expert in playmaking skills, unpredictable passes and assists, disconcerting and unstoppable dribbler, perfect ball control, the endless repertoire of moves, the masterful free kicker. Master, genius! 🕯 ⚽ ⚽🕇🕇⚽🕯🕯🌹⚘🌷🌷⚘🌹🕯 Rest in Peace, my Alltime HERO!
RIP legend. Was watching videos of Maradona. The vicious tackles to try and stop Maradona yet he dribbled away or got up immediately and continue dribbling. No way Ronaldo or Messi would have done that. They scored more but if Maradona played with world class players in the same team. He would have won everything.
Now I feel what basketball fan feel

Good one, bro. I only recently came to being a fan of “soccer” but even back then everyone knew who Maradona was. He transcends his sport in ways that only the truly legendary can. He will be missed, but at least the world had him!
SOCCER IS NOT FLUENT ENGLISH. IT IS A STUPID GRAMMATICAL DESCRIPTION OF WHAT FOOTBALL IS. FOOTBALL IS FOOTBALL BECAUSE IT IS PLAYED WITH FOOT OR FEET. THE OTHER STUPID IDIOTIC GAME PLAYED DOZENS OF IDIOTS HOLDING IN "THEIR HAND" YES IN THEIR HAND, A RIDICULOUS LAUGHABLE OBLONG SHAPED BALL, WHO RUN LIKE A BEHEADED CHICKEN ...CALL THIS GAME FOOTBALL....FOOT????? WHAT FOOT? THEY KEEP HOLDING THIS RIDICULOUS BALL IN THEIR HANDS OR THEIR ARMS....AND YOU CALL IT "FOOTBALL? ARE YOU BLIND? THIS IS AN INSULT TO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE. FOOTBALL IS FOOTBALL. AND YOUR STUPID MORONIC GAME WITH OBLONG BALL IS CALLED HANDBALL. PERIOD.
The most talented footballer of all time❤️
RIP Maradona!!Legend of football..
This to me just showcases how you can not compare this current era with any that really came before it. Football is completely different and comparing the genius of both Messi with Maradona is nonsense! For starters this era, they have defenders who can't do half of the things that they could from the 70s up until 90s. The football, the boots, the diets, the gyms, the coaching facilities, the pitches...I could go on but all of those are worlds apart now compared to Maradonas era. Messi and the like are playing in the era most suited to beautiful playing footballers, Maradona played during a time that players would go to the pub hours before the game or in his case other illegal things.
Luckily for me being in my late 30s I was just older enough to remember watching the 90 world cup and seeing his genius and others like him and also witnessing the beginning of the Prem and everything after but you just can't say Messi/CR7 are the best ever simply because they have the best of everything to have helped them along. Put any of the 10 world greats of previous decades during now and imagine what they could have achieved! Players will no longer be allowed to have the same demons, those players tend to not even make it past academy.
Exactly,players have so many physical experts,nutritionists,psychological help etc! Plus there isn’t as much hard tackling as there was before,even a basic player can make great runs and dribbles much easier.
My father’s and my HERO. Can’t die. He is in our hearts. R.I.P DIEGO.
If he only had the discipline that Messi or Ronaldo has,he would have been supernatural superhero.....the legend Maradona Rest in Peace.
But probably would have been celebrated as he is today. A flawed genius.
You know I’d say that Maradona maximized his talent.That World Cup In ‘86 and his club titles with Napoli will live in football lore forever.
His health would have been so much better.
I don't think there will ever be better on a Football pitch, much as I want to put Mess and Ronaldo up there. It's just not the same. Maybe Messi because his teammates were the ones who let him down so heavily in 2014
@@rouskeycarpel1436 Of course lol. I don't think there will ever be a better Footballer
Imagine that.... he was THAT good with no discipline.
Messi and Ronaldo had to be THAT disciplined to just stand in the Diego's shadow...
I’m In Pain And I’m A British Man Utd Fan.
Imagine How Argentinian Napoli Fans Feel 😔
Lionel Messi cannot be compared to Diego Maradona, claims Maradona's son

Sad. He will always be loved.
RIP Diego Armando Maradona. The worlds greatest football player and always will be. Thank you for the wonderful magical entertaining football you gave us and all my childhood memories. Brings back great feelings of nostalgia, childhood, Mexico 86 and playing ball as a kid every time I think of the great man. Best times of my life, summer of 1986 aged 11. RIP I love you Diego
Kudos to you for making this so quickly, Alfie. Great job as always.
Fantastic video man. Keep up the great work.
Nice coverage of Maradona's football life. The kind of guy I disliked on the surface but couldn't turn away and greatly admired when he was on the pitch. Like you said, a genius and conflicted man who wasn't perfect (who is?) but made a huge impact whatever he touched.
Rest in peace Diego
Great video...
RIP legend❤️❤️
From Argentina, thanks for the video, you sumarize his story very well and descriptively. The world of football lost a great warrior 😪😪
So sad. Didnt see him play, but in his final days he seemed so happy, like he finally understood life is to be happy, not to fight. A messy person. Evel took part of such a gentile soul. Sad.
Rip legend
Maradona was way more than a football player he was a fighter and he fought for the people ......always
RIP Diego
Rest in peace Comrade Maradona. Hasta la Vista Cde
Fantastic footballer
Great revealation of Legend Maradona.
The best there is, the best there was, and The best there ever will be.
You will surely be missed r.i.p legend so sad
Im from Argentina and when the news came out it was a massive shock
For me it is Maradona's energy and passion to succeed in life that stood out. People with these qualities, to the degree that he had them, are few and far between. I admired him for this.
There was a spiritual aspect to his playing. There was something about him the modern bland player doesn't have. Every team he played on turned competitive.
His dad is a guarani (indigenous tribe) so maybe something to do with that
His life is inspiring! He has gone but his legend is always alive.
Well done, Alfie. A fine and thoughtful tribute to a true icon. We shall not see his like again.
R.I.P The greatest football player all the time. Diego Maradona
i suddenly remember a story about some argentinian worship him, make a maradona church, and his birthday is their christmas...
RIP el pibe de oro...
My beloved Footballer. Eternal legend. Rest in Peace, Diego.
thanks for this video alfie
I was to young to watch El Diego but i enjoyed watching him as Arg Manager. His manager style and celebrations was like Conte's
we truly will never see someone like him again. RIP and amazing video.
Fantastic video
amazing again as always RIP to the legend Maradona
You did our country so wrong but did so much for the sport and the world , one of the greatest of all time
You will be forever missed
Rest in peace Diego
This void will never be filled. R.I.P El Diego..Thank you for making me fall in love with the game.
The most talented footballer of all time and a definition of "Suffering from success".
It's always dangerous giving teenagers as much attention as he got without knowledge of dealing with the stress that comes with it but considering Argentinians needed someone to give them a feeling of proper leadership, a young prospect showing what Argentina could be with the passion and efficiency, how could you blame them.
A legend of the game and as there are more important things in life than football - a legend of a nation.
To me Diego is the second greatest after Pele , and greatest in my 43 year lifetime. Messi does not put his body on the line like what Maradona did. He got stuck in. Plus played against defenders who were real men not soft. He had no HD, no youtube,no internet to look at other players.
Regardless of who you support or where you are from, Maradona was a true legend of the beautiful game and its a huge loss to the world of football. Rest in power Diego Maradona!💙
Maradona might have been lost but he will never be forgotten in the history of foot ball
He is at peace and god is holding his hand up there! It is sad that he will be remembered in some regard for his addictions rather then his footballing performances. RIP!
Diego and God are snorting lines and smashing bitches as we speak. R.I.P. champ
God doesnt hold the hands of sexual deviant and drug addicted crooks.l, and shame on you for suggesting otherwise.
Diego Maradona is NOT in heaven.
@@NiSiochainGanSaoirse You're a salty English gombeen.
Heinz Doofenshmirtz does that name look english to you? Its clearly irish
@@jackmcgrath4780 An Irish wouldn't be such an utter gombeen about this. Only some English people who are still mad about the Hand of God.
Great video mate. Really well done!
Thank you for this
He was my dads favorite player and he said what he’s seen no player was better than prime maradona
dad says the exact same thing
Mine too
They’re right you know
@@legendsinfifa I would marvel at players like cristiano Messi iniesta etc and my dad would just say “you should’ve seen maradona “
I agree with your Dad. I think all soccer fans, who watched the 1986 WC will say the same thing. Just unbelievable, who Diego destroyed all the other teams on his own. Since that tournament I am a hard-core Maradona fan. Simply the best.

I didn’t even have to watch to like the video. Diego was that influential to me.
I would also check on how this is effecting Napoli, Italy. From what I have seen, they viewed him as sort of a saint. (Corrections welcomed.)
Police is doing a special operation 'cause they are fearing mass suicides, literally
@@elzurdorodriguez6650 oh my, really? Hope everything is fine in Napoli
@@thejamesonthestreet The city is Naples actually,not Napoli.Napoli is just the name.
@@ashishmehta8342 in Italy I think it is Napoli
@@moop.3549 Ok.The Italian name may be different of course.
RIP DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA🙏
Rest In Peace LEGEND.
I will always remember your reaction against Nigeria!
I didn't imagine I'd feel so much this man's death. I'd like one day to visit his childhood house before becoming such an outstanding player.
In this and other worlds,I am extremely so shocked and sad to hear my only idol and the legendary Argentine legend Diego Armando Maradona sir's death and have cried extremely so loudly after hearing this sad news!!!I am just only still crying after hearing this him deceased as I just cannot control my tears to lose such an iconic legend who,equally as the other legends Pele sir,Franz Beckembauer sir and Michel Platini sir had his glitteringly hardworking and successful career as a player and human being who was a genius in playing his stunningly magical football and scoring all his magnificent goals regardless of his "Hand Of The God" goal against England in the FIFA World Cup 1986 semi final!!!Rest In Peace the legendary Diego Armando Maradona sir,all of us including me will daily forever miss you in our respective lives and every generations that we would be born!!!:'( #RIPDIEGOARMANDOMARADONA
Depek The Great he is now holding the hand of god
GREAT DESCRIPTION OF OUR CURRENT FEELINGS! HUGE THANKS IN NAME OF YOUR ARGENTINIAN SUBSCRIBERS
Can't agree more although I'm not an Argentinean!
MARADONAAAA RIP DIEGO! No words ...Extraordinary talent, colossal intelligence and speed of thought, unbelievable technique, spectacular vision, an expert in playmaking skills, unpredictable passes and assists, disconcerting and unstoppable dribbler, perfect ball control, the endless repertoire of moves, the masterful free kicker. Master, genius! 🕯 ⚽ ⚽🕇🕇⚽🕯🕯🌹⚘🌷🌷⚘🌹🕯 Rest in Peace, my Alltime HERO!
All time Legend. RIP
Wonderful video!
RIP legend.
Was watching videos of Maradona. The vicious tackles to try and stop Maradona yet he dribbled away or got up immediately and continue dribbling. No way Ronaldo or Messi would have done that. They scored more but if Maradona played with world class players in the same team. He would have won everything.
great video guys
Shilton :"football's coming home"
Maradona:"my goals are beyond your understanding"
