The Forgotten Legend Who Sacrificed His Legacy To Save His Country

- Because for many newer or more casual football fans, it’s actually a common misconception that that Maradona was the one who first brought the title of world champions to his country. But the truth is, that there was in fact another who did it 8 years before - the original hero for his nation and singlehandedly carried his country to the top. A man who, if not for his prolific goalscoring, would have given the the Netherlands their very first world cup title.
And this forgotten Argentinian legend was named no other than Mario Kempes - the only Argentine in the history of the World Cups to be the champion, the top scorer, and the best player in the same World Cup. Something not even Maradona or Messi were able to pull off.

hei raymar, make video about paul scholes please
Mario Kempes - Diego Maradona - Gabriel Batistuta - Lionel Messi. i'd love to see a video on Batistuta and perhaps Angel Di Maria, unless i've missed either of these being featured in your previous videos. would love a long video on Batigol , for this handsome man was one of my all time favorites in football.
should be maradona miles and miles ahead... then the other 2 kempes and messi way behind... diego armando maradona was not of this world... kempes and messi were very much of this world
Ok
One of the Greatest footballers of all time, Mario Kempes!!
For ability my actual favourite player is Valencia
Without any doubt!
hubo otros enormes jugadoers argentinos incluso mejores que mario kempes como sivori, di stefano, moreno, bertoni, burruchaga, luis monti (mundial 30 y 34), stabile, y tantos otros cracks no reconocidos por sus perfiles bajos o por ser vergonzosos de personalidad y por esta raz´´on no ser populares o no servirle a los medios periodisticos para ''vender sus programas de tv y periodicos''.
@@pedrobello1371 Valencia houseman Babbington Brindisi willington
Yeah bro
He is not forgotten...Every Argentina fans know him..
u right
For the most of kids born end of 60's and begging of 70's in Croatia he was God of football and we had T-shirts with him until the new God from Argentina did not take his throne from 1986.
Absolutely.
Yep, but the people talk little about him.
Most people don’t. It’s sad
Mario Alberto Kempes was in Qatar 2022 Finals.
At one moment in the brodcast, they put him on the screen.
When i saw hin😢a tear of joy fell down.
Kempes is a very humble Man.
yeah you right kempes is some humble and low profile
For us old football fans we dont forget him .
Was about to comment the same thing, I don't think he's forgotten.
He is definitely forgotten by the younger generation/ the future of football.
I was born in Argentina and growing up I was shocked when my dad mentioned Kempes is the other player besides Maradona(and now Messi) that won us the World Cup. He was a baller and carried Argentina that tournament
I’m actually really glad you made this video. I feel he doesn’t get a lot of recognition for what he did for Argentina. It’s always Maradona or Messi but not the man who go them their first World Cup. I also feel Batistuta doesn’t get a lot of recognition as well.
ye batistuta, ortega, Zanetti, veron, alaya, simone, roa
Batistuta wasn't very successful for national side
@@zarni000 two copa americas, confederations cup and UEFA cup of champions. Really good resume to me
@@omarserrano5865 no world cup even close to successful is what matters. without maradona he was useless in 1994. didn't do a thing
Mario Kempes is actually a narrator in the FIFA games. I know for sure he’s in the 2022 one, but I think others, as well. This is in Spanish, of course!
He’s on fifa 23 as well. That’s how I found out about him. Legend.
Thanks for this tribute. Kempes deserved it. It's very unfair that he's not recognized as much as Maradona and Messi.
Because during his prime he didnt win major title with Valencia despite scoring hundreds of goal for the club. He only won 1 league title throughout his career which is during his short time at River plate. His lack of title has nothing to do with his ability, but it affected his legacy in long term.
Batistuta didnt win alot of major trophy at club level either but he remains popular because serie A was very competitive at the time and hugely popular worldwide. Kempes on other hand, only played in La liga and Primera division almost his entire career.
He's definetely among top 5 best players during the 70s. He was top scorer for four consecutive seasons between 1974-1978, winning golden boots twice in Primera division ,twice in La liga and then at the World cup.
Kane
No. His legacy is affected because he didn't challenge Maradona's captaincy in the mid '80s. Also Daniel was older captain (78-85) and could have remained so had Kempes supported him in '86.
Batistuta won Seri A with AS Roma
I never heard of him,but after this footage, I can salute him❤❤.He was the greatest
What a legend he is brutally underrated
You should do a video about Cannavaro, despite being only 5 foot 9, he was able to become one of the greatest defenders of all time.
Baresi as well
i didn't realise they were argies?
Thank you for recognizing Kempes. Love his commentary as well. Super funny guy. Stay in good health Kempes
My father and I were born in Argentina and we remember Kempes. You're right, though, he is not remembered as he should.
A truly graceful footballer. A joy to watch, even though on TV.
You can still watch him from time to time on ESPN in Mexico.
Edit: he is a commentator.
i knew about Kempes when i was a kid in the 90s.
Kids these days dont know a footballer if he isnt on fifa or pes
Spot on
The sad thing is....he is actually in FIFA and PES....Classic/Lagecy National Teams....but who reads nowadays and who would look him up?
i play both games and Kempes is not in the games@@mohammedblooshi3673
Di Stéfano is from Argentina. Surely he was the goat Argentinian before Maradona
but half of his career he was spanish
@@semmysloth-kh8jr He's always going to be an Argentine though
But he did not play for Argentina for his whole career
Nah bro. Ask an Argentinian and they'll say Kempes.
@@Dotsetcmy family is argentinian and no my older members of my family all said that b4 Maradona was Di Stefano

Thank you for making this video, this man deserves more respect and recognition
Mario kempes,en Rosario Central y en la seleccion primera vez campeon del mundo,como olvidarlo?increible jugador,simple El Matador...
Thank you for the opportunity of watching so many goals of Kempes. I've seen my country 3 times became world champion and the first one, 1978 could not have been possible without him. Thanks again.
Absolute top tier video as per usual Raymar. I have a decent enough knowledge of football but have never known about this guy, thanks for another interesting watch!
I actually met Kempes a few months back. He works in broadcasting and was doing the Manchester utd vs real Madrid pre season in Houston.
Great job as always Raymar. There are icons that should never be forgotten!
Bro these vids are so valuable to letting the younger generation know about the games greatest players🙏🏽 I thank you for still shining the light with great vids
Aston Villa Fan, The 1978 World cup was the 1st i remember. Kempes was magical. How much would he be worth to-day. The Argentina v France game was one of the Best Matches I`ve ever seen. Some of Kempes touches in that game were absolutely sublime.
Mario Kempes is not forgotten. He was a superstar like many others before and after him.
Maradona and Messi on the other hand are up there alongside Pele in the GOAT conversation
Kempes, Maradona, Messi. The 3 Argentineans that led their country to World Cup glory
Love this vid bro, the man is a goat and his match commentary on la liga is elite love watching Barca games cause of him
I remember Mario Kempes in the seventies. He had incredible flair and a magic left foot.
Mario Alberto Kempes,my childhood’s hero!
Mine, too⚽⚽⚽🇦🇷 - as a European -
Kempes was a great player, and like Maradona, he and Pasarella were the architechts of the first WC for Argentina. Unfortunately, this achievement is stained because of the increasing evidence that the Military Junta that ruled the country under a ruthless dictarorship interfered in the semifinal match between Argentina and Peru by bribing the Peruvian team in order to let the Argentinians win the match with a score difference over four goals (the game ended 6-0). Some months later, the Military Junta would have sent shipments of wheat to the Peruvian government.
Even if peru weren't bribed argentina will still win
@@roselineukpanah1222But they needed 6:0 against Peru, otherwise Brazil would have made it to the final, not Argentina. Peru had a decent team that time.
@@roselineukpanah1222. The win needed to be by four goals or more. Football is unpredictable enough that Peru could have kept the score down to a one goal margin, despite Argentina being better. The match HAD to be compromised for Argentina to guarantee that goal margin.
It is even darker. Some political prisoners were eliminated by being thrown, tied up, into a river from a plane as part of this disgusting transaction.
Shut up Peronist say that but it’s not true triste me the dictatorship were only there because of the USA who tried to prevent the socialist gaining power in the area
Di Stefano was the goat for decades, then Maradona took over and now Messi, how crazy it is they're all from Argentina.
Love this video.. Kempes! What a player…
Yep, watched that world cup final in 1978 and Kempes was indeed dominating.
I love Mario Kempes❤
Truly an hero
Di Stefano was just an actual wizard on the pitch
He played for Spain But Man what A player he Was!
lol good player but now a wizard
@@mightytitan1719 yes I agree now he is a wizard
@@Fooballking17 footballers like messi,pele,maradona,ronaldhino xavi iniesta ,george best di stefano ,natural talents are dimnished in football which i feel is sign of concern ,obviously player like messi won't come again atleast anytime in centuries but still
@@mightytitan1719 fair enough , I agree with you
How can people forget about this man that is crazy
hero
EVERYBODY MY AGE REMEMBERS HIM.... I WAS 9 AND STILL REMEMBER CELEBTRATING IN THE OBELISCO IN BUENOS AIRES, THERE WAS NOT 5 MILLION PEOPLE THAT TIME :)
Indonesia Super league is the last league Mario Kempes participation in the 90s, Bravo Mario Kempes. You had made Indonesia Super league History. As Indonesian We respect you deep in our heart forever, salute Mario Kempes
Let's be honest though, who forgot about Mario Kempes? People other remember him or don't know him in the first place (usually among young fans)
Young fans are the future of football.
If first heard from him in fifa commentary and look him up and he's a legend
And then you realise he's the commentator for many FIFA games (if you sleect Spanish language), at the same time he's been featured as a player. If anything those not so young guys (30-40 yo) are the more prone to not aknowledging him.
@@joelrodriguez9611 yea, I think I figured out about why young fans are mostly clueless. Back then most info I got was from newspapers and tabloids, if not from my father or grandfather, so I know about everything written. Nowadays people depend on social media, and they only got feed about things they support the most. Like for example my youtube is full Chelsea and EPL. Back in the day I would read even about leagues I don't normally heard.
I was always surprised why he never seemed to have been mentioned after Argentina win in the internet
Love the video about kempes
I have not forgotten Mario. A few weeks ago, I was speaking with a group of young people from the Latin America. They did not know about Kempes, but I told them Mario Campes was one of the best players in 1978.
MARIO KEMPEZ 🌟❤️🇦🇷⚽️
Thank you for doing this report on Mario Kempes. You really need to make a video on the greatest Goalkeeper from Argentina, his name is Ubaldo Matildo Fillol . To date he is regarded as the greatest Argentinian goalkeeper of all time, the Duck or El Pato Fillol is one on the most amazing keepers the world has ever seen. Another great video would be covering Rogerio Ceni !
Mario kempes we football legends know
Mario Kempes ❤
Mario Kempes won't be forgotten because of his winning strike
Thank You,!!!Indeed a Very Informative Scroll, I had never heard of him!!!Mario Kempes was very Gifted,talented and skilled one of a Kind......even in this era very few footballers would match his Style of Play.Very Impressive accolades as Well.Thanks Alot!!
Underrated legend
Soy argentino y nunca me olvido de el,ni tampoco los de mi generacion,goleador del mundial,botin de oro y mejor jugador del torneo
También hizo dos goles en la final , de jugada
My generation remembers very well this team with Daniel Passarella, Alberto Tarantini, Osvaldo Ardiles, Daniel Bertoni Leopoldo Luque and Mario Kempes
Good vid!
During every World Cup since '82 I had been praying someone would surpass or at least equal Kempes' 8 goal tally of Argentina ' '78. Well that was a very long wait, till 2002 when Ronaldo Nazario scored 8 goals for Brazil....Kempes is a Legend...!!!
Kempes is absolutely forgotten. Imagine him being Germany or Italy. He could be remembered as one of the greatest of all time.
I knew Kempes before. He was one of the G.O.A.T. in 1970s.
Kempes, Maradona and Messi all have Italian blood.🇮🇹🇦🇷
The time when Kempes won the WC, that season was full of conspiracy and controversy that brought negative impact in the eyes of many people, compared to Maradona and Messi glorious WC triumph.
Lol
Maradona scored with a handball, definitely not glorious 🤡
Argentina can only win with the help of higher powers, referees and paid matches. Imagine tournament, where your country gets every game suspicious penalty. Oh wait... XD
@@krunoslav2658The Winner celebrates, losers explains XD keep crying
@@usbombseven if he scored with his hand argentina will still win the match
im from argentina, and have grandparent and father followed futbol, so i think i can share some insight here, in argentina, sivori, pedernera, distefano, moreno, were all goats before kempes
And yet, most peoples didn't realize that the reason Argentina's current golden team was none other than Bernd Leno. In June 2020, when Arsenal lost to Brighton in Premier League game, Leno was brutally injured and Mikel Arteta decided to start Emiliano Martinez as a main goalkeeper for the remainder of 19/20 season, in which the club won the FA Cup and qualified for the Europa League, despite finishing 8th. Also, Aston Villa stayed up after the controversial game against Sheffield United, in which the opposition had a goal mistakenly disallowed (ghost goal), and this enabled Birmingham side to sign Martinez. With Aston Villa, he made some crucial saves that prolonged club's survival in Premier League, which enabled Lionel Scaloni to call him as a primary goalkeeper for Argentina that helped the country won the Copa America in 2021 and World Cup in 2022. This is simply the Butterfly Effect for football.
mario kempes and diego maradona, two of my father's favourite players
Kempes was an incredible footballer.
WHAT A STORY OF THE GREAT LEGEND
"Kempes is forgotten"
Nah man, anybody who forgets or ignores Kempes is just ignorant about football. For sure Argentines will remember him even better, the 1978 World Cup team was one of their most spectacular and it's left positive memories in that country. Scoring 2 goals in a World Cup final is no mean feat, and he didn't need penalties to do it!
as an argentinian im haooy to see you remember him
Very good 👍🏻 👏 👌
I haven’t forgotten. He was in Qatar watching all the Argentina matches.
Few people know that Argentina has been in six world cup finals. The first one was 1930 and they lost to Uruguay.
Raymar vid let’s gooooo
Do Roberto Carlos please. Love your video and especially your voice
A watched a random interview of a journalist asking Argentina fans Messi or Maradona. One fan said Riquelme. Another said Kempes
Nice video as always. But how did he sacrifice his legacy to save his country??
Mario Kempes, I assume?
After Maradona, Passarella, and Messi, I hope the Argentines mention Kempes, even if Batigol seems like a more popular figure for his incredible goal/game ratio for both club & country.
Our main stadium is literally named after him, we never forgot Kempes.
Look into "La Maquina" of River Plate. You may find them interesting. 1940s Argentinean soccer.
Am i the only one who sees a pattern? 3 great argentinian legends that brought world cup to their countries has a M in their names? Shout to Di Maria, man is unappreciateted 🔥
Excellent video, per wiki he’s still alive. I wonder why he wasn’t mentioned during the last World Cup
Pelita Jaya Legend
El matador doesnt mean the killer, it means the Matador as in bull fighter
Maybe Passarella will be a interesting figure to cover about
There's a family called Kempe in Sweden, they don't actually play football but ice hockey. They named their elder son Mario in honor of "El Matador". Didn't turn that well, although he had a professional career, he couldn't establish himself in the NHL. His little brother however, Adrian Kempe, has become a freaking scoring machine for the Los Angeles Kings. I always found it funny to see a "Kempe" scoring goals and more goals on the ice, only today did I notice that the Swedish Kempes actually knew and cared about the Argentinian Kempes.
In Argentina even Newborns know who Mario Kempes is.
Yeah, di Stefano is from argetina. Yes, I remember mario cempez, in my opinion, 4th greatest argentin. Maybe he should have won a balandor
How can they forget him? He's the guy that made the world fall in love with Argentina.
Mario Kempes was the best player from Argentina .
Maradona or Messi can never match Mario's foot work , it was such a delight watching him shift direction so smoothly and flawlessly that the whole motion was so fluid .
Mario kempes thats all i gotta say
Maradona was only 1, not 19, when the 1978 WC took place and considered too young, although led them to the U20 national title. I remember watching him in the 1982 WC and was young, brilliant, yet volatile.
love you raymar
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 El matador el campéon
Mario Alberto Kempes was also known as the Lion of Love
Can you do a video about the legend paulino Alcantara the barca legends

Not forgotten by us, just by the media
Kempes 👌🏻👌🏻
