Diego Maradona
What happens when a boy from a poor neighbourhood becomes the god of football? This is the story of Diego Maradona.
Born in Argentina in 1960, Maradona grew up in poverty but discovered his extraordinary talent with a football at his feet. By just sixteen, he had made his international debut.
In 1986, he captained Argentina to World Cup glory. Against England, he scored two unforgettable goals — the controversial Hand of God and the breathtaking Goal of the Century. His magic also transformed Napoli, leading the Italian club to two Serie A titles.

But behind the genius was a complicated man, struggling with addiction, controversy, and personal battles. His life was as dramatic as his football. On November 25, 2020, Maradona died at sixty. But legends never truly disappear. For millions, he wasn’t just a footballer. He was passion, rebellion, and pure magic.
Diego Maradona — forever El Pibe de Oro, the Golden Boy.
