A hearse bearing the flag-draped coffin of Argentine football legend Diego Maradona rolled through the centre of Buenos Aires as thousands of fans bade him a final farewell.
Instead, it sped onto a highway out of the capital, followed by dozens of photographers and cameramen on motorbikes. Elsewhere, Napoli's players honoured club legend Maradona by stepping out onto the pitch wearing his number 10 jersey ahead of their Europa League match with Rijeka. All wearing black armbands, the team also wore Maradona's iconic jersey during the team presentation and minute's silence, under a photo projected on a large screen of the man who led Napoli to league titles in 1987 and 1990 and the UEFA Cup in 1989.
