Obrigado por ter feito um gol com a mão na copa: trapaceiro. Obrigado por ter dado água batizada aos jogadores da seleção brasileira: trapaceiro. Obrigado por ter sido um péssimo exemplo de esportista, usando drogas. Você nunca foi um exemplo para nossas crianças. Foi só craque.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️

he punched the ball into the goal

Forgot to say he was a despictable human being and a drug addict

And a legend off it. Literally

Its football, why the f*** dont you just say foooooot alllllll. Why!!!!

Maradona's place in popular culture and the collective consciousness is only matched by his great hero fellow Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara. And with no doubt, Maradona was the greatest playmaker in football history. 🇦🇷🔟⚽

The best that ever did it!🇦🇷❤️
