Mourners embrace as they wait to see Diego Maradona lying in state outside the presidential palace in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Thursday, Nov. 26, 2020. The Argentine soccer great who led his country to the 1986 World Cup died Wednesday at the age of 60.
Fans singing soccer anthems, some draped in the national flag, formed a line that stretched more than 20 blocks from the Plaza de Mayo, where Argentines gathered to celebrate the Maradona-led triumph in the 1986 World Cup. Hundreds of fans blocked entry to the cemetery before the arrival of Maradona’s casket, dancing and chanting as police moved in to open a way. The crowd continued making noise after the final ceremony began.
It was draped with the Argentine flag and shirts bearing his famed No. 10 from the national team and the Boca Juniors club, with other jerseys tossed around it by passing admirers. President Alberto Fernández appeared at midday and placed on the casket a jersey from the Argentinos Juniors team, where Maradona started his career in 1976.
Maradona’s soccer genius, personal struggles and plain-spoken personality resonated deeply with Argentines.
I admired his skill but his career was based on a cheat.
My dog eulogized maradona10
No es para tanto...
Maradona was the closest thing to God in football the real football. Only a real football fan with pasión knows how big is MARADONA Argentina and the world are sad for his departure but his legacy as a great player will never die. Rest In Peace Maradona
Sports as substitute for knowing / confronting reality
Good lord.
Wait for Trump's tweet about the despair on his funeral.
They’re an embarrassment
Diego is for current Argentinians what Evita was for them in times of Perón. They need one of these ‘saints’ every 1/2 century 🤭
37000 people have died from Covid in Argentina. Nothing. Maradona dies. Three days of national mourning. No disrespect towards Maradona.
Aw bewlshit.
Maradona? Hand of God? Hand of a cheat. Cheating at football merely compounded Argieland's poor reputation. The land of viveza criolla. The land of thieves. The Falklands have been British since 1765.
. This Is Very Sad - Diego Was AMAZING!!!... A Great Coach - And, One Of ‘THE GREATEST’, Soccer Players - ‘OF ALL TIME’... . Thank You - For Your Lifetime, Of Excitement. . And, RIP ‘Good-Brother’. .
Beata32311527 For the fans Maradona was over when he finished his career. We bury him now as a human being not a soccer player .
Imagine being so entitled that you're frustrated at his family's wishes

Excellent player ,I only worship one the Creator 🙏🏼 RIP DM
I wonder what the cause was?

Not even my parents would mourn my death in such a dramatic fashion. Looking at this photo and making this reflection, I feel that somehow I failed as a human being.😅
Crazy how soccer and basketball lost 2 icons this year...
