The 1986 World Cup was never meant to be Mexico’s. Originally destined for Colombia, the tournament’s location was drastically altered by the tides of history. Political instability, entrenched violence, and the relentless grip of the drug trade plunged Colombia into chaos, forcing the government to relinquish its hosting rights in January 1983. Behind the scenes, FIFA’s internal manoeuvrings secured Mexico as the unexpected replacement, but fate had more trials in store for the new hosts.
In the early hours of September 19, 1985, disaster struck!
An 8.1-magnitude earthquake shattered Mexico City, flattening buildings and scattering lives across the rubble-strewn streets. In less than three minutes, over 25,000 people lost their lives, 150,000 were left homeless, and the financial cost of devastation soared to USD 4 billion. The colossal tragedy unfolded just eight months before the scheduled kickoff at the Estadio Azteca, placing the entire tournament under an ominous shadow of uncertainty. Would Mexico recover in time to host the world?
The outlook was grim. The logistics of staging a World Cup — even under normal conditions — demand meticulous preparation, financial stability, and public enthusiasm. In the aftermath of the earthquake, everything was in flux. Yet, to the amazement of many, the country rallied. None of the key stadiums sustained structural damage, and with an unyielding determination, Mexico pressed forward. In the face of unimaginable odds, the nation rebuilt not just its infrastructure but also its spirit, using the tournament as a beacon of hope and unity.
A Tournament of New Beginnings
The 1986 World Cup arrived not only as a triumph over adversity but also as an occasion for transformation within football itself. The tournament retained its 24-team format, divided into six groups of four, but with a crucial twist. FIFA introduced a Round of 16, allowing the top two teams from each group and the four best third-placed finishers to progress to the knockout stage. This decision added a fresh dimension to the competition, giving teams more opportunities to advance and raising the stakes early on.
The scars of the Austria-West Germany debacle at the 1982 World Cup — where pre-arranged results marred the sport’s integrity — prompted another important reform. FIFA decreed that the final two matches of each group be played simultaneously, ensuring that no team could manipulate outcomes with premeditated convenience. In this way, the lessons of the past shaped the future, bringing fairness back to the heart of the beautiful game.
On May 31, 1986, the World Cup began grandly at the Azteca Stadium, a venue that would later bear witness to some of the tournament’s most iconic moments. Against the backdrop of a dazzling opening ceremony, Mexico declared to the world that it was ready — not only to host football’s greatest spectacle but to write a new chapter of resilience.
The Global Contenders: Dreams and Disruptions
Expectations soared as football’s elite nations converged in Mexico. Brazil and France, perennial powerhouses, were widely tipped to clash in a dream final, epitomizing the best of European and South American football. The Soviet Union arrived with an impressive side, while Denmark captivated spectators with their fearless and free-flowing brand of football, earning them the affectionate nickname “Danish Dynamite.”
Yet, as is often the case, the World Cup did not unfold as neatly as the predictions suggested. The beauty of international tournaments lies in their unpredictability — where heroes are made and giants fall. The rhythm of the group stage, the intensity of knockout football, and the relentless pressure of the tournament all combined to produce moments of magic and heartbreak. Teams that entered as underdogs rose to the occasion, while others faltered under the weight of expectation.
Mexico 86: More Than Just Football
The 1986 World Cup became more than just a sporting event; it was a triumph of the human spirit. Mexico’s ability to overcome adversity and host the tournament against all odds was a testament to resilience and hope. For the footballing world, it represented the evolution of the sport, introducing structural changes that would define future tournaments. But for Mexico, it was a story of survival — a defiant statement that even in the face of catastrophe, life goes on, and the game must be played.
Through 90 minutes on the pitch, the world saw not only goals, passes, and victories but also the enduring power of recovery. Mexico’s World Cup wasn’t just about crowning a champion; it was about rediscovering joy, unity, and the strength to rebuild. And in the process, the country showed the world that the true essence of football lies not only in competition but in community.
This was Mexico’s World Cup — and it was unforgettable.
Argentina in Transition: A Nation and a Player Seeking Redemption
After the bitter failure of Espana ’82, Argentina’s football was at a crossroads. For the first time since 1974, a new manager took the helm of the national team — Carlos Bilardo, a tactician known as much for his pragmatism as his faith in bold decisions. In 1983, Bilardo travelled to Spain to meet Diego Maradona, who was recovering from a debilitating bout of hepatitis. During that visit, Bilardo extended an audacious offer: he wanted Maradona, then only 22 years old, to captain Argentina. Despite Maradona’s youth and turbulent career, Bilardo believed the future of the Albiceleste could be built around his mercurial genius. It was a gamble, but Bilardo wasn’t looking for a leader in the conventional sense — he was seeking an icon around whom a fragmented team and country could rally.
The road to the 1986 World Cup, however, was anything but smooth. Argentina’s performances during qualification were inconsistent, and their pre-tournament friendlies did little to inspire confidence. The squad was in disarray, and internal tensions boiled over at the worst possible moment. Daniel Passarella, Argentina’s 1978 World Cup-winning captain, refused to reconcile with his diminished role after Bilardo handed the armband to Maradona. Just days before the opening match against South Korea, Passarella walked out, leaving a gaping leadership vacuum. What should have been a smooth transition felt more like a rupture, and Argentina entered the tournament carrying the weight of unresolved conflicts.
On the home front, the emotional scars of the Falklands War defeat against the British in 1982 were still raw. The football team, long a source of national pride, had become a symbol of frustration. Neither fans nor pundits saw Argentina as contenders — not after the political humiliation abroad, nor with a squad that seemed more broken than unified. The expectations surrounding the team were low, and the hope that once accompanied Maradona’s rise was tempered by years of disappointment.
Maradona’s Personal Odyssey: From Chaos to Maturity
For Diego Maradona, this World Cup was more than just a tournament — it was an opportunity for redemption. His exit from the previous World Cup was sent off in disgrace after a reckless foul against Brazil in Barcelona, left a stain on his reputation. Worse still, his time at Barcelona was marked by turmoil rather than triumph. The demands of playing at an elite European club proved overwhelming. A serious bout of hepatitis sidelined him, and just as he was recovering, Andoni Goikoetxea’s infamous tackle shattered his ankle. The final straw came during the 1984 Copa del Rey final, where Maradona’s brawl with players and officials from Athletic Bilbao led to a chaotic, violent spectacle in front of the Spanish King. His time in Catalonia ended in shame, not glory.
The fallout was immediate, but it also opened a new door. In the summer of 1984, Napoli signed Maradona for a world-record fee of £6.9 million, offering him both an escape and a fresh start. Naples was a far cry from the glamour and intensity of Barcelona. It was the underbelly of Italian football — the birthplace of Catenaccio, a land of uncompromising defenders like Gaetano Scirea and home to Maradona’s nemesis, Claudio Gentile. Yet it was also a city that embraced him like no other. In Naples, Maradona wasn’t merely a footballer — he was a saviour, an adopted son in a city that saw itself as an outsider, much like him.
The love he received in southern Italy was transformative. For the first time in years, Maradona felt wanted, understood, and adored. In Naples, he found a stage where his genius was not only accepted but revered. That affection became the foundation for his growth. Maradona, once erratic and reckless, began to refine his craft and temper his emotions.
The volatile boy from Villa Fiorito was learning patience. His game became more controlled, his dribbling sharper, and his vision more precise. El Diego was still a player of passion, but now that passion was channelled, not wasted.
At Napoli, Maradona matured both as a player and as a man. The chaotic years in Barcelona, with their injuries and scandals, had shaped him — but it was the acceptance he found in Italy that allowed him to rise again. When Maradona arrived in Mexico for the 1986 World Cup, he was no longer just a talented but troubled star — he was a player with a mission. And for both himself and Argentina, this tournament would be their chance to rewrite history.
Argentina's Journey Begins with a Triumph: The Evolution of Maradona Unfolds
Placed in Group A alongside reigning champions Italy, the dangerous yet unpredictable Bulgaria, and debutants South Korea, Argentina’s campaign was clouded with uncertainty. Expectations were tempered, and given the turmoil in the squad, even their opening match carried an air of trepidation. With Bulgaria’s surprise draw against Italy in the tournament’s first game at the Azteca Stadium, Argentina knew that nothing would come easy. In a group as volatile as this, their morale — already fragile from past failures — would be put to the test right from the outset.
The Estadio Olímpico Universitario became the stage for Argentina’s first hurdle against South Korea, a side well aware of its limitations. From the outset, it was clear that their game plan revolved around neutralizing Maradona at all costs. The Koreans adopted a physical approach that bore a striking resemblance to Argentina’s ill-fated experiences at the 1982 World Cup: kick Maradona early, kick him often, and kick him hard. Whether he had the ball or not, they aimed to disrupt him — not only his rhythm but his spirit.
But this was no longer the impulsive Maradona of Barcelona. The Diego who had lashed out in frustration four years earlier was gone. Instead of reacting with hostility, he absorbed the hits and kept moving forward. It was the first visible sign that Maradona had matured — from a raw, volatile talent into a leader determined to carry his team through adversity. The boy had grown into a man, and with every tackle he shrugged off, Maradona announced that he was no longer a prisoner of his own emotions.
As the match wore on and Maradona refused to rise to the bait, the Korean tactics grew increasingly desperate. The fouls escalated into something more reminiscent of Taekwondo than football, with challenges flying higher up Maradona’s five-foot-six frame. It was a brutal welcome to the World Cup, but Maradona endured it with poise. Eventually, the referee intervened, awarding Argentina a free-kick just outside the Korean box, offering Maradona a rare moment of respite from the onslaught.
Maradona stood over the ball, calm and composed. With a precise delivery, he floated the ball into the box, where Jorge Valdano pounced to score Argentina’s opening goal. The relief on Maradona’s face was palpable. That goal was more than just a lead on the scoreboard; it was a symbolic cleansing of the ghosts of Spain — a moment that allowed Maradona to shed the weight of past failures and begin anew.
With the pressure lifted, Argentina grew into the game. Two more goals followed, sealing a 3-1 victory, and all three goals were crafted by Maradona’s brilliance. He didn’t need to score himself; his influence was felt in every pass, every assist, and every orchestrated attack. It was a performance that hinted at things to come — a display of creativity, control, and resilience that suggested Maradona was ready to lead, not just participate.
The victory over South Korea was more than just the first step in Argentina’s World Cup campaign. It was Maradona’s declaration to the world: he had learned, grown, and was ready to embrace the responsibility that Bilardo had placed on his shoulders. Argentina’s journey had begun, and at its heart was a transformed Diego Maradona — not just a player, but a man on a mission.
Conquering the Champions: Maradona Exorcises the Ghosts of Italy
At the Estadio Cuauhtemoc in Puebla, Diego Maradona stood face-to-face with an old adversary: the reigning World Champions, Italy. Four years earlier, in Espana 82, the Azzurri had shackled him, deploying the ruthless Claudio Gentile to mark him out of the game in a bruising 2-1 defeat. That bitter experience left Maradona humiliated and haunted. But in Puebla, there was no Gentile to torment him — through Fulvio Collovati, Gaetano Scirea, and Pietro Vierchowod were ready to reprise Italy’s tradition of tough, suffocating defence. Yet this time, Maradona was not the same impetuous youth they had subdued in Spain.
After his time with Napoli in Serie A, Maradona had learned the nuances of Italian football — the dark arts of man-marking, the relentless physicality, and the mental battles that came with it. In Italy, defenders played with a surgeon’s precision, but Maradona had adapted. He understood how to exploit gaps, draw players out of position, and drift between lines like a shadow — always elusive, always unpredictable.
The match began ominously for Argentina. Just six minutes in, Italy took the lead through a penalty, and for a brief moment, old fears seemed to resurface. Yet Maradona responded with the resolve of a man determined to rewrite history. This time, there would be no collapse. Rallying his teammates, Maradona shouldered the responsibility, dragging Argentina forward, step by step, as though the game were a personal duel between him and the ghosts of the past.
The Italians struggled to cope with him. Too quick, too clever, Maradona drifted between central positions, leaving Italy’s centre-backs in limbo — torn between tracking him and holding their line. His movement was unpredictable, an enigma that even the most seasoned Italian defenders couldn’t solve.
Then, in the 36th minute, the breakthrough came. Jorge Valdano clipped a delicate pass over the Italian backline, and Maradona surged into the inside-left channel, ghosting past the defence. Without breaking stride, he unleashed a stunning side-footed volley, guiding the ball with surgical precision into the far corner of the net.
It was a goal of sublime beauty — a moment that demanded not just talent but extraordinary technique and timing. The change of stride, the perfect connection at an awkward height, the effortless execution — it was the kind of finish that most players would not even attempt, let alone master. Maradona’s genius shone through, making the impossible look effortless.
His celebration was just as remarkable. Leaping over the pitch-side hoardings, Maradona wheeled away in jubilation, a display of athleticism as impressive as the goal itself. For a man of his stature — just five feet six inches— such a leap was a testament to his physical prowess and sheer joy. That single moment, born from his left foot and sealed by his soaring jump, banished the lingering memories of Spain and marked the emergence of a Maradona who would no longer be weighed down by the past.
Italy, meanwhile, was left stunned. The back-to-back draws — first with Bulgaria and now Argentina — bore an eerie resemblance to their sluggish start in Espana ’82. Many expected the Azzurri to recover, as they had done before, but those with a keen eye began to sense something different this time. The real story wasn’t about Italy’s stumble; it was about Maradona’s rise. His performance was a warning shot to the rest of the tournament: a genius in full flight could not be contained.
Sealing the Group with Authority
Argentina carried their momentum into the final group match, dispatching Bulgaria with a comfortable 2-0 victory. Maradona’s influence was again decisive. His vision and creativity unlocked the Bulgarian defence, setting up Argentina’s second goal with a precise, curling cross from the left flank. Jorge Burruchaga arrived on cue to finish the move, a goal that typified Maradona’s orchestration — one moment of brilliance, executed with grace and precision.
With the win, Argentina topped Group A, exuding confidence that had been absent just weeks earlier. Maradona’s presence was transforming the team, and the Albiceleste looked like a side growing into their potential with every game. Next, they would face a familiar foe in the Round of 16: Uruguay.
As the tournament progressed, it became clear that Argentina was no longer a team haunted by the past — they were now a side led by a man on a mission, a player whose brilliance could not be denied.
The magic of Maradona was only just beginning.
Argentina Breaks the Uruguay Jinx
The clash between Argentina and Uruguay is one of South America’s oldest football rivalries—an intense contest fueled by geography, history, and shared cultural pride. Separated only by the River Plate, these two nations have long used football as the ultimate stage for proving their superiority. The rivalry was born on the grandest platform: the first-ever World Cup final in 1930, where Uruguay defeated Argentina 4-2 in Montevideo, establishing themselves as the region’s football kings. Since that day, Argentina struggled to overcome their neighbours on the World Cup stage, haunted by the weight of history.
Now, in Mexico '86, Argentina entered their Round of 16 encounter with Uruguay desperate to break this jinx, knowing that this match represented more than just advancement. Uruguay, despite being bruised and humbled by Denmark in the group stage, brought their notorious brand of physical football—a style designed not just to disrupt opponents’ rhythm but to frustrate and mentally exhaust them. Argentina braced themselves for a grinding battle.
Football writer Stuart Horsfield later described the match as a “tense and scratchy affair, the occasion outweighing the performance.”
Both teams wrestled for control, with fouls and stoppages breaking the game’s flow. In fleeting moments, Argentina’s fluidity surfaced, offering glimpses of promise. Their breakthrough came just before halftime, a clinical strike to give them a 1-0 lead. It was a slender but significant advantage, and as the second half wore on, Diego Maradona became more dominant, his influence expanding like the shadow of a rising tide.
It wasn’t just Maradona’s skill that mesmerized—it was his balance and poise.
With every touch, he left defenders grasping at air, slipping away with a nonchalance that defied the rough, scrappy nature of the game. Deep into the second half, Maradona seemed to unlock the Uruguayan defence entirely, slipping through their lines and finding the back of the net. But the goal was disallowed, leaving Argentina’s lead precarious until the final whistle.
In the end, Argentina broke their World Cup curse against Uruguay, securing a hard-fought victory that carried symbolic weight. As the final whistle blew, they left behind the ghosts of past defeats. Waiting for them - next was England, setting the stage for a confrontation of not just sport, but politics, pride, and history.
England – A Conquest Written at Azteca
The backdrop to Argentina’s quarterfinal against England went far beyond football.
Four years earlier, the two nations had clashed not on a football pitch but on the battlefields of the Falkland Islands. The war, which began in April 1982 with Argentina’s invasion of the British-controlled islands, lasted 74 days and ended with Argentina’s surrender. 649 Argentine soldiers and 255 British troops lost their lives in a conflict that left wounds far deeper than territorial disputes.
When Argentina and England met at the Estadio Azteca, it was more than just a quarterfinal match—it was a symbolic showdown. For Diego Maradona, it was personal. As he would later admit, the match became his opportunity for revenge, not with rifles or warships, but with a football.
England, led by manager Sir Bobby Robson, entered the game riding a wave of revival after an early stumble against Portugal. Gary Lineker had spearheaded their resurgence, and Robson stuck to his familiar 4-4-2 formation, deploying Trevor Steven and Steve Hodge on the flanks to combat Argentina’s 3-5-1-1, built by coach Carlos Bilardo to give Maradona freedom in a roving, unshackled role.
The first half was a tense and tactical affair, with both sides probing but unable to find a breakthrough. Peter Beardsley had a chance for England, but it was Argentina who enjoyed more possession, asking more questions in the attacking third.
Then came the second half, which would deliver two moments etched forever in football history—one infamous, the other transcendent.
The Hand of God
Early in the second half, Maradona weaved his way through the English midfield, slipping past Glenn Hoddle and gliding into space. He sent a pass toward Jorge Valdano, then darted into the penalty box. As the ball awkwardly bounced off Steve Hodge’s foot, he instinctively tried to hook it back to his goalkeeper, Peter Shilton. But before Shilton could gather it, Maradona rose and, with a subtle punch of his left hand**, flicked the ball into the net - "The Hand of God" was born.
England's protests were immediate, but referee Ali Bin Nasser from Tunisia let the goal stand, unaware of the deception. As Maradona celebrated wildly, quick glances at the officials betrayed his anxiety, but the goal was confirmed.
"It went in a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God, "Maradona would later quip, immortalizing his act of cunning. The injustice stung, but the English players had no time to dwell.
The Goal of the Century
Minutes later, Maradona produced an act of brilliance so extraordinary it eclipsed the controversy of his earlier goal. Receiving the ball deep in his own half, Maradona evaded an onrushing defender with a quick pivot, turning toward the halfway line. From there, he accelerated, leaving Peter Reid trailing in his wake.
Dribbling at full speed, Maradona sliced through the English defence like a knife through water. Terry Butcher lunged but could only flail at the elusive No. 10, while Terry Fenwick, desperate to stop him, tried to foul Maradona without success. Bearing down on goal, Maradona glided past Shilton, as though the keeper were no more than an afterthought, before slotting the ball into the empty net.
Uruguayan commentator Victor Hugo Morales captured the moment with words that have become inseparable from the goal itself: "Cosmic Kite, which planet did you come from? Maradona, Maradona forever!"
It was a goal of staggering brilliance, a solo run unmatched in World Cup history—a masterpiece of speed, balance, vision, and audacity.
Aftermath and Legacy
Gary Lineker pulled one back for England, but Argentina held on to win 2-1. As the final whistle blew, it was clear that Maradona had written himself into the annals of football history, not just with his talent, but with the audacity to defy both the rules and the odds.
Sir Bobby Robson grudgingly admired Maradona’s genius, later saying, "I didn't like it, but I had to admire it." Even Lineker admitted, "That was the only time in my career I felt like applauding an opposing goal."
For Maradona, this game was more than just a football match—it was his personal triumph over adversity, history, and even justice itself. Argentina’s victory over England at the Azteca was a conquest—not just of a quarterfinal but of the narratives that had shaped both nations. And at the heart of it all stood Maradona, a genius with the ball, a trickster with his hand, and a man who would not be denied his place among the immortals.
End of Belgium Fairytale
Enzo Scifo reflected on the encounter with deep admiration and a sense of inevitability: “Maradona made the difference because Argentina weren’t having their best day—and neither were we. Having endured two consecutive extra-time battles, the physical toll weighed heavily on us. But in the end, Maradona dismantled us.”
His words capture more than just exhaustion; they point to the profound psychological impact of facing a player who transcended ordinary greatness. Scifo continued,“I faced many exceptional players throughout my career, but Maradona stood apart—not only for his unique style but for his ability to reshape the rhythm of a match with a single moment.” There is an implicit awe in Scifo’s account: Maradona was not just technically gifted but endowed with a rare and unsettling capacity to influence the flow of events on the pitch.
What sets Maradona’s brilliance apart, according to Scifo, is his dual mastery—artistry coupled with ruthless precision. “He had his own moves,” Scifo said, “but what made him extraordinary was his ability to be clinical. When others faltered or overcomplicated, Maradona remained composed, knowing exactly when to strike.” It wasn’t merely his flair that left opponents bewildered but his sheer mental acuity, the way he could sense and manipulate the decisive moments.
Scifo concluded with a sentiment shared by many: “How did he do it? That’s why everyone admired him. He possessed an intelligence that allowed him to alter the course of a game in an instant.”In these reflections, the Belgian midfielder articulates a deeper truth: Maradona’s genius lay not just in physical skill but in a profound, almost otherworldly understanding of football, transforming fleeting opportunities into moments of enduring brilliance. His ability to combine instinct with precision was not just admired—it was feared.
Hero Maradona: A Legacy Forged in Azteca
For the second consecutive World Cup final, Germany took the stage—this time under the stewardship of Franz Beckenbauer, who was orchestrating a transition for the national team. Injury setbacks and a lack of standout talent forced the Germans to rely on pragmatic, defensive tactics, hoping to exploit moments of transition. Beckenbauer had observed Maradona’s revolution in Mexico and deployed his most trusted lieutenant, Lothar Matthäus, to shadow the Argentine captain—much like Beckenbauer and Berti Vogts had neutralized Johan Cruyff in the 1974 final.
Matthäus executed his role with commendable precision, managing to contain Maradona more effectively than any other opponent in the tournament. Yet, by this point, Argentina’s confidence had grown to such heights that Maradona’s brilliance had infected the entire squad. The Albiceleste were no longer merely passengers in his orbit—they were ready to assume responsibility and etch their own moments into history.
The breakthrough came in the 23rd minute, when José Luis Brown, a symbol of resilience, headed Argentina into the lead, playing the remainder of the final with an injured shoulder—evoking shades of Beckenbauer's own heroics in the 1970 World Cup. When Jorge Valdano added a second in the 55th minute, finishing off a move initiated by Maradona and Hector Enrique, it seemed Argentina was on course for a comfortable victory.
But no script is complete without the resilience of the Germans. Their unyielding spirit reawakened echoes of the Miracle of Bern, and within seven frenetic minutes, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Rudi Völler had clawed their way back into the match, restoring parity with goals in the 74th and 81st minutes. Suddenly, Argentina’s grip on the World Cup was slipping, and the Azteca buzzed with the anticipation of a dramatic turnaround.
At this critical juncture, Maradona—hemmed in by Matthäus, marked relentlessly—summoned his genius once more. With nine minutes remaining, standing in the heart of midfield and surrounded by German shirts, he controlled a header from a teammate. In a flash of intuition that defied logic, Maradona played a pass into space—not to a specific player, but into a void that seemed to call out for destiny to intervene.
Jorge Burruchaga answered the call. Sprinting onto the perfectly weighted pass, he was pursued by the relentless Hans-Peter Briegel. Valdano followed closely, anticipating a cross, but Burruchaga had other ideas. As the goalkeeper Harald Schumacher rushed forward, the Argentine winger coolly slotted the ball past him, restoring Argentina’s lead with a goal that would become a defining moment of the final.
In the dying moments, with Germany throwing everything forward, Maradona showcased his defiant spirit once more. Embarking on a dazzling solo run that sliced through the heart of the German defence, he seemed destined to cap his tournament with another piece of magic. But this time, Schumacher and his defenders intervened, sending Maradona flying with a desperate tackle.
As the Brazilian referee Romualdo Arpi Filho blew the final whistle, Argentina's improbable journey was complete. A team dismissed as underdogs, led by a flawed yet transcendent genius, had silenced the doubters. Maradona’s brilliance—equal parts inspiration and improvisation—was the catalyst for Argentina’s triumph, his legacy forever woven into the tapestry of world football.
After Mexico ’86, Maradona’s influence would reverberate far beyond the tournament. He not only cemented his status as the finest footballer to emerge from Argentina but also reshaped the global perception of what a footballer could be—part magician, part warrior, wholly unforgettable. While comparisons with Pele would persist, Maradona’s greatness lay not merely in statistics or titles but in the raw emotion and artistry he brought to the game.
For Argentina, he was not just a hero; he was a symbol of defiance, resilience, and genius—their Maradona, an enduring legend whose magic transcended the confines of time.
