For those of us who grew up watching legendary football stars develop their careers and win world cups, we've woken up to the ugly news that one of those stars has passed away at 60. He is Diego Armando Maradona, "el Diego", "el Pelusa", "el Barrilete Cosmico" or whatever you want to call him by his dozens of other nicknames. A world champion with the Argentine national team in the Mexico 86 World Cup after a disputed final against West Germany that always made people talk for his unbridled behavior and accentuated addictions.

Despite his questionable political vision in supporting tyrants of various countries, including Cuba, Bolivia and Venezuela, he gave us great shows doing the best he knew how to do, playing football and scoring legendary goals like the ones I will present below, both in the same game against England in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, so those who do not know him will be able to know who this iconic character was for Argentina, South America and the world in general.

The first goal against England, literally hand in hand with Maradona. The fact that he used his hand to push the ball and thus give the advantage to his team caused great controversy, as well as the fact that later on he accepted it and was given his own terminology instead of repudiation for having cheated. .

This goal was characterized as "the best goal in the world", and was the second against England in that same match that ended 2-1 in favor of Argentina.
Today is a day of mourning for world football and especially for Argentina, a country whose culture is based on football, giving the world all-time star players such as Alfredo Di Stéfano, Mario Kempes, Gabriel Omar Batistuta, Javier Mascherano and Lionel Messi.
