As a Belgian I was watching this game with friends in a bar. I must say I wasn't really depressed after that game, when being beaten by the world's best player in maybe his best game ever. And I should add that the whole Argentinian team was great that day, it was a pleasure to watch. RIP Diego.
he played also well against italy with a fantastic goal, was also fantastic against england with 2 fantastic goals. 😉
you should not be depressed (i understand you), you should be praud 2 watch him game!
Nowadays with the rules we have in soccer now after 15 mins every team playing against him has one or two players out of the game by faults .. i think
Belgim was so good in 1986 Deffencivly, some how after that in the 90s and 2000s i dont even remmber if they played in the world cup.
@@lovenlightman Yes (we)England knocked them out in 1990 they had a good side Enzo Scifo was class and they also qualified for the next 3 WC after that.
Melhor do mundo naquela época, pois o melhor de todos foi Pelé
He was running non-stop every match, giving all. Full of enthusiasm, energy, skills and SMILE. What a wonderful footballer.
And we have today’s silly footballers who think highly of themselves having scored couple of goals and paid millions. None of today’s footballers can tie Maradona shoe laces.
7:05 definition of a LEADER. Most people would be frustrated that their teammate missed a chance like that. But Diego clapped and motivated him.
People nowadays don't understand how great he was. He must have been so frustrated but he just kept being a true leader. He never had amazing players to play with but he just kept pushing them
@@gavinbrando8255 Great, you got it
cierto en el partido después la toco una pelota igual a baldano y anoto gol
me recuerda a cristiano
Plot twist: it was a sarcastic clap
Diego Armando Maradona; the greatest football player of past, present and future times that the universe has ever seen
As a Belgian it's painful to watch, but yet at the same time I feel blessed to have seen the best player ever in action. What an incredible talent.
I was 16 years old back than, I consider myself so lucky to watch maradona during his prime time.
lol... why watch a crackhead? 😂
I love Pfaff sportsmanship at the end of the game. Maradona scored him two goals, yet both are laughing and shaking hands w happiness
he was not on crack at that period in time and regardless, it does not take anything away from his skills as a football player. a lot of musicians did drugs even as early as the fities (e.g. Charlie Parker) it does not diminish them as artists.
@@1957PLATO well said
He made great effort to provide great passes to his teammates and he’d still clap for their failed attempts. True team leader!
We'll said
Exactly 👍
YES, thing that MESSI is not in so INCREDIBLE WAY.... And Messi never made so big SHOW in a World Cup, and not CHAMPION.
@@khispanoatlantico7044 Messi plays against tougher opponents these days! You can have now 11 players with 11 different nationalities! Like realmadrid in the 00s with cannavaro, carlos, Zidane, beckam, michatovic, figo and many more in one team! In those days you could only have three players with different nationalities at the time in a match! And Messi plays 20 years on the same level at the top while maradona had his ups and downs! And IF you looke at assists and goal average per game than messi scores double the statistics that Maradona has. Also messi holds nine or eight records! Also Messi stood 4 or 5 times in the finals with Argentina but Valdano and Caniga scored more than Aguero or Higuain for the national team AT a tournament! How often did aguero or higuain missed for open goal! Now I don't say Messi is better or Today's football players are more powerfull and more athletic but Statistics say nothing for one match or one year But says EVERTHING during your football career of 20 years! Do not forget that! Look it up Average per game and compare! I know that Messi scored more in Champions League but that is not fair! Messi plays more matches to reach the finals or scored more for Argentina becaus now you must play every country 2 times in south america to qualify for the world cup. That means you play 18 matches and maradona played 6 matches! SO we take ALL matches in career and devide them in all goals and assists! Messi scored 2 times more and 2 times more assists! All I want to say is be carefull to compare them!
@@redouancheikh6057 It is more about the hole Maradona life during his golden days. In the field Diego was a leader , Lio not that much. The heroe status of Maradona aplying his magic to kill dragons saving his nation etc is something unique. He plays against England after the war between Argentina and British, he played in a very small team and take it to the top, ask any Napolitan about Maradona. Messi is also unique, , for me not so visual but not less talented, anyway is not about wining and how manyu goals , is the style and the myth. The thing with Diego is how he was borned raised and praised, borned to play , recorded like a Big Brother of life. It was not only in the field, he was an international figure that every star wanted to meet, Gadafy for instance.
It's hard to believe he's gone..
RIP Sir Maradona. Love from Australia.
He was a machine against Belgium....great leader, super-fast, tireless, strong, resilient, always present and dangerous in offence, always present in defence, scored two amazing goals....he was not human that day....
Он был богом , нет ангелом !!!
EPHEDRYNE...
Absolutely stacked up on PEDs no doubt knowing him
@@tuboidexno he used only 82 and 94
@@candas10 🤣
Watching Maradona play football is like Poetry in motion. Always full of Passion.
And joys and charisma and skil and brain
too bad he snorted cocaine with the same level of passion.
Man this is so emotional to watch
Today's player pretend to die when they are simply touched
But see this man even after those hard tackle he gets up and run to get the ball without even looking to refeee
This shows his spirit toward the game and his nation
Hats up
Noone can ever reach your level sir❤❤🙏🙏🙏
You are the greatest player of all time
Thanks for your words. From Argentina. Look at Diego live in that game (with 13 years ...). It was unstoppable. Here is how God. Argentina never forgets Diego. Hero.
The only argument people have to defend Messi over Maradona is his stats. The sheer number of his goals. But stats have context. Did the bulk of his goals come in normal league games or in important finals? Did the bulk of his goals come against teams like Getafe and Osasuna or against Germany and Real Madrid? How did he perform in the big games? Was the team around him good or was he their only hope? Out of all the goals how many were penalties? Also the harshness of tackles and referees' indulgence? And then, of course, we have our eyes. And heart.
@@sid34193 Stats are modern b*llshit they don't win World Cups ,great players do
Did you say Neymar????
@@Youperode this one crack me up..haha
The funny thing is that a couple of months before his death they asked him what was his best match during that world cup. And he chose the one against Uruguay in the round of 16. This just shows how his performance in this tournament was the best ever and probably will remain unsurpassed.
Just the goat
He dominated the competition from A to Z
One Mozart, One Da Vinci, One Sinatra, One M.Jordan, ONE DIEGO.
And one Messi my friend !
Love it. He was an actual artist
@@christiandal4968 Messi won a world cup? Messi won 2 liga and Europa league with “getafe” ? Maradona is the GOAT
@@khalilfarid6086 Cruyff, Di Stefano, Platini and so many othe outstanding players also did NOT win any world cup. Maradona was a great player, among the top ten, maybe top five. Messi is the undisputed NUMBER ONE in the history of football. If you don't see it maybe you should choose another sport. Obviously football is not for you.
@@neimanmario your small opinion don’t change the history 😂 , Maradona
is football and football is maradona...This sport is not for you
This could be the highlights of a whole career... Diego did it in 90 minutes.
Unreal. Magic. Loved it absolutely
He was winning everything, tackling everywhere, running all the balls, it was like there is no other player on the pitch except him and opposition. The pass to him for first goam was awesome but overall this match is really the highlights of what he was and what he could be if he had stayed that way and not got involved in scandals. Rest in Peace Diego Armando Maradono.
Excelent
@@AliHassan-yw7dn yea a flawed legend. It’s especially hard on him because many other legends (Pelé,Messi,Ronaldo,Ronaldinho,Ronaldo) were not into drugs and were considered perfect.
But They all lack what Maradona had and that’s charisma/leadership
Unreal. The greatest 🙏
Apart from the quality,he was so tenacious and brave, absolutely fearless,in my humble opinion the greatest.
In Italia 90 his ankle was a mess,he lost a toenail and he still took Argentina to the final,I salute you Diego.
Italia 90 Argentina went to the final because of one and only person - most people won’t remember his name also - Sergio Goycochea.
100% Agree Total fearless, gave it everything he had, The skill level no one could match, but for me the bravery he showed was a equally impressive as his talent never showing weakness or backing down. A ture captain, RIP Diego
@@krch001 with all do respect, Maradona was the main reason why they got in the 90 final. Sergio G. was great .
@@krch001 the reason was, maradona in the match with brasil, goycochea and caniggia in the next matches
@@krch001 And most people won't remember that Goycochea wasn't even suppose to play in that World Cup, he was a back up when tournament started, I remember it well because I grew up in Soviet Union and USSR played Argentina when their main goalie (Pumpido) broke his leg and here came Goycochea and the rest is history... Who knows what would've happened if main goalie never got injured then...
El rey indiscutible del fútbol.
Saludos a todols los argentions desde Jartum, Sudan.
I have never seen any player dominate a game a that level like Maradona did. It was all about him. He was everywhere.
The World Cup 1986 was all about him
The day before he died I commented here on this Maradonas genius! Now 2 days after Im still in shock. Messi, Ronaldo, Zidane, Ibrahimovic - all brilliant, but all are schoolboys compared to him. RIP El Maestro
👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍 totalmente...D1OS!!!!
I disagree, for me him and Messi are the best ever, both are the best, but for different reasons.
@@EN_02 I’m talking about the whole package my friend. Maradona not only had incredible football skills, and football brain, he was a great motivating and inspirational leader. Messi doesn’t have natural leadership ability like Maradona had. Even Maradona criticised Messi for lack of leadership ability, character and influence.
@@Pulsonarmessis leadership and inspiration of Argentinas Copa America and World Cup winning sides was superb
the smile at the end says it all... how much he loved the game... Maradona - Truly a Legend.
You sum it up. He simply loved football more than anyine and had the talent and physicality to write a beautiful legacy
"Gracias a la pelota."
@Seeriousley like many geniuses he was very flawed but he truly ate, slept and breathed football. I watched Messi give up as Barcelona capitulated to Liverpool. No way Maradona would have given up nor allowed his team to lose heart in such a manner.
No wonder his heart failed him playing like this! RIP Maradona human and legend, from Sudan.
That and all the fouls he received, he could barely walk in his latest months of life. Being so great really costed him his life. RIP to the real GOAT.
Yeah it was this match 30 + years ago and not the over indulgence in his personal life. Nope.
Cocaine didn’t help either .
@@publicrelations9612😂😂😂😂😂
Agreed. I watched every WC since Mexico 1970. I have seen incredible performances from Jairzinho, Pele, Hagi, Bettega, Breitner, Cruyff, Resenbrik, Deyna, Lato, Baggio, Paolo Rossi, Scirea, Roberto Carlos, Falcao, Stoichov, Zico, Beckembauer, Muller, Kevin Keagan, Gascoigne, Cerezo, Kempes, Matthaeus, Rumenigge, etc, etc. This performance from Diego tops them all. I remember watching the match on direct broadcast that day in 86 and laughing while watching bc I couldn’t believe it.
Veo mundiales desde 1974 ... Vi a Cruyff, Zico .... Zidane, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho ...
Pero NADIE tenía el dominio de pelota que tuvo Diego ...😎👍🇦🇷
The best. The entire 1986 World Cup performance is unsurpassed.
God-like...
God certainly handed it to him...
I try to be honest and look at trees for what they are, rather than be over-owed by forests.
For me, the greatest players must play for the full 90 minutes, not confining themselves to brilliant flashes that bring goals and long rest periods in between.
They say that power corrupts, and so it does and in football there is another devil
. . . money. When a player has acquired enough money, he quite naturally starts to think that keeping his legs in one piece is more important than entertaining the fans and knowing that there are opponents who will kick him if he turns it on, for too many of the modern players lived on their reputations.
Stars such as Maradona, Cruyff (at his peak) and Eusebio (for most of his career), lived on their reputations. They are entitled to do that - if they can get away with it. But in my book too many stars today take little breaks, or in the case of Maradona long breaks; hiding in the midfield jungle, once their team is winning.
I want teams to try and entertain the fans for the whole 90 minutes and try and win 10-0 every time. That means that all 11 players on the park, have to do it for 90 minutes.
The fact that Maradona, Cruyff, Eusebio and many others today do not give 100 per cent for the whole game, is due to their manager’s lack of character and a general lack of discipline.
@@gunternetzer9621 That's right Maradona was no dummy.He was the best player from 1976 to 1988.Basically,unplayable from 1980 to 1988.He said it himself,that he plays for the biggest moments ,the world cup.After crowning himself in 86,he Knew everybody is outhere to chopped his legs off,knowing that u got to make that money to support family,he deservely took the pedal from the metal.Napoli went and got Careca and Alemao to compete with the ACMilan ,Inter and Juves of the world.Being the greatest magical playmaker was enough for him to win two scudettos ,really 3 if not for not playing the last 5 games of the 87-88 season,looks like a team from the North had to win it ,la Familia from the north .Oh Berlusconi,too much money is never enough.Otherwise it was a back to back for Napoli86 -88.He then did not train much,until again the 1990 world cup came around.He was ready to light up the world again but 1st game against Camerun,the hatchmen came out , ankle gone and lost a toe nail.Despite that at 50% on one leg,but because of being the greatest playmaker and unsurpassed vision with a limited team except for Cannigia,took Argentina to the Finals .Amazing accomplishment and deservely lost to Germany since Argentina was a shell of themselves and Germany was at their prime.Beating Brasil and then Italy was the end for the Greatest no 10 ever.(Pele is the greatest no9).].In 1994,past his prime but still the best player because again his playmaking ability and way of seeing the game,not because his physical condition ,Argentina were the favorites this time they were loaded with new blood upfront with Batistuta,Cannigia and Balboa and the greatest orchestrator in Maradona,but Fifa notice that and CiaoDiego no Mas u guys know the rest.All those records of 800 goals by Cristiano and Messi ,more less equate to 80 in the toughest and Best Serie A of the 80s and 90s.Onthe other hand,in today's commercial,non defense don't touch me football the Maradonas,VanBasten,Zico,Platini,Baggio Gullit,Klinsman,Matheus etc.They would be unplayable,it would be Goals Galore exponentially 7 to 0 each game at least.Those players might say to themselves gee this feels like we are playing 2nd or 3rd division teams.It is great for viewers ,great commercial business so let's keep rolling with it!.Not buying the hype just enjoying today's protective football,but children don't get carry away thinking the Messi or Cr 7 are all time best.
@@gunternetzer9621 fuckoff.
So many words, so much bullishit....
I will never forget that game, I was 11 and in Japan, something like 3 or 5 am. One of the best videos I have ever seen on UA-cam. Must really thank you for editing in his defensive efforts and his positive attitude everywhere. Absolutely moved. Wow.
He showed so much patience and support toward his teammates when they missed easy chances. True leadership.
You mean 7:10
The brilliance of Maradona is even more exceptional as the goal scoring capacity of the rest of the team was not up to the mark. What an amazing talent.RIP
I don`t even support a football club, never have, but Maradona is my hero with his Art on the pitch. I watched all 4 of his world cups . Watching every match was essential to me that Argentina played in . I didn`t want to miss anything he did. He is the only human being I have ever truly marveled at. I am English and even when he did the handball I didn`t care we went out. I still wanted them to continue in the tournament just to see him play another match.
I am not even a soccer lover prefer beisball except Maradona. He played the world stopped I had to watch since I watch him play in Barcelona on tv.
Thank you for saying that ,we hope England team would be the champion in 2022 World cup .From Japan and China
Thank you for your words I am from Argentina ..... and it makes me happy that being English you realize how talented and genius Maradona was ..... and thank you very much for the beatles
Si te gusta el futbol no hay vueltas.
Maradona es el futbol en su maxima exprecion.
Chasing everything. Creating everything. That is passion personified. All rounder player
I'm Belgian and remerber this game all to well. If Diego played for us we would have been the world's champion. As the matter a fact, any team Diego was playing for would have become the winner of the World Cup 1986. That's how exeptionaly good he was! Never seen any player even getting close to Maradona ever since...
Your reasoning is very stupid
My Belgian friend, you remember this game "all too well". (I could try to write something in French, but maybe you normally use Flemish).
I’m lucky to have witnessed messi and Ronaldo but I’ll tell u one thing, Maradona made me fall in love with football I wasn’t even alive when he played but my dad told me to watch his videos and I did and as soon as I watched that one video I forgot about Messi and Ronaldo. Maradona is the greatest athlete of all time. He had it all technique, speed ,skills ,freekicks ,freestyle,penalties, playmaking, assists , goals. And he did it with terrible teammates against the giants of his era. Simply the 🐐
Messi is regarded by many coaches as the best...
Maradona is much more than a soccer player, he was an artist on the field.
I watched from maradona era’s until today..
For me the 3 greatest players i’ve ever saw were Maradona, then Baggio and R9..
Those 3 were captivated me with their full set of skills & effortless technique they had..
I saw this live back in 86'...it remains the best match that I saw in my life time...
A wizard that created a blizzard that rampaged the Belgian Defense...
The joy, the smile in his face, the ambition, the spirit of the game...
All gathered to be embodied in one single man, mortal yet eternal...
Thank you for so much Diego
Yes I cry when I see how happy he was to show the effort in behalf of his teammates
i am cryinng in every movemetn . Diego Armando Maradona the best of the best of all times
Without UA-cam, camcorder or any recordings and playback devices to learn skills, just based on core feet, Maradona invented many movement that still relevant today. No doubt, the GOAT.
He was genuinely crazy, which is probably part of why he was so good.
agree, all genius have some kind of craziness
Diego bring tears in ones eyes may be because we will never see anything like him ever again.
he bring tears from the cocaine effect you dumbass.. 😂😂😂
I absolutely agree with you. I was in tears after watching the movie Diego Maradona (2019), last week. For some reason I too felt we won't see that good old Godly Diego again in this life. I empathize with you brother.
Same here brother
@@fightingforce8498 LOL relax you smarty pants ...
This is simply Maradona versus Belgium. What a phenomenon.
Argentina had a great team in 1986. Maradona had a great tournament playing on a great team.
@@bconni2 How can you call all the clear chances that Maradona provided and the strikers still managed to miss, a great team? Maradona in this game alone gave 3 passes that practically an 8 year old kid could score, they missed. The team wasn't terrible but they certainly weren't a great team. They were average no more no less.
@@skylerqt5550 Argentina always has quality players. 1986 was no different. Maradona had a great tournament, but was blessed to have very good players around him. put Maradona on the Bolivian national team and he doesn't even qualify for the WC and nobody knows who he is. it's a team sport, and your greatness only comes out when you have a great team around you.
@@bconni2 Loads of crap! Do you have eyes?
@@bconni2, keep crying, son.
The best performance of a player in a single match in the history of the World Cup
No one can match the spirit of D. Maradona
watched in 1986 as a young English boy ~ and so began my Love for Argentina 🇦🇷 gracias todos ❤
jay 13 I was an 11 year old English lad in 86. Hated him so much. But as the years have passed you feel so glad to have been alive to have appreciated his genius then
And I am an Argentine who admires British culture, music, literature, etc. I do not care about our governments and the war. We can be friends and live in peace. I love my country Argentina 🇦🇷💞 and admire Great Britain 🇬🇧.
Egyptian here - same result
Well said brother
R.I.P. Diego... ♥ From Belgium.
The debate about the GOAT is hot in its heels now but when you look at Diego play he was the most complete player ever at an era rules were different grounds were not up to the standards of today yet he played like magician pleasure to watch while present day players get fame from the game Diego brought fame to the game !❤️🇦🇷❤️🌍❤️🇱🇰❤️
The people of Naples got to see this every week. Unbelievable. RIP Diego.
His artistry, movement, vision,speed and strength were just incredible.
Even when Maradona wasn't scoring goals singlehandedly himself..He was creating chances all the time, and setting up other teammates to take advantage of these chances, and score a goal for themselves...
Of course, he was a playmaker & team leader, not a striker,and he often scored in spectacular fashion which was deliberated, he kick the ball in a certain way looking for an effect. One proper beast of the game, the best ever.
He is like a machine. Never gets tired.
A unique genius with enormous personality and leadership. The most completer player in the history of football even with his cocaine addiction. Imagine a young Maradona playing in polished pitches and with all the protection of this new generation of players.
He would first have had to forsake the drugs. The tragedy of Maradona is not what he was, but what he could've been. People say: 'He loved the game so much.' If that's the case, why didn't he get rehabilitation and play it clean? He could've won 3 WC's had he cleaned up his act.
My god, that man was tenacious. So much fight in him.
The best football player of all time and for ever. Not at all lazy, very combative in both attack and defense, really very rare nowadays, especially since the guy is a real magician with a great technique, without having a big head. Very good performance and very good team spirit, a real champion and a real leader, Impressive and breathtaking !!! Respect and hats off, Mr. Maradona.
Stars such as Maradona, Cruyff (at his peak) and Eusebio (for most of his career), lived on their reputations. They are entitled to do that - if they can get away with it.

Scotland loves you forever Diego
Most talented player ever by far.
And yet people compare Messi to Maradona because of stats. There are no stats to measure a man's spirit.
Mike Rochac fr man, Messi is too OP
Or in this case, their love for coke
Mike Rochac Maradona stepped up in big matches, didn’t score many goals but was always giving assists and creating chances especially in big games
Rene Villeda Yeah that’s why he never won a European Cup , how did he always key word always step up in big games ? 1982 World Cup did nothing , 1990 World Cup final did nothing , 1994 World Cup sent home for cheating , 1 Spanish Cup , 1 Italian Cup , two Italian leagues , 1 Uefa Cup , he was a phenomenal player no doubt but Messi has been far far more consistent there’s not even an argument there .
Eric Cartman far more consistent playing with world class players on every position! Don’t even try to compare the teammates is so unfair it’s silly! If Messi went from Barca to Fiorentina and then won the Serie A that would be the equall of what Maradona did with Napoli! And yes, give Maradona: Aguero, Di Maria, Mascherano etc and he would have won the world cup quite easy! This is an teamgame after all and Messi had waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more help then Maradona ever did and still couldn’t win with Argentina....
Magician, legend, the ball seems attached to his two legs by invisible elastic band, rest in peace, you will be missed.
Something going on with those legs. He seemed to hit any angle. Fantastic
You know you're getting old when you can remember watching this game as a teenager.
This was 34 years ago and I've never seen a more gifted player since then. For me, the most gifted footballer of all time, who achieved more in his short life than most people ever do.
#Genius #Master #Magician
A player made of sheer will. Not just for his technic, style of playing or attacking performance. He fought relentlessly almost for every inch and for every ball. It was a great joy to watch him play. Both at 1986 and even today. RIP Master.
Oh man.
See his passing.
His brain works like computer in football.
To be honest he genuine out side football too . What he say about Messi ? Don’t have much character .. isn’t true ??
no computer can reach him
Computers don't have this much soul
What he accomplished in 86 was not human. The greatest ever.
Maradona was the greatest, he played and made the whole team play, when his teammates did not score, he did it and on top of that he helped defend, a true monster
I remember watching this live as a 13 year old. I have not seen a better performance by a player in one match ever.
There will never be someone like him again.....Never. Winning the world cup with a team that couldnt even go past through the group stages but with maradona winning the freaking tournament. Damn what a force of nature.
Football not sooccer argentina was a beast at 1986 thanks to maradona they could play beautyful football together wasn’t all maradona and in 1978 they won the World Cup without maradona at all but with kempes argentina for my opinion is the 3 biggest national on football after Brazil and netherland
@@Xh1920 I think You are esagerated

@@michaelfusmusic9447 you know, at that time the centre backs were used to fucking destroys your legs so dribbling like a dancer wasn't that useful at all

Thank you brother...you say in a few words what most people say in a whole paragraph...to tell you the truth, even Pèle doesn’t come even close to Maradona ‘s greatness
too bad he didn't have the drive and work ethic of CR7 or Messi. imagine how much longer of a career he would have had if he had self control over his demons
The passes are so beautiful
Un líder, un ganador. La esencia misma del fútbol más allá de la camiseta. La sonrisa en su cara disfrutando del fútbol en su máxima expresión. Maradona representa el espíritu del fútbol de aquel amateur que juega en el patio de su casa al super profesional...
Never seen anything like him... He had the power of German Panzer but with the matching spirit of Soviet T-34. One man army, absolutely outstanding
power of crack you mean?
fighting force, as a person is not a example but as a football player he is one of the best if not the best. And this World Cup was his peak performance.
@@joseibanez227 bullshit. you dumbass.
To think people compare him with barcelona's little ice cube...

How old r u kid?
The best player ever .. rest in peace Diego.
As a Belgian I was living in Canada at the time. None of a zillion channels showed the semi-finals of the world cup! So we had to rely on phone calls. With a grim face my dad announced the 1-0 and then the 2-0. Little did I know the great story behind this game. RIP Diego, for me the best player ever.
Rest in peace champ. Your legacy will live on for years to come.
Those who has seen foot ball in their life can't hate him, only love him.
He s unstoppable.
Unless you are English. He was great but, you know...
He was a force of nature.
The greatest sportsman in my lifetime anyway. RIP Maradona.
No sportsman - the greatest ever footballer - Alfredo Di Stefano.
While Maradona’s private life after his peak career time could be considered a kind of mess,no one could deny that he was a gifted talent in football and impressed all soccer audience in the 80s to 90s era. He deserved being named King of Soccer.
In very rare occasions an individual becomes bigger than the sports. Maradona is one of them. Football and all the football fans will always remain indebted to this sheer impossible genius. It's those rare phenomenons when a player forces you to love the game.
He is beautiful, like an art
An artist mate, just beautiful
Creative & beauty
Nobody is like him in todays age. If someone wants to debate,first watch this video.
That must be the the greatest performance in a WC semi final ever. Incredible. I was 13 at the time & was mesmerised by the man. To be two up & STILL to tackle, fight, defend etc shows the difference between him & the modern player who would have been subbed off, or who would have protected themselves for the final. It was possibly not just the different rules (tackle from behind), the worse pitches, the tougher defenders, the more lenient referees etc etc that caused El Diego to get so many injuries, but his own 'fight to the death' bronca attitude as well. LEGEND. A football GOD.
Modern players would have roasted these defenders...are you kidding me..sure they were tougher but no coordination, no organization, no tactics, nothing..great players would be great in any generation! Fact.
Sriram Cariappa lmao modern day players are robots that cant tackle
@@memoresto3480 no they aren't allowed to tackle. the refs favor towards the forwards these days. any slight contact its a foul. those days they continued playing.
@@CS-sv8fg modern players will be out of WCup, injured before it starts, they can't take any hard tackle at all
Shitty defending admit it
Was Maradona's performance in this tournament the epitome of football brilliance? I've had this feeling since 86.
The King of football excellent control over the ball rolling and passing never do back passes like others do always take the ball ahead of the opponent without any hesitation.A great player ever seen can single handed lead the team.
Pure will. Pure Spirit. Pure heart. Thats about real football. There is no numbers or stats to explain that.
And talent ofc.
Never a player, did nothing like that in a World Cup, and never will. Maradona 86, is like Usain Bolt in the Olimpic Games.
Only R9 come close a little bit, after 2 years of being injured scoring 8 goals.
@@Hunfootball yea with Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Carlos, Cafu, Denilson around him. R9 is great but it is different story
Pele actually put on the best individual display at the 1970 FIFA world cup ever. But hey Maradonna's heroics at the 1986 world cup are still awesome
@@signposts6189 i watched that wc and indeed he was amazing,but the whole brazil side was simply incresible.i think maradona in 86 and garrincha in 62 were the best individual performances in world cup history
Zidane in 06?
How great was Maradona in World Cup 86?
7 games,
5 goals
5 assist
90 dribbles
53 fouls against
Attempted/created 52% of team chances.
That's how great he was in that World Cup. It's fair to say he won the world cup almost single handedly
same process : Italy won 1982 world cup with dino Zoff
france won 1998 with zidane
Bresil won 1970 with pele ( rivelino , jairzinho, gerson , tostao , carlos alberto were unknown before 1970 , they were known after playing with Pele and they didn't win anything without pele )
@@tlemmontcanaque9594 Pele wasn't even the best player in his own Brazil team nor did he win the best player trophy when they won the world cup.
@@skylerqt5550 Pele was the best in 1970 ...please let me know who was better than him ? Football is not tennis , it's 11 against 11 not one against one .
Trophy , wins , etc are fo the team , Pique from barca won more than Messi .
best player , and other things are made by medias , journalists ....not official trophies.
and we can also say that Messi won the south america cup .... Maradona never did .
Maradona is brilliance, determination, athleticism, sportsmanship, and will power.
Playmaking attacking defending fighting for every ball ... best ever
Won the cup on his own
I wouldnt say he won it on his own but without him argentina doesnt win the cup
No, hi did not win on his own. Watching this you can realize that he had a team behind him. Normal team, but a team after all...
power of crack?
On his own lmao
Having a bunch a wankers missing open nets is not "a team"
Won it by himself. Greatest ever.
I felt the same way. I saw this game when I was 12 and I still think it’s the best and thought this was the best 90 mins ever played by a player.
4:50, 4 againts 1,pure balance, really hard,, he was like ninja
Simplesmente, gênio......🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I didn't get to watch Diego's brilliance on the field but damn! Was he a Maverick! Hats off
Just had to say a few words....Maradona playing against England in 1981 was the first time I saw him and it was just so exciting. Everytime he touched the ball, you just felt something magical was going to happen. 1986 will always be to me the single greatest performance by a player in a major tournament. The reason was because how weak or average the rest of the Argentinian team was. He carried that team to victory. I also consider training methods, sports medicine, condition of pitches, sports technology i.e. boots, balls. If he played today with some self control, just no telling how much better he would have been. RIP The King
El Diego siempre ponía huevo con esta camiseta. Por eso siempre estará en mí corazón. Me pone la piel de gallina ver a un jugador sacrificarse así por su país
There is only one super star in football, Diego Maradona!
Without question the greatest footballer ever you name it he could do it .Skill from another dimension
A Son of Argentina, but also a Gift for all Mankind! RIP KING DIEGO GOAT!
One thing that sticks out for me is how much he actually defended! So many opportunities created from almost nothing just by the will to defend. Amazing!
@@SeeriousleyYes..he would definitely die if thats required to win a match. And see that workrate. He loved the ball and ball loved him more,never wanted to leave him. Does everything from scoring, creating to tackling and interceptions. It's so stupid to compare him to any player who ever played. There is one God in football and that's Diego. No one never will be like him
Maravilhoso, grande Diego! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏👏🙋♂️
Que felicidad nos dio a los latinoamericanos. Un saludo desde El Salvador
Gracias Leo ! Saludos desde Argentina. ;)
Un saludo hermano salvadoreño
Saludos desde Argentina amigo!

There are two types of footballer:
1. Maradona
2. Other footballers
Just for 4 seasons!
@@amooolusina6978 Better to have lived as a lion for one day... than to have lived 100 years as a sheep!
@@Hic_Rhodus just listen to yourself!!
Maradona is a nobody!!
Ronaldinho achieved more than him in Football!!
John Mikel Obi>>>>>>>Maradona in the UCL History!!
Just an Argentine Griezman with Futsal skills!!
Compare Maradona to Griezman, not to Messi or Pele!!
Too much Disrespect
Cocaine Effect!!
@@amooolusina6978 Time to take your pills Amoo.🤣 Nobody cares what some angry crank types in the youtube comments section with lots of exclamation marks!!!!! !!!! !! !!!! !!! !!! !!! !! Maradona was voted the greatest ever in Fifa's poll. Millions of football fans, who actually are old enough to see him play, think that he is still the greatest ever. And tens of the greatest players like Zidane, Zico, Canavaro, Zola, Cantona.... and on and on... up to and including Messi himself.... have said, on record, that they think that no one will ever be as great as Maradona. So if you think after all that, some nobody in youtube's comment section will suddenly change everyone's mind... you're a little bit unstable. 😆
@Truth Seeker Maradona said that Messi was a goat too but ok.
Que buen video, saludos desde México. Maradona es el mejor de la historia, tuve el privilegio de verlo desde el mundial juvenil del 79, y cuando se retiró se fué lo mejor del fútbol, ninguno como Diego Armando Maradona
El segundo que gol tan espectacular y el primero es el gesto del Arquero de Belgica al cambiar la camiseta con Maradona y emocionado de haber conocido al mas grande de todos los tiempos y tener el honor de haber recibido 2 goles suyos. Eterno diego no te vi jugar pero para mi eres el mejor de toda la historia.
si Messi tuviera la mitad de los huevos de Maradona .. serian campeones otra vez....
@@chevellealone6500 Bueno... no se si... en fin... supongo que, en una de esas... quizás se haya enterado... dum di dum...
@@chevellealone6500. Se ve que 1/2 de huevos tiene.
@@chevellealone6500 por suerte tuvimos a di maria
Football is a team sport....
But when Maradona is in one Team, then he plays alone. REST IN PEACE LEGEND... WE WILL REMEMBER YOU ALWAYS.
This could be arguably one of the greatest individual performance ever in the World Cup.
Two goals, quality pass, a lot of fouls taken, leadership.
Genio del fútbol mundial !
Con un puño apretado!!!
Siempre garra.....
Gran jugador!!!!
Zurdo en la cancha y en la vida !!!!!
Gracias por las alegrías!!!!
Gracias por existir!!!
Mito. Leyenda eterna!!!!!
What a workrate! Chasing back, strong in the tackle, not just waiting for the ball to be given to him.
He played on a field were the ball bounced constantly. Today's players play on a golf course. If you ever played football on a field like that, you'll understand how hard is to control the ball with all that bouncing. I think that's one of the reasons why Messi and Crsitiano have scored so many goals.
Also, defenders today are not allowed to systematically foul talented stars.
and you also forgot the substitution of the FIFA ball after 1997 (immediately the speed record from R. Carlos)
@milin milin I also think that compare players from different decades is kind of unfair. Things change drastically in a couple of years, imagine Pelé that played like 50 years before Messi and Ronaldo.
@@JohnANimo-me4br
that's why football is less exiting today... you don't watch this level today.
the minimum contact and players goes to the ground crying.
Football matches look more exciting back then or is that Maradona..?
The ball was his friend, life was his enemy!
R.I.P. Diegito...
This sums up Diego maradona...
La sua generosità in ogni contrasto, la sua caparbietà, la sua magia di disegnare il calcio... Immenso e immortale!
Diego Armando has asked to write on his grave
" Thanks to the ball " we can tell him thank you for everything . You were a genius.
