Looking at Serie A with the players they had in it back then is why some people would argue Maradona was the greatest of all time. To shine in a League full of star players and to play for a team like Napoli who were never really in contention to win anything until his arrival shows his greatness.
Peter West exactly my point. Messi and Ronaldo played with the generational talents at superclubs in Barca and Madrid. Maradona played against the generational talents and for a pariah club such as Napoli..
Being old enough to watch both Messi and Maradona, despite less goals, Maradona was a more all round player with a greater range of abilities, more of a team player. His impact on every team he played for was unbelievable, most so with unfashionable Napoli against a league of superstars. Messi played with the superstars, albeit he was arguably the best of his era

Don't forget Inter Milan still have Alessandro Altobelli. Napoli also have Dani Bertoni (they scored on 1982 & 1978 World Cup final). Then Aldo Serena (Torino), Pietro Paolo Virdis (AC Milan), Beppe Giannini and Robby Pruzzo (Roma), young Ciro Ferrara (Napoli), young "future star" Michael Laudrup & Giordano (Lazio, sensationally relegated on Serie-B). Then young Vialli-Mancini (Sampdoria) was exist, even Trevor Francis the winner of 2 European Cup with Nottingham was there. Don't forget greatest CB on 80's is play (Franco Baresi), Mauro Tasotti, Ray Wilkins, Agostino di Bartolomei (ex. Roman Prince) was play on AC Milan.

Idk where u lot are getting your information from, platini was top goalscorer with 18 goals, Altobelli was 2nd with 17 and Maradona was 3rd with 14. Zico only scored 3 times that season in the 15 games he played... (The season before he had a much better tally in the serie a of 19 goals)
@@ruairiose7335 Yeah, that's why a humble Roma with 1/10 of the budget reached the semi-final against Liverpool and was cut-off by the referee who validated 2 irregular goals for Liverpool and didn't give a penalty to Rome. What about Juventus who reached the UCL final 2 times in the last 5 years?

That’s basically the world top 25 stars at the time maybe except one or two. Never has a league possessed so many talents , though the serie-a was always packed with stars in the 80s
I'd like to add an honourable mention for the great Giancarlo Antognoni at Fiorentina. He was a wonderful player - Italy's 'regista' in the 1982 World Cup wining side - but broke his leg badly against Sampdoria in 1984, as a result of which he only returned to play a final few games for la Viola at the end of the 1984-85 season. Glorious at his best.
This is pure gold...thank you for another time..always and forever love 80's.. and its true,maybe the best season with 89-90 season in serie A. Best Hugs from Greece
The player that kicked the ball with his head while the ball in goalies hand is Boniek , one of the best polish player in history and one of the best of time.
The owner of Juventus (Agnelli) used to call him "bello di notte" that means "beautiful at night" because he used to do great performances in the Champions league that was played at night, while Serie A at the time was only played in the afternoon
I envy the people who could witness the Italian Serie A in those years, I can imagine the whole country paralized the previous days of a Juventus-Milan, Juventus-Inter, Juventus-Napoli or Napoli-Milan. Plus even the middle teams had great stars like Roma had Falcao, Udinese had Zico or Fiorentina had Passarella. Let alone that tickets in that time were affordable by ordinary working class people to go every weekend to watch their teams, whereas now going to a football match can be nearly a luxury.
I always wanted to live in Italy. Can you imagine the simple, glorious paradise of a Sunday in Italy? Go to church with your family, go to the stadium to watch the world’s finest footballers, sing and enjoy with fellow strangers, then return home to good food and company, and work hard until you get to repeat this ritual next weekend. I envy Italians.
Goosebumps! The now mythical Serie A. As a Finn I learned Italian while reading La Gazzetta hello Sport a few times a week during my university days in the early 90s. We always got the paper a day late into the few stores that carried it here in Helsinki so I often didn't know how the Sunday league matches had ended until the following Tuesday. Welcome to a world pre-internet...! Still, it was fab. It was fun. Even though I only ever saw one Serie A match live on TV; the one between Sampdoria and Inter in May '91, with Samp winning and eventually winning the Scudetto that season. I was happy about that!
I was a kid, I saw them all! Maradona, Platini, Rummenigge, Socrates, Zico, Falcao, Junior, Ancelotti, Rossi, Edinho, Boniek, Passarella ... The best years of football in Italy.
No league has ever come close to Serie A from the 80's to the late 90's. Superstars in every team. Even the likes of Batistuta, Hagi, and Effenberg stayed in Serie B in the mid nineties lol. Imagine that happening now.
Serie A in the late 80's to 1995 prior of Bosman law was the NBA of football so far, the strongest and hardest one ever I have seen where one of the best Top 3 teams in the history and very sadly moments as a Real Madrid fan was born: AC Milan. I am 55years old and i started to watch football since the 70's with Johan Cruiff and that Ajax that made me feel in love with this sport, I am RM fan and i was suffering all the time when we played against AC Milan, it was impossible to beat them, i really enjoy Marco Van Basten so so much, but not just him, Rijkaard,Baresi or Platini was in that list, my fav team there was Inter Milan with the German tryinity, I was so fan of Matthaus, what a player!!! From 1995 La Liga from Spain reigned in the world so far as a league and all those trophies that our teams were achieved since there: Real Madrid of Capello with Raul,Suker,Mijatovic or Hierro. Super Depor since 1992 to 2000, Valencia 2000-04, Barsa, Sevilla, ATM, Los Galacticos with Ronaldo,Zidane,Figo,Roberto Carlos, Pep Team, Real Madrid of the 4 Champions with CR7,Ramos,Modric or Benzema. For me the Serie A was the best before Bosman law and the most genuine before everything changed. Viva Italia y Arriba Espana! Italy and Spain: Mediterrean rules.
La mejor liga de todos los tiempos yo soy español y nuestra liga también fue fuerte siempre sobre todo a finales de los 90 y principios del 2000 pero como la liga italiana en los 80 90 no habido nada ni la premier de hoy
The good thing about those times is that big clubs weren't so insanely stacked with the best players in the world as they are today, which left lots of great players for the smaller clubs. In those times Juventus, Milan, Inter, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, etc... would only have 3 or 4 great stars, the other players would typically be just good or average players. That allowed for teams like Udinese to have Zico and Carnevale, Fiorentina to have Socrates and Passarella, Verona to have Elkjaer Larsen and Briegel, Sampdoria to have Vierchowod, Mancini, Vialli and Souness, and so on, so talent was more evenly distributed. In that way small teams could actually challenge the big teams. These days all of those players would be in the big 3, some of them even on the bench, and small teams have to manage with the leftovers. Let's not even talk about Maradona, today a player like him would be in either Real Madrid or Barcelona, not a chance that he'd play for a team like Napoli. Personally, I miss those time when the difference between big and small teams was not so brutal as it is today.
True what you say but I would implore you to watch a documentary called 'bring me the head of Maradona'. He chose to leave Barca because he didn't want to play for a big "rich people" club. He picked Napoli because at that time they were a poor club.
It's the people who played back then who fucked up football as we know today. Platini and others who joined UEFA and FIFA. They made it big corrupted business.
It was a show. Udinese, Fiorentina, Verona, Juvr, Inter Milan, sampdora, roma, Torino etc... all teams had superstars and it was very competitive you could enjoy any game. It was sort of like NBA of 90s.
The English league has always been the most competitive. English teams were the last European country to enter European club football and they still have the most teams that have won that have the European cup/champions league.
Yea, so.why are you here?. You are off topic. Go watch your english useless long balls on SkySports. English football is in a draught, 1966 World Cup.is their best achievemsnt with help of Tofik Bahramov. And thanks to COVId we saw that english champ.league final.

Great video. It's like sensory overload. Brings back good memories of watching it with my Dad. I started following Serie A regularly in 92 but I was vaguely aware as a little kid of all the greats that were there before + was already obsessed with it by Italia '90. I can see why people don't want Serie A to flourish again as the potential is huge!
What a splendid video. So many historical greats in one league. While english football might be the new face of football, and tikitaka is the new phenomenon of tactics, Serie A and Italian football is the real DNA of football. To be successful in Serie A is to be worthy of greatness. When italian football is `healthy´ it reflects on all aspects of football. You got tactics, discipline, bravado, drama, scandals and talents. As a spectator and a fan they make you feel like you are playing with them. Highly tactical and defensive, any player who makes it in Serie A can make it in almost all other leagues. Most of the greats have played in Italy. Thank you for this awsome video 👍
Minute 2.20-2.30 Elkjaer scores a goal against Juventus kicking the ball with right leg without wearing the shoe. He lost it moments before while tackling the defender. Take a look carefully!
Champions Cup only became interesting in the 90's, look at finalists from the 70's and 80's, lots of smaller club. In fact Winners Cup often got more big clubs competed in it.
ah, when Serie A was king... for a 15 year period from the early to mid 1980's to the late 1990's it was the best domestic league in Europe with the best players and it was also probably the most competitive with plenty of clubs competing for championships and cups and European glory --> Falcao's Roma, Platini's Juventus, Maradona's Napoli, Inter Milan with their German trio, Arrigo Sacchi's Milan, Sampdoria with an attack of Mancini and Vialli, Milan made 3 straight Champions League finals in the 90's as did Juventus, Lazio won European trophies in the 1990's as did Fiorentina and Parma, Inter won 3 UEFA Cups in the 1990's etc... a great time to be a fan... a great video, as always

Cannot imagine seeing a league with much talents evenly shared between different teams nowadays.

@@ruairiose7335 Yeah, that's why a humble Roma with 1/10 of the budget reached the semi-final against Liverpool and was cut-off by the referee who validated 2 irregular goals for Liverpool and didn't give a penalty to Rome. What about Juventus who reached the UCL final 2 times in the last 5 years?

We have soft leagues now
That’s basically the world top 25 stars at the time maybe except one or two. Never has a league possessed so many talents , though the serie-a was always packed with stars in the 80s
I'd like to add an honourable mention for the great Giancarlo Antognoni at Fiorentina. He was a wonderful player - Italy's 'regista' in the 1982 World Cup wining side - but broke his leg badly against Sampdoria in 1984, as a result of which he only returned to play a final few games for la Viola at the end of the 1984-85 season. Glorious at his best.
And he missed the 82 WC Final.

Giancarlo Is for Fiorentina what Totti is for Roma ❤️
This is pure gold...thank you for another time..always and forever love 80's.. and its true,maybe the best season with 89-90 season in serie A. Best Hugs from Greece

The player that kicked the ball with his head while the ball in goalies hand is Boniek , one of the best polish player in history and one of the best of time.
The owner of Juventus (Agnelli) used to call him "bello di notte" that means "beautiful at night" because he used to do great performances in the Champions league that was played at night, while Serie A at the time was only played in the afternoon

Absolutely incredible.
I envy the people who could witness the Italian Serie A in those years, I can imagine the whole country paralized the previous days of a Juventus-Milan, Juventus-Inter, Juventus-Napoli or Napoli-Milan. Plus even the middle teams had great stars like Roma had Falcao, Udinese had Zico or Fiorentina had Passarella.
Let alone that tickets in that time were affordable by ordinary working class people to go every weekend to watch their teams, whereas now going to a football match can be nearly a luxury.
I always wanted to live in Italy. Can you imagine the simple, glorious paradise of a Sunday in Italy? Go to church with your family, go to the stadium to watch the world’s finest footballers, sing and enjoy with fellow strangers, then return home to good food and company, and work hard until you get to repeat this ritual next weekend. I envy Italians.
Goosebumps! The now mythical Serie A.
As a Finn I learned Italian while reading La Gazzetta hello Sport a few times a week during my university days in the early 90s. We always got the paper a day late into the few stores that carried it here in Helsinki so I often didn't know how the Sunday league matches had ended until the following Tuesday. Welcome to a world pre-internet...! Still, it was fab. It was fun. Even though I only ever saw one Serie A match live on TV; the one between Sampdoria and Inter in May '91, with Samp winning and eventually winning the Scudetto that season. I was happy about that!
You must have a very high IQ to have learned Italian that way.
Onore a te, fratello.
I was a kid, I saw them all! Maradona, Platini, Rummenigge, Socrates, Zico, Falcao, Junior, Ancelotti, Rossi, Edinho, Boniek, Passarella ... The best years of football in Italy.
No league has ever come close to Serie A from the 80's to the late 90's. Superstars in every team. Even the likes of Batistuta, Hagi, and Effenberg stayed in Serie B in the mid nineties lol. Imagine that happening now.
I saw Maradona..i cry..RIP Maestro🌹
Serie A in the late 80's to 1995 prior of Bosman law was the NBA of football so far, the strongest and hardest one ever I have seen where one of the best Top 3 teams in the history and very sadly moments as a Real Madrid fan was born: AC Milan. I am 55years old and i started to watch football since the 70's with Johan Cruiff and that Ajax that made me feel in love with this sport, I am RM fan and i was suffering all the time when we played against AC Milan, it was impossible to beat them, i really enjoy Marco Van Basten so so much, but not just him, Rijkaard,Baresi or Platini was in that list, my fav team there was Inter Milan with the German tryinity, I was so fan of Matthaus, what a player!!!
From 1995 La Liga from Spain reigned in the world so far as a league and all those trophies that our teams were achieved since there: Real Madrid of Capello with Raul,Suker,Mijatovic or Hierro. Super Depor since 1992 to 2000, Valencia 2000-04, Barsa, Sevilla, ATM, Los Galacticos with Ronaldo,Zidane,Figo,Roberto Carlos, Pep Team, Real Madrid of the 4 Champions with CR7,Ramos,Modric or Benzema.
For me the Serie A was the best before Bosman law and the most genuine before everything changed. Viva Italia y Arriba Espana!
Italy and Spain: Mediterrean rules.
So True the bosman low destroy thet football.

@sonice228 agreed
this was crazy, such class in every team big and small, calcio was a galaxy.
Just think Zico was playing for Udinese, I think I don’t have to add nothing more
La mejor liga de todos los tiempos yo soy español y nuestra liga también fue fuerte siempre sobre todo a finales de los 90 y principios del 2000 pero como la liga italiana en los 80 90 no habido nada ni la premier de hoy
The good thing about those times is that big clubs weren't so insanely stacked with the best players in the world as they are today, which left lots of great players for the smaller clubs.
In those times Juventus, Milan, Inter, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, etc... would only have 3 or 4 great stars, the other players would typically be just good or average players. That allowed for teams like Udinese to have Zico and Carnevale, Fiorentina to have Socrates and Passarella, Verona to have Elkjaer Larsen and Briegel, Sampdoria to have Vierchowod, Mancini, Vialli and Souness, and so on, so talent was more evenly distributed. In that way small teams could actually challenge the big teams.
These days all of those players would be in the big 3, some of them even on the bench, and small teams have to manage with the leftovers. Let's not even talk about Maradona, today a player like him would be in either Real Madrid or Barcelona, not a chance that he'd play for a team like Napoli.
Personally, I miss those time when the difference between big and small teams was not so brutal as it is today.
Bravo 👏 , exactly
3 foreigner rule helped too
True what you say but I would implore you to watch a documentary called 'bring me the head of Maradona'.
He chose to leave Barca because he didn't want to play for a big "rich people" club. He picked Napoli because at that time they were a poor club.
I think you meant Liverpool. Man U were a midtable club during this time.
It's the people who played back then who fucked up football as we know today. Platini and others who joined UEFA and FIFA. They made it big corrupted business.
We'll never see something like this again. So many stars and competitive teams around
Extraordinary defense, tactics, creativity and goals...
The good old days, when everyone loved Football ⚽️
Championnat magnifique, stars fantastiques, maillots sublimes!! Grazie Italia
It was a show. Udinese, Fiorentina, Verona, Juvr, Inter Milan, sampdora, roma, Torino etc... all teams had superstars and it was very competitive you could enjoy any game. It was sort of like NBA of 90s.
The English league has always been the most competitive. English teams were the last European country to enter European club football and they still have the most teams that have won that have the European cup/champions league.
The premier league is the best league in the world now without a shadow of a doubt. Competition wise and player wise.

Great video. It's like sensory overload. Brings back good memories of watching it with my Dad. I started following Serie A regularly in 92 but I was vaguely aware as a little kid of all the greats that were there before + was already obsessed with it by Italia '90. I can see why people don't want Serie A to flourish again as the potential is huge!
What a splendid video.
So many historical greats in one league.
While english football might be the new face of football, and tikitaka is the new phenomenon of tactics, Serie A and Italian football is the real DNA of football. To be successful in Serie A is to be worthy of greatness. When italian football is `healthy´ it reflects on all aspects of football. You got tactics, discipline, bravado, drama, scandals and talents. As a spectator and a fan they make you feel like you are playing with them. Highly tactical and defensive, any player who makes it in Serie A can make it in almost all other leagues. Most of the greats have played in Italy.
Thank you for this awsome video 👍
