  • 19 YEAR OLD DIEGO MARADONA - UNBELIEVABLE PERFORMANCE VS ENGLAND is a highlights compilation of Maradona's every touch, skills, and tricks against England played in 1980 at Wembley. Having just won the 1979 World Youth Championships in Tokyo, Maradona arrived in England as the "South American Player of the Year", and facing off against Ballon d' Or winner Kevin Keegan, Maradona put on the kind of stunning performance that not only enthralled the Wembley crowd, but featured a tantalizing preview of the "Goal of the Century" that he would famously score six years later in Mexico against the English.
    In this digital age where the achievements of yesterday's football greats are far too often easily forgotten, or worse dismissed as being somewhat inferior to those of today's so-called "megastars" and "G.O.A.Ts.", this footage is a timely reminder that Maradona's God given talent with the ball remains unsurpassed. At nineteen, this teenage prodigy was already orchestrating and dictating matches beyond the capabilities of his World Cup winning comrades, and those of the opposing seasoned international English players. So just enjoy the show.

    Maradona told a story that after he missed the goal in the pile up shown at 3:20, his brother told him that he should have dribbled the goalie. Years later he remembered it and in fact dribbled the goalie when he scored against England in Mexico.

    I vividly remember watching this with my Dad as a football mad 13 yr old. All these English defenders were my heroes and he completely shocked with his touch and twice ripping them apart with stunning speed and control. For some reason they left out of these highlights of how he won a penalty by dribbling past 3 of them in the second half or was that another game from earlier? Anyway his touch is the greatest ever, his affinity with the ball and for anyone here saying he kept losing the ball I’d say the defenders in those days were violent in their tackling.. this is Wembley, he was trying things. He’s still streets ahead in every respect and most of contributions are exceptional. I’ve watched Pele, Best and all the rest and they all lost the ball plenty. All I can say is for the time Maradona made our jaws drop as we’d never seen anything like it before. That run in the first half where he shaved the post was literally a total lightning bolt from out of this world. I still remember the feeling of seeing this all these years later and started to think I’d dreamed it… thanks so much for posting

    When you look at some of those assaults on Maradona by the England players - how many would have been reds today? - you get a glimpse of how dangerous the game was for skillful dangermen at that time. They didn´t have the protection the likes of Messi and Modric enjoy today; brutal tackles were allowed. And the best players got injured, a lot. That was the environment in which Maradona played almost his whole career. Mostly in the country that considered defensive football an art form. And still at only 19, he is already mesmerising. Dynamic. Like a coiled spring. Floating over the turf, while others flounder. At one with the ball. Gliding past desperate defenders, at speed, with the ball seemingly glued to his magical left foot. Just poetry in motion.

      Only if Maradona was able to keep his focus at the right place and had longevity, then he would have been the GOAT.

      @@VelhaGuardaTricolor I also regard Pele as the most complete player of all time since he had no weakness. But remember Pele was very professional and really looked after himself like Messi/CR7. While Maradona did not look after himself in the same way . Sometimes he would not train for days and train the day before the game.
      Besides that Maradona performed in tougher circumstances, like he never played in an extremely strong team like Pele did for Brazil and Messi did with Barcelona.
      I personally feel Maradona would have achieved more than Pele and Messi if he used his time wisely after he became a sensation in Napoli.
      But it's Maradona's own fault that he did not use the time wisely and he has only himself to blame.
      As things stands now, and if we take into consideration everything: achievements, completeness, natural talent and longevity. Then Pele would win the debate. Messi at number 2 and Maradona at 3.

      Both geniuses in their own way.
      Both gods of the sport we love.
      I don't take into account who won the most. Because we are talking team sport.
      But I strongly disagree when you suggest Pelé looked after himself unlike Maradona, bc Pelé won the World Cup age 17.
      Also when you talk about performing under pressure, I don't see how Pelé can not be regarded as the most clutch player ever, maybe tied with other greats, but if winning the World Cup age 17 isn't dealing well with pressure, I don't know what is.
      Messi choked a lot for Argentina and Maradona lost a World Cup Final.
      So.... I don't see them being better under-pressure at all. Unless I am forgetting something.
      Pelé played in an ERA where bellow the NECK everything was SHIN. He had a stronger body than the other two but that is just about it.

    Diego Armando Maradona was on another plane altogether and from another galaxy. His skills had a fluidity that was magical, other-worldly. His charisma and command of the entire field of play were unmatched. His fighting spirit was not to be toyed with-Diego feared no one. Jorge Valdano called him a “Napoleonic” presence and I think that says it very well. All praise to Lionel Messi, who has justly scaled the heights of the sport, and whose career achievements (I have to recognize) have surpassed Diego’s. I admire Messi and have grown to love him as a player, a leader, and a person. But Diego remains, to my mind and in my heart, quite simply and beyond any serious debate, The Greatest.

    Many years after this, he spoke about the move at 03:20, when he beat a few players then hit the ball with the outside of his foot and sent it wide by a very small margin. Had this same move in mind when he took again a few England players in 1986, then cut inside instead of hitting the ball, the end result being that a goal was scored( unlike here in the aforementioned move).

Pele had the same instinct , the time he dummied the Uruguayan keeper , watch how he speeds up just before he doesn;t touch the ball , or took a shot from the half way line , he missed on both occasions but the temerity and self belief is still staggering 50 years on.

      foules comunes. mucha habilidad maradona, regates de lujo, pero tomaba bastantes malas decisiones en el juego. muy empecinado en regatear y no habilita como corresponde a sus compañeros en varias oportunidades. ahi radica una gran diferencia con leo messi a favor de leo.

      @@pedrobello1371 estás hablando de un Maradona de 19 años! A esa edad, Messi, era un puro individualista y le faltaba todo lo que Maradona traía de serie a excepción del dribling, la velocidad y los movimientos (más rápidos que Diego), pero Maradona ya jugaba de otra manera que a Messi le costó unos cuantos años: armador, pase, balón parado, creador de juego. Esas características las fue puliendo Messi. Maradona le pegaba al balón a los 17 que a los 35. Maradona no tenía margen de mejora en lo futbolístico, sino en la maduración del jugador, como todos.

    He is my era so i am biased, i admit that but i still think he is the greatest player to ever live. What he did on terrible pitches with ferocious tackling being allowed is beyond anything I have seen other great players like messi, neymar etc do. There is a magic about Diego that is hard to describe. And he was a peoples champion, he loved the people, he cared about them, he was connected. There are many reasons but for me, he stands alone at the top.

      I saw this as a boy in the BBC highlights programme that night with my Dad and I can tell you honestly it was unbelievable. We had literally never seen anyone close to this and he made everyone’s jaw hit the floor. Remember these defenders were the best in the world at the time and he sliced through them a few times with such speed and control people thought he came from another realm… the future. They don’t show how he won a penalty in the second half by going past 3 of the best defenders in the worlds best league as if they didn’t exist. Nobody had EVER seen Phil Thompson or kenny Samson look like heavy legged old men before never mind both of them with one move! Everything has context. This was unbelievable and left an impression on me that I still remember and I still talk about. Maradona in Wembley aged 19
