Maradona: The Tragic Genius
Everybody knows the name Diego Armando Maradona.
The man of great achievements, beautiful dribbles, and numerous challenges. He overcame the odds to rise above everyone else in the world of Football, but at what cost. There is always two sides to the Maradona story. A story on the pitch, and another one off of it.
This is the story of Maradona, and how he added his eternal mark on Football.
From his beginnings with Argentinos Juniors and Boca Juniors, to his challenging and tough stint with Barcelona in Spain. From his international struggles in the 1982 World Cup, to his triumph and rise to the Football summit after the 1986 World Cup. From his highs and lows at Napoli and the 1990 World Cup, to his drug problems and doping test failures later on in his career.
All of this and much more will be discussed in this long episode.

CRISTIANO RONALDO THE TRUE GOAT 🇵🇹 🐐 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Eu sou brasileiro.E acompanhei a trajetória desse jogador,desde 74 com 8 anos.Fiquei triste desse gênio do futebol não ter ido a copa de 78 na Argentina.Tenho a idade de Romário.Romario disse que Cruyff era um excelente treinador e um craque do seu tempo.Eu acho John Cruyff o maior jogador europeu de todos os tempos.Foi uma pena a Holanda de 74 e 78 não ter sido campeã mundial daquele torneio!
I think the time for making an episode of the arsenal invincibles season has come 😁 Thank you
I didn’t know Cristiano Ronaldo’s beginnings leading to his becoming famous, but I always wanted to be one of those stars that he is, so I cheer for him because I mostly have to do things on my own to get success without help, and only one parent pays for my school expenses, and that one parent didn't have much to depend on while going to university.
"Arsenal were acostumed to be runner's up" 😂😂😂 sounds familiar.
Free Palestine!!!
lehmann is the greatest gk arsenal ever had
I think in strictly in terms of WC success the 1970 tournament was like the all-star world cup, especially with the added bonus of a 3rd-time winner keeping the trophy. The final KO stage saw all 3 double world champions in the semifinals with the last semifinalist being the winner of the QF which had the only 2 other champions in history. It's fitting that Brazil won by beating it's 2 other competitors for the treble in the SF and F.
Something you have to destroy to rebuild it I still believe Eric ten hag will do it for United again
Love this last dance esque style. This could easily have been a 2-3 hr documentary. Phenomenal work
My deepest heartfelt condolences n RIP
the younger generation fans should watch this especially the pre 1992 yeara can see similliarity with what eth is doing now
One day this documentary will be completed with a victory!COYG
1:12:50 may God rest his soul. We saw glimpses of his absolute best, but what he gave us ordinary fans is the joy of football. And I am not an Argentina fan in any stretch of the imagination. But Maradona embodied everything about the country of Argentina, and that why he is worshiped in his homeland and football fans all over the world. For that, we cant thank "El Dios" enough.
56:24 Asif Kapadia documentary on Diego Maradona's fall in Napoli really made me cry. When Maradona narrated, "When I came to Napoli, I was greeted by thousands. When I left, I was alone." You could feel how hurt he was.
I never got to see Diego live, but he is incredible. A true rebel in every sense and I did not even know that he was the one who pioneered the concept of personal trainer, media officer, etc. Mexico 86 will always be his zenith, but what he did with Napoli was just as impressive. He took a club that no history of winning and made them into champions both in Italy and in Europe. And back then the UEFA Cup was really competitive with the 2nd and 3rd placed teams in the leagues going to the UEFA Cup.
Thanks you for saying something about Gazan genocide. My respect towards you 📈
Where did he do so plz?
Best player of All time.
"FINALLY CRISTIANO HAS ARRIVED"
I love the football
Van Gaal was actually a great manager, he just had awful prense in Spain and couldnt handle Rivaldo loocker room situation that well
Watching this video and realised he have only 2-3 season left to close his career 😢
Huge failure
1 champions League in 5 years, that wouldve a success for every other club lol
It's Jorge Mendes, not Horhe Mendes. No one in Portugal 🇵🇹 is named Horhe.
Grande presidente.
7:34 Vitória de Setúbal with the best UCR in 72/73 Europa League!!🟢⚪🟢⚪🟢
Arsen Wenger 5 goals a game
Love the title. Pun intended I should say. And I never knew Cruyff played with Gullit.
you forgot the main factor PEOPLE / NETWORK / EXPOSURE.....there are many like ronaldos but everyone dont make it...(marketing)
' Came as a star , left as a star ' - Sir Alex Ferguson

Maradona my love
42:48 I think at that point people knew it was not going to be Milan's night. I still cant believe Schevchenko missed that chance.
42:12 People now try to mock Jamie Carragher, but that guy had a heart of a lion. He was never the most talented but people forget how industrious he was nowadays because everyone nowadays is a stats merchant.
The 2005 Champions League final is the greatest Champions League final of all time. It might very well be the greatest European Cup final of all time as well.
35:30 what a pair of legendary semifinals. And what a miss from Eider Gudjohnssen 🤦🤦
We need part 2 ronaldo enters madrid
Hopefully come June 1, Real will win its 15th UEFA title - Hala Madrid!
Beautiful documentary . Maradona always number 1
How I wish I could go back to May 1993
Did you about the 7 0f the October 2023
AUPA ATLETI ♥️🇵🇰
Cruyff was his mentor!
Roma was the true definition of never give up.
Cant wait for Part II
The master, the provocateur and the architect. There will be never another like Johan Cruyff.
Pleeaaaseee when is part 2 😭😭
The time and effort gone into this is crazy.and we get to watch it for free?thank you very much
I see and hear and see Metal Gear Solid references Nice touch 👌🏼👌🏼
