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
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 🙏
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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 🤣
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
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....
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 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
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
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...
Diego Armando Maradona; the greatest football player of past, present and future times that the universe has ever seen
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..
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.
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....
It's hard to believe he's gone..
RIP Sir Maradona. Love from Australia.
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😂😂😂😂😂
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
Wosterc 1 nah I don’t think so

@@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 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
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 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
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.
Love him or hate him, he was the best all round footballer the World has ever seen.Fact.(and that's coming from an England fan)
alan bane you must really detest periods.
Bensun 77 I’d say that he’s the most dominant footballer ever during his prime (‘84-91). But Messi has been better for longer overall. It took diego a while to get going and there was a steep drop off in form in his 30s.
No he wasn't, he was Second, Pelé was the best, period!
Gondolin let’s not do this again. First of all, the false confidence of “period” in your sentence is just silly. This is one of the greatest debates in sports and we aren’t going to settle it any time soon. You won’t be the person - out of the entire internet - that provides the definitive answer.
Second of all, Pele’s club career wasn’t nearly as distinguished as Maradona’s or Messi’s. Like it or not, European clubs were head and shoulders ahead of Brazil back then and still are today. Just because Brazil had a dominant national team doesn’t mean they had a strong league. A national team is 11 players. A league is 16-19 teams. That’s less than one great player per team. And many of Brazil’s nationals were pele’s teammates at Santos.
@@SKa-tt9nm Well, i guess you know little about football, to say European clubs were ahead of brazilian at that time? Lol you've got to be kidding me, well, It is expected anyway, tou europeans are arrogant and know shit about south american football anyway other than little curiosities (we brazilians, on the other way around know a lot about European football and football here on South America). No, European clubs weren't better than South American football back than, in fact South American Clubs were BETTER for decades, so much so that when European clubs faced Brazilian ir argentinian clubs for example, they were almost always beaten (either in club world competitions or any kind of competition at all) and it remained as such until the 90's when European clubs began to earn a lot of money from their competitions and began to build team with international stars in the their ranks (If we had that kind of money, we would do the same and even better) and Just for curiosity sake, i'm a historian and i'll tell you a little bit of History: did you know that the Champions League was inspired by continental competitions that happened here on South America back in the 1950's, probably you don't! That was tô begin with, now we'll talk about Pelé himself, his club career wasn't as distinguished? 1960's Santos was the best team in the whole world, they won the Copa Libertadores (SA's main continental competitions) 2 times and beat EUROPEAN clubs both times in the international competition, First one was Eusebio's Benfica, Santos massacred them and after that, they defeated Milan, one of the best teams in the world at that time, Pelé received offers from all European clubs at that time and he rejected them all and did you know why? Because Santos was the best team in the world at that time, better than all.european clubs, why the fuck would he play in Europe? Maradona never won main continental competitions, neither in Europe, nor South America (only an Europa League equivalent with Napoli), world cups? Maradona has one, Pelé has THREE! Goals? Pelé has much more! So pay attention to not being anachronic saying "European football was better", no It wan't, It was weaker! It has being as such since late 90's and that's because of the money, we'd do the same with with that much quid in our pockets, since you are what you are today because tou buy Young star players all over the world, specially us brazilians! What would you be today without South American players? Makes me laugh... And we are 5 times Champions of the world, world Record, England is one, and because you played at home, lol!
No one can match the spirit of D. Maradona
Without CZcams, 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.
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.
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

no computer can reach him

R.I.P. Diego... ♥ From Belgium.
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
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 !❤️🇦🇷❤️🌍❤️🇱🇰❤️
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.
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.

@@fightingforce8498 LOL relax you smarty pants ...
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.
He is like a machine. Never gets tired.

Was Maradona's performance in this tournament the epitome of football brilliance? I've had this feeling since 86.
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
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.

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.
Messi???
His comment was before Qatar 2022. It's interesting to see what the difference that winning Qatar 2022 makes for Lionel Messi.@@UriosEditz
Messi is a great footballer. But Maradona was and will always be the undisputed king of football. Rip Diego.
the GOAT is CR7. not Messi, not Maradona.
@@bconni2 lol what?
@@bconni2 ahahahahahahahahahahahah
@@bconni2 Lol
@@bconni2 lol i would love to see cr7 to play with a team like napoli to see if he will win any sliverware.
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.
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...
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 CZcams. Must really thank you for editing in his defensive efforts and his positive attitude everywhere. Absolutely moved. Wow.
The people of Naples got to see this every week. Unbelievable. RIP Diego.
I remember watching this live as a 13 year old. I have not seen a better performance by a player in one match ever.
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
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.
It'll be a long, long, time until we see a player even remotely close to Diego, in ability again. That's if that ever happens. The man was just one of a kind! R.I.P Diego and thanks for the memories! D10S ⚽🇦🇷⚽🇦🇷⚽🇦🇷⚽
🇦🇷🏆🇦🇷🏆🇦🇷🏆
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
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.
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.
Scotland loves you forever Diego
Most talented player ever by far.
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.
The best player in history
It is unfair to compare any player to him
Nah i saw so many games like this one performed by Messi
@@BeastMode-gf6bx on a world cup?
Messi is better
moroccan Warriors better choker 😂
Messi will never reach maradona level, never..
That’s the difference the one who play with all his heart (maradona) and the other who play for fame and money (messi)
Messi was and will never be better or reach maradona level, never..
BeastMode against little team, on low stages..
Messi always sunk on world cup 😂
No mentality he is, just flashy player with poor mentality
A football artist at the height of his powers...RIP Diego
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 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.
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.
His artistry, movement, vision,speed and strength were just incredible.
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?
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.
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 .
My god, that man was tenacious. So much fight in him.
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
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
The passes are so beautiful
07:02 In addition to the incredible goals, passes, dribbles and tackles featured in this video, I noticed his reaction to his teammate's bad miss here - instead of expressing frustration for missing out on a great assist (like most big stars today would), he applauded and urged them to keep going to keep morale up. That's true leadership. Despite his talent and self-confidence, he ALWAYS put the team first - there are many examples of him making a great solo run with a chance to score a historical goal similar to the one against England, but in the end he chose to pass because his teammate was in a slightly better position to finish.
I saw that too. Great comment Boutros. I just finish watching a Netflix series of the time Maradona came to rescue a 2nd division team in Mexico. They were last place, hey put them on the finals. But we can see how he encourage his players when they couldn't believe in their self.
The way he would care for each player was oustanding.
The greates soccer player and champion!
That was 2 years ago as a coach of the Dorados from Culiacan Mexico
@@manuelrivera5848 Cheers, will check it out. Recommendations for docuseries are always welcome during this time. If you haven't watched the documentary The Two Escobars from 2010 (ESPN 30 For 30), I highly recommend it.
Sure Boutros I will look for it. Thanks. Right this minute I am watching Maradona Confidential from National Geographic.
You wise
When you see Maradona’s teammates missing his beautiful passes you feel disgusted from Messi’s fanboys saying that his teammates are bad.
Still his teammates better than messi teammates look at final vs Jermany
So Dimaria Aguero Higuain romero Mascherano are average players? Lol they are star players
barca dog strikes again
@@AbCdEf-hr2ki you call Higauin and Aguero is big players

What this video shows is how bad defenders were back then...
Haha typical Madrid fan, makes it about messi and how his fans can't complain for him having shit teammates
4:50, 4 againts 1,pure balance, really hard,, he was like ninja
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...
Charisma
Soul
Leadership
Balls
Character
...things that Diego had in excess and Messi will not have in ten lives.

Pure will. Pure Spirit. Pure heart. Thats about real football. There is no numbers or stats to explain that.
And talent ofc.
WTF is this!? Dribbling like Ronaldo (the real one, the Brazilian), passing like Zidane and defending like Maldini!
this is art of football
What?He was the Best football player EVER, he was DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA, "el 10", el inmortal.
Yeah that's called a definition of perfection. Synonymous of maradona
who is the fat ronldo ?
The real Ronaldo is CR7, the one who is the UCL top scorer and top assister and is about to become the international and the all time top scorer. R9 was good but not that good.
Football players can come and go but a football artist like Diego Maradona is one and only.
34 years ago, I still cry 😢, thanks D10S!!!!
I was there on top behind the goal where Maradona scored the two goals with Belgium and also the two goals against England.
And in the final Burruchaga goal that gave us the trophy..needless to say best vacation ever..
No player in the history of all WC dominated as much as Diego Maradona in 86
You are so lucky to witness football history live
did you record it?
Never has there been a world cup such dominated by the influences of one man. My father swears hes never seen a better player than Diego Armando Maradona. In 86 world cup, Argentina scored 14 goals in the tournament and 5 were assisted by Maradona and another 5 scored by Maradona. I am a messi fan, but hes no maradona. He has the skills but the mentality, the drive I dont know - he seems weak from outside whereas maradona against those english defenders, the pitch and the stage - he performed.
No doubt his second goal was the best in history because it was so much more than just a football match. It was the history that the both countries had and just to imagine, that a player like Maradona did the 2 most audacious thing against the English just seems unfathomable.
He scored with his hand that no one saw, only a defender I believe but it was so cunning, so devious and quick I think the english players only suspected maradona couldn't have jumped that high over shilton therefore protested.
and the second one goal- well nothing has to be said about that. It's genius. In front of 120,000 fans in Aztec stadium. Just to think, that if maradona had got sent off after the first goal, there would have been no maradona's second goal and who knows? maybe even the post great Napoli Maradona would have never been as great.
People fails to realise that Maradona is not great just for his world cup heroic but also what he did in Napoli. With that group of players and that squad, they still haven't won Seria A since he left. He's a god figure - I doubt ronado or messi would go to a mid table team and drag them to being league champions in probably the toughest league at that time.
It was just meant to be. Even I admit that.
@@nepaliguy6537 Diego was the ultimate one man team for Argentina and Napoli
@@xxxs8309 i feel like its disrespectful to talk about GOAT
One of FIDEL CASTRO'S FRIENDS. LONG LIVE THE NAME OF EL COMMANDANTE
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..?

" Thanks to the ball " we can tell him thank you for everything . You were a genius.
