Maradona passed away on November 2020 at the age of 60. He had been battling health issues and underwent emergency surgery for a subdural hematoma. Reports from Argentina claimed that Maradona suffered a cardiac arrest due to which he died.

One of the greatest players of all time, Maradona was captain when Argentina won the 1986 World Cup, producing a series of sublime individual performances.

A magician with the ball – deceptively quick and a visionary passer – Maradona is considered by some as the greatest soccer player ever, edging out that other great, Brazil’s Pele. In Argentina, he was worshipped as ‘El Dios’ – The God – partly a play on words on his number 10 shirt, ‘El Diez.’
