Diego Maradona

Huge crowds bade a grief-filled adieu on Nov. 26 to Argentina's favorite son Diego Maradona before he was buried on the outskirts of the capital after a farewell that at times descended into chaos.

As darkness fell, the football legend was laid to rest after a ceremony attended by family and close friends in the leafy surrounds of the Bella Vista cemetery outside Buenos Aires.

Diego Maradona, the Argentine soccer great who scored the "Hand of God" goal in 1986 and led his country to that year's World Cup title before later struggling with cocaine use and obesity, has died. He was 60.

How will the second lockdown affect the business? Former football national Radostin Kishishev, who is currently president of the Burgas "Chernomorets" FC, will close the doors of his family restaurant for the second time, like many others in the industry.

Millions of fans paid tribute and Argentina was sent into mourning on Nov. 25 as Diego Maradona, one of the greatest footballers of all time, died aged 60 after years of drug and alcohol problems.

He had just turned 60 recently.

The news comes from Argentina, a cold shower for the world of football. Diego Armando Maradona, who had turned 60 on 30th of October has passed away.

A cardiac arrest was fatal for him in his home in Tigre, a neighborhood in Buenos Aires, where he had retired two weeks ago after a brain operation. 

Diego Maradona greeted a new film about his life with scorn on May 20, telling people not to see it when it is released next month.

Real Madrid's leader Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed the FIFA Best Footballer prize for the second time, given to the best player for the year 2017. The Portuguese beat the competition of Lionel Messi and Neymar and received the prize from the hands of the "Phenomenon" Ronaldo, Diego Maradona and Gianni Infantino.

A standing dispute among football fans across the world is which goal was better: Argentina’s Diego Maradona second goal against England in the 1996 World Cup or Barcelona’s Leo Messi against Getafe in the Spanish Primera Division. Both were almost identical in their sheer brilliance, which why it so hard to separate them. But maybe one more contender has been added to the list.

Fans of the beautiful game will have a chance to peruse memorabilia from around the world of football with a new exhibition, "Goal!," at the Zorlu PSM.

Argentine soccer great Diego Maradona has decided to stand as a candidate for the FIFA presidency to replace Sepp Blatter, Uruguayan journalist and author Victor Hugo Morales has said. 

Morales said Maradona had told him of his intention when he called the former coach of the Argentina national team to check on the condition of his sick father on June 21.
