RIP Diego Maradona

[tyz]

Sad news indeed 
RIP Diego Armando Maradona
He was one of the greatest football players of my time.


Was this related to the brain surgery he had this month?!

OP, can you please be so kind and write his name properly, with one n?

Apologies.
He had brain surgery recently but his death is attributed to cardiac arrest.

That can still mean that there is a connection. He must have taken medication in the aftermath of the operation, which often causes side effects such as high blood pressure. His health had been damaged by years of drug use and unhealthy lifestyle.

I am really sorry that he is no longer here. He was a legend. Helmed Napoli to the national title in the 80s, and in 1986 made Argentina world champion.
Was also very arrogant at times, but all in all, everyone had a lot of respect for him. RIP Diego

That really shocked me today as I read that. Maradona was a hero of my childhood, I waited in front of the TV for hours for the games to finally start. Right after the games, the desire for soccer was so great that I often wanted to play myself in the middle of the night ...

Unfortunately I saw this coming, that he will leave us early. In the last few years he has not paid much attention to his health and has been in the newspapers mainly because of drug abuse and his bad general condition.

It is a pity that he had to leave us so early!

it's really sad that Diego Maradona passed away today.
he was one of the best footballers in the world and i could even see him live in the stadium once when he was still playing for ssc napoli.
and exactly 15 years ago another football idol passed away - George Best


RIP Diego #10

Today's loss is a real blow to soccer. Certainly Maradona did not have a lifestyle to take as an example, but undoubtedly a piece that has been with us since childhood is gone.
After sixty years of which fifty of them all devoted to soccer, between disbelief and amazement at the legendary story he left behind, an important chapter has been closed but will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace Diego.

This is the saddest news for all football lovers this year...
the living legend of football has died, a lot of history he created when he was very young in the Argentina football team. may he be calm in another life, my prayers are with you Diego.

His soul and spirit will live on forever on the football pitches. I am also curious how Messi will respond to this. I think Messi always gets a lot of criticism from Maradona.

The greatest player. It was impossible to watch his game without emotion. His game is passion, this is feelings, this is true football. That is why he is so loved in Argentina and all over the world. And will always be loved and remembered.

When I first open the news today, I saw article conveying this sad news. Football fans will be in mourning. Another legend gone. He changed a lot of lives, and he lived a very colourful life. Time for him to rest. RIP Diego.

It was a miracle that he lived to be this old to begin with. Dude is known for his not healthy life style and even though he was admired by many people for his talents, I mean he was an amazing football player (and also not really a bad coach neither) but the fact is he did some stuff that could potentially kill people at a very very young age, so it was really shocking to live that long after doing so much hurtful stuff. 60 years old is not really a young age but it is also not old neither, it depends on the context, normally I wouldn't want to die when I am 60 or before, I would rather live to be 80+ at least, however if I lived the way Maradona lived, his 60 years old was much more fulfilled with "life" than I could ever have even if I lived to be 250 years old.

Not really a fan of football but I saw a lot of documentaries about the life of Diego Maradon and I can say that it is a colorful life in football and he won't be forgotten and the joy he brought to the fans will forever be etched in history.

Rest in Peace Diego, you are now in the Hands of God.

Shocking news. I knew that he had health problem and brain surgery recently, but I read some time ago that was getting better. He was contraversial and colourful personality and he left huge mark in football history.
2020 took from us Kobe Bryant and now Diego Maradona...
RIP, Diego Armando Maradona. Legends never die!

and i could even see him live in the stadium once when he was still playing for ssc napoli.

You're really lucky that you saw him playing live in the stadium. Unfortunately, I'm too young and didn't had chance to see him playing even on TV.

This is terribly sad Rest In Paradise to a absolute football legend. 
I was so shocked to hear of this sad news earlier today.
I still remember this goal from World Cup 34 years ago-  https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1331654255833456647

RIP! What a legend. I still remember him playing football during the world cups, such talent. 60 years is just too young for such a great player.

[devil2man]

R.I.P Maradona !!! he was really young, only 60 years old, for me he was the greatest footballer of all time

Death is inevitable and as such I don't see anything terrible about the act of dying, except it involves mangling of body parts in accidents. The football world will surely remember Maradona, no doubts.

Where does that leave Pele, then?

2020 took from us Kobe Bryant and now Diego Maradona...
RIP, Diego Armando Maradona. Legends never die!

I hope you also know that boh deaths aren't coronavirus related?

Beyond all that, I remember Maradona for his criminal hand of god goal scored against England during the quarter finals match with Argentina at the 1986 FIFA World Cup on June 22 at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. The English are yet to forgive Diego Maradona for that cheat. May be they will now 🙄.

I loved his football playing so much. I am a fan of him. When I heart about his death, I felt very depressed. He has a magical power to play football. Football world has lost his most magical player with his death. Rest in peace hero!

Lovely post, wish I had merit to send this as it’s quite beautiful. Diego will be truly remembered as an artist of the game we love for eternity.

The police searched the house of Maradona's doctor. He has been accused of manslaughter. Honestly, in my opinion it is wrong to always have to look for the culprit, even if it seems absurd that such a murder can be staged. We hope that the truth will come out as soon as possible
