On the 25th of November we have lost possibly the greatest football player of all time. Diego Armando Maradona.

He had been admitted to a hospital in Argentina. He was admitted on the 2nd of Novenber. And everyone was notified. Lionel Messi posted a picture of him and Diego with heart felt words.

But when this had happened, the entire football industry had been notified. Everyone was heartbroken. Everyone, including myself, had added to their stories on instagram and other social media platforms honouring Maradona's death.
Pele was devastated. He said in a press conference, and I quote, "I hope one day we'll be playing football in the sky together".
Now this made my heart melt.

Maradona is mainly known by non-football fans for winning the 1986 FIFA world cup with the legendary goal known as the 'Hand Of God'. Where in the 92' minute into the game, he jumped up with the England goalkeeper(Peter Shilton) handed the ball and scored.

Now he should have recieved a yellow card and the goal should have been disallowed but that didn't happen. So Argentina then won it ,making Diego Maradona the hero and the villain. But I can assure you he played absolutely incredible.

But enough said. I just want to send my condolences towards his family and friends because we have lost the GOAT of football.
