The greatest player in the history of the Argentine and world football legend, Diego Armando Maradona died on Wednesday (25) at the age of 60.
The Argentine star suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest at his home in the city of Tigre, according to the Argentine newspaper “Clarín”.
The “golden bean” underwent delicate brain surgery earlier this month and was released eight days later. It drained a small hemorrhage in the brain.
Dr. Leopoldo Luque said at the time that the surgery was considered simple, but there was concern about the former player’s state of health.
World champion at the 1986 World Cup, when he was immortalized by the goals he scored against England, Maradona was revered and treated like a god in Argentina.
His hand goal against England was known worldwide for the “hand of God”.
