What people may not realize is, that just like the title indicates, all of that footage is from just ONE tournament (world cup 1986). This isn't a collection of footages from multiple tournaments, multiple years, clubs, etc. No, this is what he did in ONE tournament. Absolutely stunning performance. No player has ever played with that stamina, skills, speed, etc., in one tournament.

I've watched the whole tournament live on TV when I was still a little kid during that summer, and I remember vividly when I was watching Maradona playing, it was a supernatural display of supremacy on the pitch. He wasn't only just a heavenly gifted player, but he also was a true warrior and a leader... I've cried and screamed my lungs out, how this could be real!? I've watched him playing with Napoli as well, and he was also unreal, but that 1986 world cup tournament, was probably the best one the world has ever seen from one individual, even to this day... Messi might be the GOAT in terms of the achievements and the longevity, but Maradona was also the pure genius of the game!

“I can do whatever you want.” Sums up the sheer mastery this man had over the football. Poetry.

I have watched Maradona on TV and in person (I consider myself lucky to have seen him live) during my Teens. I have never seen such a presence from one single individual in a team sport. We are all familiar with the historic footage now, but what make him special was this aura of being "unbeatable" to his opponents and the spectators. We didn't really watch the game, we watched Maradona. His ability to judge the ball, situations and the game overall was almost superhuman. I have seen him reach balls nobody would even run after. For some reason he could judge that he will get it. After a while you knew as a spectator that if Maradona would start to run, he would get it. If he was going after a kick, the ball would end up where he wanted it to end up. He had an incredibly low error rate, especially during his time from 1984 to 1990. His passes and overall accuracy have been unbelievable. His natural understanding of physics and motion should have been studied closer. He was an unbelievable talent, unmatched by anybody in my lifetime. His performances in 1986 are legendary, but one of the hidden masterpieces was his game 1990 against Brazil. There you can see another side of him as a strategic genius.

The biggest difference between the 1980s and today is that players had zero protection in the 1980s, and top players were butchered all the time especially Maradona.

We would probably see dozens of plays from him to the level of the "goal of the century" or some even better plays than that. That's how good he was

He was back then a star in his country, but Menotti had other stupid ideas no one will understand. And in 1982 all was set up by Havelange (then the mafiosi FIFA boss) to hinder a WC win for Diego at any cost. That's the reason why Gentile (Italy) fouled him from the beginning until the end without getting multiple red cards, and why the Brazilians did the same.

My dad saw him as a kiddie play in a a friendly for Argentina vs Scotland. Apparently Diego was sent a wayward pass, far too high and should have gone of play, but he did a kind of high kick and landed with the ball resting on one foot. My dad said the Scots crowd as one let out an incredulous 'ooof'. The boy was clearly something very special.

Even more than when my thoughts go to the Iceman, the all times greatest football-artist. Diego just had a flame, a sparkling will and involvement, beside all his skills and creativity.

Brazil in 1970 had several brilliant players, a great team. An average Argentina team in 1986. But in Maradona, they had a player from another level. Won that World Cup on his own. Goat👍

Messi doesn’t receive that kind of punishment. Football was more dirty then. The referees allowed more play. And look how Maradona avoids falling at all costs.

I decided to watch this video and then one with Messi's bids in 2022 in the World Cup. Maradona's moves are much more impressive, what he did to escape the fouls and stay on his feet was pure talent. With Messi you don't notice these types of moves, because today's football doesn't allow for so much toughness in the moves, today there is also an area around the main player. That's why Messi is not as physically challenged by the strength of opponents as Maradona. Messi is not at his peak in 2022, unlike Maradona who was at his peak in 1986. Messi, even though not as spectacular as Maradona, was as effective as, or even more so in 2022.

Maradona is not a football player, he plays a sport that only he has any notion of, and he is the unique individual that will ever be able to practice it.

Now THAT is the BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME!!! And when they came after him, they always tried to hurt him. The refs didn't protect him. Not like the little cry babies now.

Gracias por subir este excelente resumen! Maradona fue un genio de toda la cancha; robaba pelotas increibles como el mejor defensor, iba a buscar todas las pelotas sabiendo q lo iban a matar a patadas pero el siempre, SIEMPRE iba y si no ganaba era porque lo bajaban de manera alevosa pero cuando lograba saltar las patadas aparecia la magia unica del Diego. Es emotivo ver los huevos q este genio ponia en toda la la cancha. A Pele y a el les pegaron como nunca se vio despues. El partido contra Corea fue una carniceria.

The "three-toes" pass that gives at 2:32, is absolutely INFERNAL. It doesn't matter if he's considered the best of all times, or not. It does not applies to him. Forgetaboutit! What it's indisputable, is that he still is the most unpredictable player ever. He's by definition, the dynamic of the unthinkable.

Ningun jugador en la historia de los mundiales gravito tanto su participacion individual y aporte para ganar el mundial, Diego lo hizo y ademas convirtio el mejor gol de todos los mundiales, su vida personal es otra cosa, pero en el futbol es el barrilete cosmico the best 💪🐐

In 2021 Argentina won the copa America after 28 years And Italy won the Euro after 53 years. And it happened in the same year, the first without the Myth of Football , the man who was obviously loved by God

I can watch Maradona highlights for days! He was heavy and overweight, yet he was as fast as a rocket! This man was different, unique. His touches, runs, style were unique. He is the true GOAT, Messi is next.

Me emociona verlo jugar, era un verdadero patriota, que en vez de armas usaba la pelota como medio para la victoria. No lo viví pero siempre estará en la memoria colectiva de la Argentina. El más grande que se ah visto en toda la historia, no hay punto de comparación solo algunos pocos pueden codearse con el. Un verdadero genio, un verdadero artista, el fino césped era su lienzo, y que bien que pintaba carajo. Gracias Diego Armando Maradona por tanto fútbol, gracias por tantas alegrías que todavía hoy perduran, GRACIAS.

Pele.

Maradona was just a one man demolition job, on the whole tournement ! absolutely stunning performances throughout,

He fought every ball like it was the last one, they tried to kill him in every chance they've got and still he got up and keep moving foward. Most fouled player with 54 (WR), 10/14 goals created 5 goals and 5 assists (WR), most dribble in a single competition with 53 (WR), 56 of 101 shots from Arg were created by Maradona, as an assist pass or shot attempt, THIS is how you win a WC and stand out above anyone else, for me the real GOAT. People nowadays cries because messi doesnt have a WC, and cant be declared as the GOAT without a doubt, but he doesnt have what it needs to be on the very top alone

Lets compare those stats to Messi lol. Would be an interesting video!

Those 80's european players were dirty AF when it came to deffending and someone had to tell those koreans that this was a football world cup, not a taekwondo tournament! 🤣, it also looked like the italians had a lot of bitterness against him ( juventus, milan players much of them?🤣) , the bulgarians and the belgians could not even get near him, then the poor english.

Just look at the sheer love and ability he demonstrates with the ball with the creative juggling. It's beyond Messi as Messi cannot juggle and control the ball with every part of the body like Maradona does. Messi is an academy based talent. Maradona is a street footballer with insane street skills and all around body control. Messi also cannot take long balls and often if you watch Messi, he needs a team built around him that gives him low balls so that they are easier to control. Maradona straight out fits into any team in the world and he''ll control that long ball like a magnet attracts a door nail.

I was in Michigan when this World Cup took place. We watched that matches tape delayed on CBC Canadian TV. I still have not seen this type of play since. My father was lucky enough to go to Mexico and see the England v Argentina match. My father spotted the handball immediately and just thought that it was going to be called back. My father was a referee in Michigan. In spite of that hand of God goal, I can't say I have ever seen a better individual player and I am not sure if this will happen in the next 100 years...........

By far the No 1 personalitty and football player in the human history....all the other big players , looks like little kids in front of him , greetings to all Maradonianos all over the world from Greece

No. The greatest soccer personality OAT is Johan Cruyff. A player, a director, a manager, a philosopher. Maradona is the GOAT, when we are talking about ON the pitch.

@@gabyvandinterenpmp956 Johan Cruyff is my second favorite player so I can't disagree.

Maradona is the greatest player of all time, and it's not even a close run thing. These clips show him to be the complete player: astonishing dribbling, shooting, passing, close control, vision, balance, strength, resilience, mobility and an indomitable desire to win. He could even tackle! And wanted to tackle (unlike other greats of the game)! As you watch him, you see him do things in a way that you have never seen before. Even the way he addresses the ball is unique.The turns, the flicks, the artistry. In a game played by millions over a century and a half, he made you think you were seeing something new, because you were. And all of this was achieved on awful pitches, with defenders trying to maim him, and his greatest achievements with Argentina and Napoli were with teams that were good but not great. He made them winners. Can you just imagine what he would have been like on today's pitches, with the protection of the officials, and surrounded by players like those of the modern Superclubs? I'm glad though that we saw him in his era - the romance and the brutality of it combined to make it a crucible of fire where you needed steel and guile as well as skill - and it cements his position at the top of the game, never to be surpassed.

As great as Diego was, fact is that we just don't know how great Pele was due to near complete lack of footage. But we do know Pele was an official National Treasure. He didn't play outside of Brazil because it was prevented BY LAW.

They really didnt try all that hard to stop him. Mathaus erased him completely. Rest of the games was a bunch of out of breath sweaty Europeans chasing a man at the peak of his powers that had been training in altitude for 3 months prior.
