  • Live: Reactions to Maradona's death

Diego Armando Maradona

died this Wednesday at the age of 60 after suffering a cardiac arrest before noon.

The former footballer was admitted to a clinic in

Buenos Aires

for

ten days earlier this month

due to anemia, dehydration and a "low mood", but when doing check-ups he was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma for which he was operated.

After undergoing surgery, Maradona settled in his home in

Tigre

, a town north of Buenos Aires, where he finally died.

Maradona

is considered one of the

best footballers in the history of football

.

He went from footballer to legend at the

1986 World Cup in Mexico

, when he captained Argentina to win the

World Cup

.

His double against England in the quarterfinals of the tournament, with

La Mano de Dios

and the best goal ever, covering the middle of the field while dodging defenses without stopping on his way to the altar of the ball.

"Cosmic kite, from what planet did you come to leave so much English on the road," cried

Victor Hugo Morales

.

34 years after that

, the world dismisses a Maradona who is a

religion in Argentina

and an icon in Naples, a club he raised from the ashes to lead him to conquer Italy.

In Spain he spent two periods, in

Barcelona and in Seville

, with more prominence in his nightlife than in the ball, but forever remembered.

On October 30, on his

60th birthday

, the 'Cebollita' was heading to the world in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.

What he did not know, nor did we know, is that those would be his last words in public.

"I want all Argentines to be well. We have a beautiful country and it makes me very sad when I see kids who don't have

enough

to eat,

I know what it's like to be hungry

, I know what it feels like in your belly when you don't eat for several days and that cannot happen in my country, "he said.

"I just want my dad to continue living"

Behind were his

fights with his ex

, Claudia Villafañe, his daughters,

Dalma and Giannina

, -for years he was known only two, but in reality he has eight.

Or probably ten-, the memories of a difficult 2020 that had reminded him of all the good and bad of his career:

34 years of La mano de Dios

and Mexico;

30 years of the historic defeat in the

debut of Italy 90 against Cameroon

, the goal of

Claudio Caniggia

to beat Brazil, the semifinal won against Italy and the final lost with

Germany

due to a penalty kicked at 85 minutes by Andreas Brehme , a criminal that, even today, an entire country continues to insist that it was not.

"

I just want my dad to go on living,

" GIannina exclaimed in public.

It is a cry that all of Argentina has been uttering for years as they watched an increasingly human, more abandoned Maradona.

His appearances at the

2018 World Cup in Russia

, 'crucified' in the honor box of each stadium where his team played, became a 'meme' on social media but reflected the poor condition of the human Diego, weighed down by drugs, alcohol and bad company, those that always kept him off the lawn.

"Neither would I find peace dead. They

use me in life

, and they will find the moment to do so while dead," he came to say.

"Maradona is not just any person, he is a man attached to a leather ball, he has the heavenly gift of treating the ball very well ...

Diego Armando we are waiting for you to come back

. We will always love you," Calamaro sang.

So.

As a final summary,

Maradona himself

: "If I die, I want to be born again and I want to be a footballer. And

I want to be Diego Armando Maradona again

. I am a player who has given people joy and that is enough for me and I have plenty ".
