The coaches engaged in the Champions League on Wednesday night have, of course, all had a word to pay tribute to Diego Maradona.

We will particularly remember those of Pep Guardiola, who would see him play at Camp Nou when he was little.

“I once saw a banner in Argentina that said 'it doesn't matter what you've done with your life Diego, what matters is what you have done for our lives.'

It fits perfectly with what this guy gave us.

A man of joy and pleasure, who made world football better, ”said the Manchester City manager after his team's victory against Olympiacos.

“His performances with Napoli and with the Argentine team in Mexico in 1986, it was something incredible,” he added.

The Mondial 86, an absolute masterpiece of the albiceleste legend, is also the moment that marked Zinédine Zidane.

"I engraved it in my head, reacted the coach of Real.

This is very sad news, it is a huge loss, not just for football but for the world in general.

It touches us deeply.

I have no words.

We are very sad about this news.

Jurgen Klopp also expressed his sadness and his admiration for the player that was Maradona.

“He was one of the greatest players in football history.

I watched a documentary about him not long ago, which I found exceptional.

You could see Diego the amazing player and Maradona who had her many problems.

When you're a young person and everyone's going crazy no matter where you go, it doesn't have to be easy.

He had to struggle with it.

But Diego and Maradona will miss me, ”said the Liverpool coach.

“He was an incredible player.

His technique, his endurance, his attitude… He proved to us that there was no need to be the greatest, that sometimes you did not need to be the most involved in training or that you You didn't have to be always on time to become the best player in the world, he added with a smile.

He loved this game so much, you could only see it every second on the pitch.
