The tweet saying “La Asociación del Fútbol Argentino, a través de su Presidente Claudio Tapia, manifiesta su más profundo dolor por el fallecimiento de nuestra leyenda, Diego Armando Maradona.
Siempre estarás en nuestros corazones <3” In English it means “The Argentine Football Association, through its President Claudio Tapia, expresses its deepest sorrow for the death of our legend, Diego Armando Maradona. You will always be in our hearts,”
Here is the a few seconds into his “Hand Of God” goal:
While he was also surrounded by notoriety, rumos, drugs and alcoholism, the soccer lovers around the world forgave him and chanted in the stadium once that they forgive him and he was just standing there, mesmerized with the mic and hands folded around his chest. He said “ I was wrong and I paid for it”, “The ball is not stained” and the stadium sang it’s forgiveness. This apology made him win the hearts of his fans all over again.
Argentina’s President Alberto Fernandez took to twitter and tweeted “You took us to the top of the world. You made us feel incredibly happy. You were the greatest of all. Thank you for having existed,”. He announced a three days mourning on passing away of the legend and whom he calls a superstar. Meanwhile Alexander Čeferin tweeted “He will go down in history as someone who set football alight and thrilled fans young and old with his brilliance and skill,”
