Argentina has announced three days of mourning following the death of football legend Diego Maradona.
The 60-year-old passed away from a heart attack, just weeks after brain surgery.
Considered one of the sport’s greatest players, he catapulted Argentina to victory in the 1986 World Cup.
And thousands of fans there celebrated the athlete who overcame poverty by being the best in his field.
Al Jazeera’s Teresa Bo reports from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

#Maradona #ElDiego #RipMaradona
RIP Maradona ….
To understand the gargantuan shadow Maradona casts over his football-mad homeland, one has to conjure up the athleticism of Michael Jordan, the power of Babe Ruth – and the human fallibility of Mike Tyson. Lump them together in a single barrel-chested man with shaggy black hair and you have El Diego, idol to the millions who call him D10S, a mashup of his playing number and the Spanish word for God…
How their god dies if they are still a live?
u stupid?!
@Vname Nname Anwer my question forget about every things else.
I’m tell u , I never try to abuse to you…
RIP Maradona…nobody who loves the beautiful game does not know his name. Legend.
A legend of extra ordinary kind. R.I.P Diego maradona.
the journalist talk to fast and her words muffled that i can’t understand what she was trying to report from the street…
Please Aljazeera cool down and understand you are supporting TPLF in Ethiopia. TPLF is a Terrorist group in East Africa for the last 30 years. But TPLF works as Ethiopian governor and even east Africa peace keeper and Confusing the world. TPLF brings ethnic politics in East Africa the first time . TPLF cause for the split of Sudan in two two, Somalia in to different and Ethiopia in two different regions. For easy terrorizing. We remember PM Meles Zenawi and Presedent Albesher are war friends. And the problem starts at that period.
Every head must bow , every tongue must profess that he was greatest of all time …R.I.P legend
@Claudio Canavaro we all have a difference of opinion ! I disagree with you 100%..ronaldinho also to me better than Maradona or messi..🤷♂️
@The Gaijin Soprano and you do..😂😂
@Claudio Canavaro completely Disagree with you on the messi being the “Best”
@Zoey Sal but is a fact
@Jeff Lopez but he wasn’t better than them fact
He was great player.
This person was a communist, a Fidel Castro supporter, in favor of Cuban policies. He had issues with alcohol/drug addiction, and had a broken soul. Pretty tragic story.
He dodged taxes in Italy. Tattooed Castro and Guevara on his knees. Supported the continuation of socialist oppression across the globe. Had a contemptuous hatred against the United States. Ah well..
@Greg Batmarx yes i know
The ex wife of jeff bezos got 40 billion dollars in divorce
With 30 billion you could buy every homeless person in usa a home and she still would have 10 billion
Lololol
@Greg Batmarx you are in greece, right??
@Ushta Te democrats aren’t even leftists idiot

RIP, Love to our Argentinian Friends
From New Zealand.
argentina 3 dias de luto nacional
Cocaine and hookers waiting in heaven
Maradona the greatest football player. Legend. Rip
Famous people like Michael Jackson, Maradona, George Michael etc have everything but have nothing in terms of Soul satisfaction . Money satisfy the body but not the Soul. For Soul satisfaction you need to follow Quran and Sunnah, It is best for body and soul plus you go to HEAVEN after death, excellent Idea.
They lost a ‘god’
thanks to Diego…😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I guess he’s in God’s hands now. 😆😆
RIP GOAT
The fact of the matter is.. For us Argentinians, Maradona >>> Messi
Yes because of the world cup.
Why Can’t You Just Be Proud Of The Fact That Both Of Them Are From Argentina?
Yes Maradona Was A Legend And Messi Is One Of The Greatest Players In The World Today.
Love & Respect , RIP Diego
Hand of God
RIP, A great football player of all time ‘Diego Maradona’ from India
The owner of the foot that God has blessed
Maradonaaaaaaaa … (sedih)
Touched by the hand of God 😉 We should stop idolising cheats, especially those that frame their cheating as success, in Maradona’s case him calling it creative. A brilliant player—and a dishonourable cheat. A complex guy.

No, I´m not italian. I am argentinian, my grandparents where italians. My country is very rich, big, with a lot of natural resources and culture. And we are not ashamed about any part of our country. Sorry if you think that the south part of Italy is not part of your country or is less than others. I think that de south part, Naples in first place is more beautiful than the north, and the people there is better, warmer and cheerful. E si tu sei italiano, perché stai parlando in Inglés?
@Carmel RomaU ARE U ARE
ONLY GUARANI ARE REAL ARGENTINIAN
PARLO INGLESE perché non parlo bene spagnolo….
ARGENTINA IS NOT POOR?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

E noi con napoli…abbiamo un peso da sempre…

E per colpa loro…l’italia È al settimo posto per economia nel mondo…Quando potrebbe essere ancora più in Alto
Invece l’Argentina…da ricca che era…adesso guardatevi attorno🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Giorgio Royaume you are so ignorant. Vomiting hate here, what a sad image you are giving. Get a treatment with a psychiatrist!
As italian…northern italian ..beg pardon for…NAPLES
