The tragedy shook all of Argentina, where Diego was an idol of the masses. It was seen from the first moment in which he was admitted a few weeks ago at the Ipensa Clinic, in La Plata. The ex-footballer presented a anemia and depression picture, for which he was hospitalized in the absence of more evidence.

The next day's diagnosis has already set off alarms. The subdural hematoma He required an emergency intervention, for which Maradona was transferred to the Olivos Clinic. That moment in which he traveled the 73.2 kilometers of distance between the two clinics was the last in which he could notice the fervor of the fans, who accompanied him at the start and the finish. After a few days at home, he suffered a cardiac arrest from which he could not recover.

With the goodbye of Maradona, Argentina and the world are left without the one who for many is the best player of all time. Diego began his career at age 16 in Argentinos Juniors, although very soon he set out for Mouth, where he was always considered an idol, despite the fact that the leadership transferred him to Barcelona in what for the time was a multimillion-dollar and famous transfer.

At Barcelona He could not settle in the two years he was there, although he had time to win three titles: a King's Cup, a League Cup and a Super Cup.

Maradona's soccer career was blown up when he tested positive for cocaine in 1991, banning him from the fields for 15 months on suspension. After that, Sevilla tried to recover him for the elite and left notable touches of his class, although he was already very physically impaired. He returned to his country to play with Newell's Y Mouth, and still gave him to dispute his last World Cup, that of USA 94, in which he returned to give positive as a sad end to his international career.

With him Argentina played the South Africa World Cup without pain or glory, falling to Germany in the round of 16. After that, he was in the football of the United Arab Emirates and his last experiences were Dorados of Sinaloa, in Mexico, and Gymnastics of the Silver, which he directed since last year.

Considered by many to be the best player of all time, his absence leaves an impossible to correct void for soccer lovers in Argentina.
