WWE Pays Homage to Legendary Soccer Player Diego Maradona

Few hours ago, we lost one of the greatest Soccer players in the world, Diego Maradona. The man was a diamond and a reason why many professional Soccer players too up the sport.

WWE Superstar, Andrade, and multiple social media platforms of WWE mourned the legend’s death. They all paid their respects to the legend.

On the 2nd of November, they admitted Maradona to a hospital in La Plata. A representative of the legendary player said his condition was not serious.

The next day, in a sudden turn of events, Maradona underwent brain surgery to treat a subdural hematoma. His surgery was successful and he was released on November 12 from the hospital.

On November 25, the legend passed away after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Tigre, Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was 60 years old. The legend may have left earth; however, his legacy will be with us forever.

The legacy of Diego Maradona

Maradona is regarded as one of the greatest Soccer stars of all time. He helped Argentina reach the pinnacle to win the World Cup in 1986. He was the one responsible for the infamous ‘Hand of God’ that eliminated England from the 1986 World Cup.

Maradona’s scoring prowess and flair in slaloming past opponents vaulted him into the Soccer Hall of Fame. Brazilian legend Zico once said, “I saw Maradona do things that God himself would doubt were possible.”

As he reached old age, the Argentine legend developed heart problems caused by cocaine addiction. This resulted in wild weight and fitness swings that seemed to reflect his do-or-die attitudes to both soccer and life.
