Legendary Soccer Star Diego Maradona: A Profile of Greatness

A significant event took place in December 2022 that will be mentioned very shortly that effectively knocked Maradona off his perch as the greatest player of all time for many. Until the past decade or so, the Argentine was part of a two-man debate with Pele as the best player ever. Another two players came along to throw a spanner in the works, but their success hasn't taken anything away from the star of his nation's 1986 World Cup success. Napoli won their first league title since Maradona's spell with the club in the 2022/23 season and the Italian club have even named their stadium after their former hero. This will help his legacy live on after Maradona passed away in 2020.
