NAPLES, Italy (AP) – Napoli and its fans pay tribute to Diego Maradona on his fifth anniversary. about his death<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“Napoli would like to remember you with a special video. Five years ago, the greatest player of all time left us,” the stadium announcer said as footage of Maradona was played on the stadium’s big screens before the Champions League match between Napoli and Calabag on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The whole stadium shouted “Diego, Diego”.<\/p>\n

In the 10th minute, to the sound of Maradona’s jersey number, the fans chanted “There’s only one Maradona” and began singing a song about him, while also paying tribute to Maradona by waving flags, scarves and team shirts.<\/p>\n

Maradona died of a heart attack at the age of 60 on November 25, 2020, two weeks after being discharged from a hospital in Buenos Aires following surgery for a blood clot on the brain.<\/p>\n

He led Napoli to their first two Serie A titles in 1987 and 1990, and after his death the club’s stadium was renamed Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.<\/p>\n

Famous for leading Argentina to victory in the 1986 World Cup, Maradona is considered one of the greatest soccer players of all time.<\/p>\n
