\n
I<\/span>Five years after the death of Diego Armando Maradona, the world of football has shown its love for one of the greatest footballers of all time, with clubs, players and fans paying tribute to him and sharing memories from his football career, including winning the World Cup in Mexico in 1986, a few years after he took over as manager of Dorados de Sinaloa.<\/p>\nHowever, the post that sparked the most comments was by Lionel Messi, who shared a black and white photo taken during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa on his Instagram Story. In the image, Maradona can be seen holding Messi in his arms, as the now captain of the Argentina national team smiles.<\/p>\n
What was the relationship between Messi and Maradona like? The moment two Argentinian legends came together<\/h2>\n
The photographic memory of the 2010 World Cup, when Messi was the coach, was a moving memory that speaks better than a thousand words. Messi scored a goal for Barcelona against Osasuna and took off his shirt to reveal the historic number 10 Newell’s jersey worn by Maradona in the 1990s.<\/p>\n
Tributes to Diego Armando Maradona around the world: Ronaldinho, Napoli and the club where the Argentine player shined<\/h2>\n
Besides photos of Lionel Messi, the network was also filled with memories of the historic Argentine player. <\/p>\n
One of the posts was by Ronaldinho, who published a video with Maradona and wrote:<\/p>\n
\n
\nFive years without one of the greatest players of all time…Don Diego!<\/p>\n
Ronaldinho<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\nchampions league <\/p>\n
\n
\nOle, ole, ole, Diego, Diego<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
Boca Juniors, Argentinos Juniors, Newell’s Old Boys, San Lorenzo, Argentine Football Association (AFA) etc. Diego Armando Maradona is one of the greatest figures of all time who will be remembered for his career, achievements and championships.<\/p><\/div>\n
