The fact he pulls this off in a world Cup game, not just some pickup or mid season league game - shows how incredible it really is. A lot of people can do fancy moves, but quickly humbled in meaningful games. This guy pulled this off when stakes were so high and opponents were best in the world.

[@critical_analysis]

Why this goal is considered the greatest is not only because of the incredible dribbling skills and composure of Maradona but also it was played on a sub-standard pitch in Mexico. Gary Linekar in his commentary states that to score such a goal on that type of pitch was possible only to a person like Maradona. Maradona was one of his kind, greatest of them all.

[@UK_hotspot]

So who is the GOAT after all? Maradone/ Pele/ Christiano/ Messi??? I'm confused

[@Carla369]

I’m Argentinian (born in 1982). Maradona was one if not the most famous person in my country and now having being living in Europe and met people from all the world I noticed that maradona was famous everywhere that’s so crazy to understand. We have our own famous people celebrities but never imagined that Maradona was admired by such quantity of people

[@hki4464]

If you are surprised by that, you probably don't know the importance of football, it's the modern age religion (at least for men), and footballing legends are the modern day prophets.They say you can leavee your job, your house, your country and even your religion, but you can never leave your club.

In Bangladesh, Maradona is more known than the Argentina itself. Our childs first know the name 'Maradona' when start playing football. They know the name of his country 'Argentina' very much later. So, he is greater than his whole country in fame. In recent years, 'Messi' is in the same place or nearly same place along with him. He is unforgettable. He is the Greatest. You cannot imagine how we love him. I think, Maradona and Messi has more strict or pure fans in number in Bangladesh than Argentina 's entire population (46 Millions). We are highly proud of Maradona and Messi. Our Love for them is unbeatable. Bangladeshis are really crazy for them. It is really unthinkable.

[@chessmate7368]

My favorite part is 1:21 where he leaps into the air, it seams that he is ruffling out his feathers getting ready to become airborne and wayyyyy he levitates into eternal greatness, as the rest of us standing amazed and bamboozled in front of a genius never to be seen ever again, until, perhaps, another Argentinian comes by, perhaps, to redo that once more as to emulate this magnificent player that has no equal...

[@MrRockleyend]

Diego was something from other planet. Even if he were playing in our time, he would compited as one of the best if not the best of all. Also, he had a personality as no other player had. The only problem of Diego was the lack of discipline during his prime.

Now Messi and mbape are safe with technology. As a third world country we all have a sympathy for Argentina. Further the south amrican game is a class while European game is mechanical and power game. Exception in Erupoe are the artful Italians. We missed them this world cup. This final mbape scored the penalty with power. Messi scored very coolly. Those two penalties are from two different schools. For my geneation from India football started with Maradona and happily ended with the aArgentine win with Messi in Qatar.
