Diego Maradona in World Cup 86 is the Highest level a player has ever had - Unstoppable

[@Diddykong8775]

What people may not realize is, that just like the title indicates, all of that footage is from just ONE tournament (world cup 1986). This isn't a collection of footages from multiple tournaments, multiple years, clubs, etc. No, this is what he did in ONE tournament. Absolutely stunning performance. No player has ever played with that stamina, skills, speed, etc., in one tournament.

I have watched Maradona on TV and in person (I consider myself lucky to have seen him live) during my Teens. I have never seen such a presence from one single individual in a team sport. We are all familiar with the historic footage now, but what make him special was this aura of being "unbeatable" to his opponents and the spectators. We didn't really watch the game, we watched Maradona. His ability to judge the ball, situations and the game overall was almost superhuman. I have seen him reach balls nobody would even run after. For some reason he could judge that he will get it. After a while you knew as a spectator that if Maradona would start to run, he would get it. If he was going after a kick, the ball would end up where he wanted it to end up. He had an incredibly low error rate, especially during his time from 1984 to 1990. His passes and overall accuracy have been unbelievable. His natural understanding of physics and motion should have been studied closer. He was an unbelievable talent, unmatched by anybody in my lifetime. His performances in 1986 are legendary, but one of the hidden masterpieces was his game 1990 against Brazil. There you can see another side of him as a strategic genius.

The biggest difference between the 1980s and today is that players had zero protection in the 1980s, and top players were butchered all the time especially Maradona.

Brazil in 1970 had several brilliant players, a great team. An average Argentina team in 1986. But in Maradona, they had a player from another level. Won that World Cup on his own. Goat👍

[@grandegrande4319]

They tried so hard to stop him. Unbelievable brutality. That’s why Maradona is the best ever. Sorry, Lionel. And thank you Matigol for this rare footage 🙌

[@batikopssj3557]

Exactly, they kicked his legs, kneed his stomach, slapped his face, elbowed his head but will cry over a hand ball...

[@lexico8165]

Totally agree 1000%. Messi & CR7 are great players but nobody in the history of this great sport has been better than Diego in his prime.

[@patrickduffy1301]

It's not rare footage

[@shawndiboti6191]

did you see messi vs colombia? in south america he’s still dealing with the same treatment, players trying to break his legs. Messi will bring copa home to argentina just wait 🤞🏾🇦🇷

[@mskidi]

They really didnt try all that hard to stop him. Mathaus erased him completely. Rest of the games was a bunch of out of breath sweaty Europeans chasing a man at the peak of his powers that had been training in altitude for 3 months prior.

Tecnica, velocidad, fuerza, vision de juego, valentia, maradona fue unico. No he visto desde el mundial 86 algo tan superlativo individualmente de un jugador en un equipo de futbol en un mundial. Leyenda.

What Diego did in ‘86 is close to impossible to replicate. Messi, Ronaaldo and all the today so called goats had their moments but Maradona in ‘86 was out of this world. Despite his controversial life , he was a gift to football . R.I.P the one and only GOAT.

@FIFA WORLD CUP UPDATES I have to respectfully disagree. Messi nor even Ronaldo could lead a relegation team like Napoli and win league championships the way Maradona did.

[@RHONSON100]

In a stage like world cup ..against such difficult teams... In a single tournament how he handled so many players..his skills and techniques and dribbbles in just this one tournament is beyong imagination. My utmost respect to him. Diego will always be best.

@@phantasticmrphasma9874 I saw Ronaldinho Gaucho alive since sub-15y until 19y playing by Grêmio and all categories of Brazilian Selection Team. Won all in his life: since World Cup to city championship. ALL!! Went to PSG and was the best there. Went to Barcelona and delighted the world. Went to Milan and explode the Italy Returned to Brazil and gained the national championship. Played by Flamengo and Atletico Mineiro. Never touched the hand in the ball to prejudice the adversary He never aspired cocaine Is with 42 years now and is an example for all boys and players around the world Where he goes is an true spetacle Still plays better than 95% of the players in activity from the principal leagues AND MAINLY: is considered only the 4th or 5th best brazilian player of all times. Pele is the king. Don't compare any other with him. Won 3 World Cups. If wouldnt injuried in 1966, would be 4. Were 2 goals in the final of 1958 with only 17y. Garrincha trully won a World Cup "alone" in 1962 Ronaldo Fenomeno, our fat boy, is the best number 9 of all times. 14 goals only in World Cups Romario is the king of goal.
