He won 91 caps for Argentina between 1977 and 1994 -바카라 웹사이트including leading his country to World Cup glory in 1986 - and will forever be an icon at Napoli, having won the Serie A title twice while in Italy.

Pele himself described Maradona as a "true legend" in a heartfelt바카라 웹사이트Instagram post following the news of his friend's passing last month.
"Many people loved to compare us all their lives. You were a genius that enchanted the world. A magician with the ball at his feet. A true legend. But above all that, for me, you will always be a great friend, with an even bigger heart," Pele wrote to accompany a picture of the pair.
"Today, I know that the world would be much better if we could compare each other less and start admiring each other more. So, I want to say that you are incomparable."
