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.
Before Maradona '86 there was Garrincha '62.
I thought Zidane 98 was on a par
@@colupton7415 Zidane was the man of the final. He wasn't really great during the tournament (even sent off against Saudia) France relied (mostly) on Deschamps, Thuram, Dessailly and Blanc in 1998. Zidane's impact was way bigger in 2000 and 2006.
Messi has.
@@ominae1 Messi had and has everywere he played and still plays a Squad of super Players around .Diego won the Titel buy his own,even Legends of the Game said and still say "1986 Argentinas eleven was Maradona plus 10 others,didnt Matter WHO was in the Pitch .For me 1990 deserves the Same Respect because , He wasnt pyhsically on his prime and he had only Canigia and they reached again the Final
Maradona was not a football player, he was an artist. And his Mona Lisa was the 86 World Cup, a performance that will live forever.
Insane how people have the audacity to compare Ronaldo to him…

@@culadragen702he is the greatest
I've watched the whole tournament live on TV when I was still a little kid during that summer, and I remember vividly when I was watching Maradona playing, it was a supernatural display of supremacy on the pitch. He wasn't only just a heavenly gifted player, but he also was a true warrior and a leader... I've cried and screamed my lungs out, how this could be real!? I've watched him playing with Napoli as well, and he was also unreal, but that 1986 world cup tournament, was probably the best one the world has ever seen from one individual, even to this day... Messi might be the GOAT in terms of the achievements and the longevity, but Maradona was also the pure genius of the game!

Maradona is the only one who's play was supernatural LOOK AT THOSE PITCHES those heavy leather boots the tackling the brutality of the game then and his life full of brutes monsters cling ons users mafia.. they have no idea how good he was his playing time is 1/3 of Messi yet his still the most foiled player in history he scored as many free kicks as Messi has in 3 x the time wen Messi was 22 ihe had 80 goals Maradona had 160 or something like that he was playing first devision football at 15 yrs old.. Messi was pumped with grown hormone for 10 yrs to build him up Maradona was immensely strong I don't belive for one second ,esis grown hormone was because Erp short derp he needs it medically I fully believe evryone knew he was like Diego a true 1 in 1 billion but he would like saviola and aimer be to weak to truly be great so they pumped in full of it to build him up and be like Maradona STRONG MESSIS INJURIE FRE CAREER IS growth hormone his weird hands ears nose are all a result of grown hormone to

Maradona was the reason why my dad became a football fan. His best advice is: if you want to do something in your life do it with love like Maradona.
He loved drugs more than football.

If in the 80s, the Ballon d'Or was awarded to a player from outside Europe, Maradona would have won at least 5 times.

@Fock Juutobe Golden Boot? The whole point of the Ballon d'Or is that it's totally different and separate from the Golden Boot, which is all about goalscoring exploits. The Ballon d'Or has been won down the years by a goalkeeper and centre backs and is all about the best player in that particular year regardless of goals scored.
from 83 to 85 Platini was the superior player, Diego would have won 86 ofc, 87 and 89 most probably, 88 no, I think Van Basten deserved it.
He even had the coolest name of any footballer…Once you heard it you remembered it….Diego Maradona !!! 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
True. His name alone is art: DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA ✨
Zinedine Zidane is a cool name also.

@@lalli6479 A very common and plain name, nothing special ...
There are players and artists. Maradona was an artist. In my opinion, no player ever can be compared to this man. He will remain the best of all time.
He is not people have to stop saying this nonsense. Football evolved so much that even average teams today would absolutely destroy teams from the pre 2000 era. Maradona is one of the greatest talents of all time that is certain. But the further the sport evolves the better players will become. Also consistancy is getting better and players have their peaks for longer periods. I'm sure even Messi will be surpassed at some point. Maybe not in the next 15-20 years but it will happen.
@@serenity192 you must be a messi’s fan to say Maradona is not the best. I agree with you that football has evolved in the last few decades but that has nothing to do with talents. When it comes to skills and talent I don’t think we’ll live to see any player who can be better than Maradona. In my opinion, he will be always the best of all time.
@@proudman6651 Im not a fan of single players im just not delusional. The fact that u bring up "fan of x" is my proof you have no idea what u are talking about lol. Messi has been a complete player for over 15 years now. How long did Maradona have his peak? Thats why Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo can't be betterted. They both did the same as other players before them but they did it for a way longer period
@@serenity192 @serenity192 not sure how you used my expectation that you are a fan of messi as a proof! My comment was about my opinion that Maradona is the best skilled/talented/gifted player of all time. This has nothing to do with you and me saying you are a fan of x has nothing to do with the main subject you are trying to discuss here. Not sure if you are consistent here as you said people should stop saying Maradona is the best claiming that the more the football game evolved the better player we get then you claimed Messi and Christiano can't be bettered! BTW, Christiano should not be compared to Messi or Maradona. Messi and Maradona naturally have the talent and skills while Christiano doesn't have any of the skills we are talking about. He is a great player for sure but talking about talent he is no way to be compared to them. Finally Messi managed to play longer than Maradona but in my opinion Maradona had better skills. It is my opinion and I'm sure it isn't only me. You have your opinion which you can express freely and I won't try to stop you from saying it. Try to accept that different people have different opinions.
@@proudman6651 I never said Cr7 is as good as Messi thats simply not true as no one is or was as complete as Messi. But Cr7 is definitely above the rest. As statistics are confirming this as well. Statistically there is no world where Maradona could be compared to Messi. Thats why I was saying he was one of the greatest talents ever but no chance he is the best player of all time. You are entitled to your opinion but its simply wrong. Never mistake nostalgia for facts.
I've been watching football since '82. I'm French.Therefore I fell many times in love with Platini, Henry, Zidane and now Mbappé. Enjoyed Messi's magic, R9 speed, Bergkamp first touch and R7 haircut. But... Maradona '86 is the greatest performance of a human being with a ball at his feet...

And we can’t forget Jose Manuel Moreno, a super star of 1940’s that is not very famous to a lot of people today, but when a watched videos of him playing, I realised that he was easily in the top 10.
Maradona was the best player i saw in all my life............
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.
From 1975 to 1986 was his peak.

Maradona is the best. Respect from India 🇮🇳
Nowadays most players wouldn't even try to do what he did in most of those situations and just dive trying to get a free-kick or penalty. It's a shame, modern football is garbage!
when VAR doesn’t exist.. it was the real football
What I love about his play is there were so many moments where he could have simply fallen over to draw a foul, but instead he almost stubbornly stayed on his feet and kept in the fight. What a player.
Same way Tony Montana should have fell down after getting shot twice, but the coke kept him alive even though he was basically Swiss cheese
Messi should take a lesson from Diego's play.
If he doesnt stay on his feet, he would simply lose the ball. So many tackles would easily become a foul nowadays, but the referees back in the days had no reaction at all. The rules nowadays created Neymar type of players and back in the days we had warriors like Maradona!
@@tinlongc True!! I'm tired of this "weakling" football
I was thinking this. It's why you'll likely never see a player like Maradona again because the style of football played is so different today. Something else.
Maradona86 is the best show of a soccer player of all time. Not a single player, to date, has been able to reach Maradona's 86 level. He really made the Mexico 86 World Cup his sole stage, without sacrificing respect for Burruchaga, Valdano etc. With only one World Cup, Maradona was able to establish himself as the idol of millions of footballers to date. Even Messi once stated that his idol player was Maradona. Gracias Diego!
Doesn't matter if Messi said that Maradona was his idol. You can surpass even those who you idolized; has we've clearly seen with what Messi has done in his career.
Messi can 10 goals a game and he still wouldnt come close to maradonas talent. I feel sorry for people who cannot see maradonas magic
@@mrporsche4236 Messi better. I feel sorry for you.
Burruchaga and Valdano are fine players. Fine. And those were the "good" ones!
Actually, Diego should have 2 WC if the super idiot of Menotti had included him (then 17) in the Argentina winning team of 1978. He was back then a star in his country, but Menotti had other stupid ideas no one will understand. And in 1982 all was set up by Havelange (then the mafiosi FIFA boss) to hinder a WC win for Diego at any cost. That's the reason why Gentile (Italy) fouled him from the beginning until the end without getting multiple red cards, and why the Brazilians did the same.
For those who know about football, you know his passes and dribbling are exquisite, unmatched. He moves his feet and legs in seconds to get the best possible play and his mind was going crazy with possibilities. He was given talent and he gave us this World Cup to appreciate the sport.
Maradona is willing to die on fields to win the games.. That kind of determination, we can’t see from players nowadays.. Players nowadays just like diva, while back then players like warriors..
Solo CR7 si avvicina come determinazione😊

Maradona was a gift to football, he changed the worlds view of the game, at a time when players were big and strong looked like boxers, Diego was short and compact he inspired the little kids in the playground made them believe they can also do it. Maradona was a one man gang yet always part of the team, he gave Argentina the world cup at the time they needed a celebration as a nation, after he passed a woman left a note outside his home saying " I'm not a football fan, but at a time when I was young and saw my dad cry daily because we couldn't afford food you made him happy by winning the trophy, the whole street was happy " People say Messi has had a longer run at the top, well would he last in that era? he would have been kicked into retirement by 25, Ronaldo, same, Maradona is the best ever, i'm so glad i saw him in 1986 football is not the same, players not the same, Maradona will always be the best. Thank you all those who made this great video
This is not a diss to maradona at all, definitely one of the best to ever do it and definitely the best from his generation, but Messi would run laps around the defenders of this era. I’m sorry but the game is simply better now. And it’s only getting better.

If speed played the biggest role, Mbappé would be the goat
@@erickvega1964 Messi is great and only 2nd to Diego mate. Messi's career at the top would be over by the time he's 23, Messi profited as did Ronaldo from the abuse Maradona took, they changed the rules to protect players, Maradona, Van Bastan, Gullit, these guys put up with attempted murder assaults. You can see in many video's Messi running with the ball with 3 defenders simply running along side him doing nothing because there not allowed to touch him, in diego's day 2 of them would have gone in with murderous intentions with the 3rd ready to dive in if the other 2 fail. You can only appreciate Maradona if you watched him every week 90 minutes 4-5 years the same way you've watched Messi.... in 2014 world cup Messi was most fouled player 24 fouls in 7 games. Gentile fouled Maradona 23 times in 1 game in the world cup Argentina vs Italy and got only a yellow card, he punched, tore Maradona's shirt, kicked, slide tackled from behind, shoulder tackled Diego into the advertising boards the lot. Messi would not be the player he is under those rules while Diego would be free to do more in todays rules. Both great players, one from the darkest nastiest era the other from protected and freed era, personally i feel lucky to have seen them both with Diego being the better in my view
@@Excecutioner147 Totally agree!!! Young viewers think that Messi is the GOAT but can't be compare in any sense with Diego. In that era the football was for MEN and nowadays the football is for BOYS.

He made a low team like Napoli win two Italian leagues and a UEFA Cup when Serie A was at his peak, he won the 1986 World Cup all by himself, won a intercontinental cup, Spanish league with Barça, Argentinian league with Boca,... There's no debate. Diego is the football GOAT.
I agree with everything you said, except one of your points. Do not undermine the rest of the '86 team - they were at their peak as well - you could argue that was due to Maradona, I will agree with you there, but the team was the other half of the equation.

It is as simple as that, Mike. No one was is or will ever be as big as Maradona.
He was not best player than Pelé and Ronaldo Phenomenon, but was great player!
This is true. I am a Messi fan but what Maradona did in '86 with a Argentina with relatively no other stars in the team, was out of this world amazing, he was truly a one man powerhouse. Lets not forget what he also did at Napoli, which was a team that was fighting the relegation spots when he joined.
Mbappe did the same
@@klaivertbego4398 france was one of the favourite, mbappe did not the same
@@klaivertbego4398 lollll no way
@@klaivertbego4398 Absolutely not.
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. I think we only saw about 30% of Maradona's true ability because of the rubbish rules back then. If Maradona played in today's era he would be way much more ahead of everyone else. We would probably see dozens of plays from him to the level of the "goal of the century" or some even better plays than that. That's how good he was
I decided to watch this video and then one with Messi's bids in 2022 in the World Cup. Maradona's moves are much more impressive, what he did to escape the fouls and stay on his feet was pure talent. With Messi you don't notice these types of moves, because today's football doesn't allow for so much toughness in the moves, today there is also an area around the main player. That's why Messi is not as physically challenged by the strength of opponents as Maradona. Messi is not at his peak in 2022, unlike Maradona who was at his peak in 1986. Messi, even though not as spectacular as Maradona, was as effective as, or even more so in 2022.
Man is speaking facts. And also said the most important thing. Prime vs near end of carrier. But both were incredible
Five penalties in 7 games
No he wasn't man, Messi was not the best for Argentina in ANY knockout stage game except against Australia. Against Netherlands: Dibu was the best Against Croatia: Julian Alvarez the best Against France: Di Maria like always in finals the best. If by effective you mean he played good then yes he did but Maradona was SPECTACULAR that 86. Hell I would say Matthaus 90 was better, Romario's 94 was better, Ronaldo's 98 was better, Ronaldo's 2002 was better, Zidane's 2006 was WAAAAAAY better, 2010 Xavi and Iniesta was better AND they deserve 2011 ballondor btw. 2014 is the ONLY one Messi had a better world cup. Hell now that we are at it Mbappe had a better world cup than Messi scoring 8 important goals. Why didn't he receive the golden ball just like Messi did in 2014 when he lost amd did nothing in the final???

I watched the World Cup in 1986. The world was in awe of what Maradona was doing. Maradona was a global event.
every touch he made was a brushstroke, he passed from being a footballplayer to being a true artist.
He was using his left foot to paint 🎨

For the players that played in his era, they know who was boss. Most people would agree if Messi & CR7 played in that era, they simply would not have had the longevity they have had and therefore success. This actually brought a tear to my eye.
As a born Brazilian ,it was my duty to hate on Diego ... As a Football fan i CANT deny how much i feared and later respected how insanely talented and how special he was in the field. I can say without ANY doubt i saw a single man win a world cup in 86 ,no defender could stop him, no goalkeeper could outsmart him , not even the judges could invalidate his plays. RIP El Pide de Oro.
Brillante comentario, me quito el sombrero

you cant hate the divine... this is what diego armando maradona is... very different than any other football player in history
you mean that goal maradona scored and judged "right" because england invaded someone? maradona is a political tool just like the 1986 tournament but for some reason people keep forgetting what maradona said or that "he alone" won that tournament because the reffs let it happen or that you dont play football without 10 others on the pitch Maradona is a political tool to control the people who love him. Great footballer but to many think he is jesus. Churches have statues of jesus removed because they want a statue of maradona sitting there... its beyond insanity for a guy who can kick a ball really well. "BUT YOU DONT KNOW WHAT HE DID FOR ARGENTINA!" Sure.
@@SkreltNL What point you are trying to make here? Its has no matter in the end of things. the 86 cup came and went ,Maradona was considered a genius before that and stayed the same until his death. The 86 Argentinian team had a VERY talented crew of players ,including beasts like Passarela and Burruchaga. If you didnt get my point when i said Maradona won the cup by himself as a figure of speech ,for how amazing he played, my guess you are taking it in bad faith. Also, I dont care if it was all a political plot to straight the low self steam of some nation ,if thats is your opinion,good for you.
The greatest of all time! Explosive pace, incredible strength, outstanding vision, tireless running, superb technique. The total package.

@@raider1297 Messi doesn’t have the strength and stamina that Maradona had. Keep in mind. Most of these games were played at noon. At the hottest time of the day. And Argentina played their games in Mexico City. At the highest altitude. 1.5 miles above sea level 🤓
@@light_angel.23 You're acting like Messi hasn't played in the physically most demanding era in the history of football. Back then players even drank and smoked while being active. It's always one for another. People will always look to discredit others if it doesn't fit their narrative.
@@raider1297 FIFA protects Messi. If you tackle him, yellow card. With Maradona, no! He was treated like everyone else. Notice how the only way to stop him was to tackle him. And look how many tackles came his way. If they had treated him like Messi, the other teams would finish with 8 players. They were trying to murder his legs. Messi doesn’t receive that kind of punishment. Football was more dirty then. The referees allowed more play. And look how Maradona avoids falling at all costs. Even after they foul him, he’s still going. What do we see today? Someone barely gets hit, and they fall to the ground like they were shot. All this flopping and acting BS
I agree, the Diego in 1986 was a momentary revolution. Second to none. I feel joy and I feel a deep sorrow remembering him in those days. Even more than when my thoughts go to the Iceman, the all times greatest football-artist. Diego just had a flame, a sparkling will and involvement, beside all his skills and creativity.
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👍
His second against England remains the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on a football field.
If you look at all the greatest players, they all have one thing in common, great balance. Look at the number of times in these highlights that Maradona manages to stay on his feet and finds a pass, or a shot on goal, after being butchered by a defender. It's unreal, the guy was from another planet

The fact that people have the audacity to compare Messi and Ronaldo to him is hilarious. Especially the tap-in merchant.
Sometimes i feel like being Maradonna. While playing chess 400 elo points above someone else. You can do whatever the fuck you want and get away with it while your opponent can’t fathom how he will get hurt next. Unstoppable force.
Now THAT is the BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME!!! And when they came after him, they always tried to hurt him. The refs didn't protect him. Not like the little cry babies now. They are so protected by the refs, and they still can't do what this player did. Then they cry and want everybody to only talk nice things about him. Like a little kid.

We all know words cannot describe Maradona. We will never see anyone like him again. At 26 years of age when you become the greatest in the history of the game.

Players that trained with Maradona say that he had more ability than we got to see on the football pitch. He was actually better than we think he was!
How?
That is correct...! There are only a few people that got to see him play (entertain) at his best. That was at Los Cebollitas... "The little onions" Diego was 10 years old when he traveled in two buses from Villa Fiorito to the La Paternal neighborhood, together with his friend Goyo Carrizo, to try out Argentinos Juniors. Francis Cornejo, the famous discoverer of him, coordinated the practices of the children's categories and decided to incorporate him into a '60 category group that was preparing to play the Evita National Games. As the teams could not register with the name of the institution, this group of children was called Los Cebollitas because most of them were of a small physical build. Maradona stood out for his remarkable soccer conditions and Los Cebollitas were champions in '74. Diego's team made history in amateur football: it was 136 games undefeated and earned the right to tour South America for the surprising game it played on the field.
@@sergio260671 he was born to play, in my home country they showed the series Los Cebollitas (back in 92 or 93 I don't remember exactly). It is the reason we got so interested in playing football aside from the neighborhood casual and spontaneous matches the older kids played daily. I remember my uncle telling me that the main character portrayed was Maradona. This guy is football master football genius and master play architect. Only player that comparte to him is Messi and Neymar ONLY in technique and football genius iq
@Vif Mrt thats not what he mean , what he was tryna say was , those players met maradona and play together in training and then theyre amaze that he actually better than what they thought he was , get it ?
Gary Lineker said that during an international friendly all Stars game Maradona did this stuff he does at 00:37 ten consecutive times and never had to change his spot. While Lineker himself and other 'all stars' could never do it more than 3 times max and the ball would move far ahead
2 seconds were enough for me to know that Maradona was a footballer genius
I am Messi fan but the class Maradona showed in the World Cup is out of the galaxy. Messi cannot match the supreme quality of Maradona. Maradona is the greatest player in the history of football. I don't believe in numbers of any sort but the class of Maradona makes me feel Messi is the 2nd in the list of goats........ Love Maradona.
Those 80's european players were dirty AF when it came to deffending and someone had to tell those koreans that this was a football world cup, not a taekwondo tournament! 🤣, it also looked like the italians had a lot of bitterness against him ( juventus, milan players much of them?🤣) , the bulgarians and the belgians could not even get near him, then the poor english.

yeah at least in 86 the creative players were a bit more protected than in 82. Maradona was butchered in the previous WC. Gentile, the italian defender who kicked the hell out of Maradona wouldn´t last 10 minutes nowadays

I can watch Maradona highlights for days! He was heavy and overweight, yet he was as fast as a rocket! This man was different, unique. His touches, runs, style were unique. He is the true GOAT, Messi is next.
The "three-toes" pass that gives at 2:32, is absolutely INFERNAL. It doesn't matter if he's considered the best of all times, or not. It does not applies to him. Forgetaboutit! What it's indisputable, is that he still is the most unpredictable player ever. He's by definition, the dynamic of the unthinkable.
