This might be the greatest video I have ever watched, my uncle is from Naples and I remember when I asked him why the Neapolitans loved him so much, what Maradona meant for him, he replied telling me about a free kick by Maradona from inside the area against Juventus, he said "I was at the stadium, the barrier was too close, there was no space ... it was impossible "he told me that Maradona was summed up in that freekick, that he was not an idol but something more, that he was capable of giving dignity to a people through football “Maradona was the hope, faith and embodiment of every Neapolitan " “In effect the closest thing to God I've ever seen "

To answer your title "Just how GOOD was Diego Maradona Actually?". He was simply the best, the most purely talented footballer I've ever seen. Some may have been close (Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi etc), but overall Maradona was a different level of genius. As an Englishman, I hated him for a couple of weeks in 1986, but that was just one moment in a career of superb achievement. RIP Diego and thank you for sharing your talent with the world and giving us so many moments of awe to remember. God bless.

I don't think I've ever seen a player with a better first touch, he was one of my childhood heroes. This was a very profound and moving tribute to a individual whose ability with a football was supernatural.

This man woke up every day and took on player after player as if he was eating and drinking. And he started it in his early childhood and proved to everyone who saw him that he was unstoppable. I have seen many promising starts who stuttered as they go along their careers facing wild beasts of defenders. Doing it once would be worthy of talk. Yet doing it again and again is insane. He was surely born with a very very rare x factor.

The perfect example of a man representing a nation. He wore his heart in his sleeve. Watching him play was like going back to the school days. So witty, talented and unnasuming guy. An anti hero. His fan base came from his humanity, his imperfections. God given talent and hard working man determination.

The best player I've ever seen, or will probably ever see in my life. An absolute magician with a ball and a joy to watch also. R.I.P Diego and thanks for the memories. D10S 🇦🇷⚽🇦🇷⚽🇦🇷⚽🇦🇷

I was 10yrs old when I first saw Maradona. 1980, Wembley, against England, BBC highlights. During the first half, he went on a dribble going past 4 or 5 England players. It made me get off my chair in awe at what I saw. No other player has ever made me stand up to their skill.

Diego Armando Maradona we don't know for many hundred years to come a man like you will be born into this world. I had spend most of my time watching stories about of you recently and one thing I can concluded "You are God`s person and had a good heart to everyone you met. RIP Maradona you are such a saint for World of Football"

The man was from another planet, he could do things with a football you couldn't even dream of doing.

One of my earliest memories was the 1986 world Cup when he dribbled past 5 English players and scored. Maradona was by far the best ever pure footballer. The incredible ability he had you can never really find today. Difference between him and Messi is that Maradona was the chosen one that God put his hand on. Maradona took a low par napoli team and made them win the Italian league and Cup. You would never see the likes of Messi or cr7 go to a below par team and make them brilliant. To put players in the same league as maradona one would have to do what he did. This will never be done again. Closest player to maradona with relation to skill was Ronaldinho. Rip el Diego. God is now showing you all th hearts you touch. Rip real number 10

The most gifted player ever. RIP DIEGO 💙 . YOU will always be remembered as the greatest footballer ever and by far .

Im 40 , and i remember maradona as i was english and a massive fan not a good combo ,but he made football magical. In his prime he was that good he wouldnt leave footprints in snow ,he treated the ball better then any1 who has ever played football. - - -- Well done mate this was a spot on documentary ,and well made 2. New sub.

This is the best biographic documentary on the life and times of Diego Maradona I have ever watched. Better than all those big budget movies they've made about him.

Hey guys, I put a lot of work into this one, I hope you enjoyed the added touch of getting my first thoughts for what was the biggest loss I've experienced in football and yeah, just I hope you enjoy and please make an extra effort to share some positivity and some stories about the big man in the comments, Hope you enjoyed and Rest in Peace Diego. PS: please vote as well, so I can add him to the ranking, here's the link: forms.gle/sWR8TToS2xFRU5td7

His performance at Mexico 86 was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Unmatched.

Dude... I can feel the pain through your words... I live near Napoli, here Diego was just a God... And even if I'm a Juventus fan, the worst Napoli's enemy, when I read about his dead I felt like if I was dead... He wasn't a football player... He was just THE football... We all miss you Diego... So much...💔❤️

Just how good was he? The best of them ALL !!!!

What a super Biography of Maradona. Well done. Your passion is visible through out the video. Enjoyed every bit of it.

Beautiful. I was living in Seville when he joined and saw that match vs Bayern. So happy I actually saw him live, I'll never forget that evening. He was the best I've ever seen...

The way you tell stories is second to none. I felt it. Thankfully, I saw him play and he was magical. My GOAT

Maradona was the ultimate one man team

I think it was Gary Lineker that said he had never seen anything like it. Maradona doing kick ups in the centre circle, but not your conventional kick ups! He was kicking the ball as high as he could, and then on the volley doing the same again.... multipul times. He was watching Maradona warm up for a match, and he was in awe of Diego's relationship with the ball. He described it as Maradona and the ball were one. He had never seen anyone with greater affection with a football! This coming from a professional footballer says it all!

Thanks for your work. Really Cheers from Argentina.

Honestly I've never cared for soccer, never really understood it being an American who's only mainstream sport I ever gave a shit about is basketball. Since finding your channel (literally a few hours ago) I've learned more about about the sport then I've ever thought I'd care to. But no lie, after hearing that Argentinian announcer while Maradona scored that goal against England in the world cup, I finally fucking get it man.

Legend has it that Diego is still winning championships in heaven!! Gracias Diego, Gracias pibe de oro. America's greatest!!

The GOAT!!! Undeniable. Thank you. Brings back great memories.

Once in a lifetime footballer - GOAT

Best ever player, no one came even close. Imagine him playing on today’s pitches and with the protection current players have from referees, pure genius.

Excellent documentary about the best to grace the pitch

Very, very nice documentary; you did a great job! It touched me; I loved Maradona.

Please don't apologize to for not being around during the highs of Diego's career. I was and, your video was magnificent. I'm getting old now, thus find my self reminiscincing a lot. Your content lifted my heavy heart. God bless you sir. Colin, from Scotland.

Thank you for making a proper documentary. Far too many forget how brilliant he was in the 1970s already.

He was untouchable.

A beautiful eulogy. Worth every minute. Thank you for doing this.

How the question is still being asked of "who is the greatest player of all time" is just crazy to me. The term Genius is over used. The man was a Genius. Second to NONE. A first touch that was poetry in motion. The greatest footballer of ALL time. Salute.

I have never felt boring when wacth Diego play football! He simply the best and no one may replaced him...he has alot of skills to teach any football star.

He gave the game a whole new layer of mysticism. Seeing him play would be an act of magic. The impossible became possible, and the teams that were the underdog of football would become champions. He gave people hope like no other

Awesome research and content. People only know him as a player, but the background, off pitch character, and personal lifestyle also matter in shaping greatness.

Quick answer=He was the best ever to touch a football.

That was a wonderful, touching tribute to the greatest player who ever graced the pitch.

Alongside Diego Armando Maradona you are so passionate about writing, voicing & editing. You are equally wonderful my fried the documentary maker. Love you 💕

The most colorful 'football human being' ever to graced this beautiful sport, love him hate him...he is so relatable...a hero and a villain both in argentina and italia..

I like your dedication to making documentaries, I like how you put yourself outthere and are not afraid to show passion. These are all things I really admire, you can be proud of that

The late Diego Maradona is simply a football god..He's inarguably the best and the greatest footballer of all time. No player come close. Maradona is football itself. Maradona is Maradona and no player can be like him..Diego Maradona is a Genius. People like him comes once in a lifetime. He's truly the greatest of all time. And Diego Maradona will never die bcos he is immortal. Rest on Armando Maradona. Rest on the god of football. Diego Maradona lives forever.

Muchas Gracias !! That was a very beautiful way to tell an amazing story. As a teenager I was leaving a few hundred meters from "La Candela" (Boca Juniors training facilities) and going to pick from the fence to see him and the team training was routine, yet I wasn't aware of the legend he would become.

May be because of the thumbnail but when I first saw the title I read "Just how GOD was Diego Maradona actually?". my thought - in football he was Zeus level.

As and argentine, Maradona was not just a Football player, the best there ever was, he brought us hope and happiness after really dark times. There's no way of explaining how much we miss him.

Incredible work with this bio. Such great detail and commenting. In addition to being passionate, you are also thorough, accurate, and clear. From start to finish a fantastic video that's reverent and truthful at the same time. Thank you for making this.

The magician...the legend.. the hand of God... love you Diego Armando Maradona.... player of the century scored the goal of the century.....greatest of all time....R,I,P....

Thanks for your very touching video from an Argentine ♥️🇦🇷 Some wise people have said those five minutes between the Hand of God and the Goal of the Century were his magnum opus, the art piece that truly defines the genius, and his entire character. "Rebellious, controversial, braggy even dirty; like the Hand of God" "Genius, brilliant, inspiring and unrivaled; like the Goal of the Century"

i am just 1 minute into the video and i am already having goosebumps not only because its diego but the way that u r delivering it sounds really sad and almost wants to make me cry. Maradona definitely was a national treasure and a treasure to the world of football

People nowadays talk about Messi or Ronaldo being the GOAT. All I can say to that is, you can't have seen him play. I was there, in the San Paulo in Napoli for the semi-final against Italy & the guy was still mesmerising, even though many would say he was past his best. As an Englishman, I watched both sides of him as he broke our hearts in Mexico, scoring what has to be the greatest goal of all time in a World Cup & like the guy said, everyone still applauded, because we all knew we'd been beaten by something special. The man was simply head & shoulders above anything I've ever seen on a football field.

His ability with a football has never been matched. The greatest footballer ever. Respectfully of course to all the other great players.

Fantastic video! I can feel your emotions specially in the beginning! Well done, this is one of the very best videos on Diego! Regarding Maradona, no one like him! Every single “challenge” on him, today would be a straight red, yet he kept playing. He was, he is, and he will ALWAYS be the greatest of all time, the GOAT 🐐! GRACIAS por todo DIEGO!!!!🙏😍

As a kid born in the 80s, Maradona was and is the best football player of all times for me. You can love him, you can hate him, but you cannot ignore him. The legend will live on. Thanks for the documentary. Nice channel, subbed ;).

Very well made documentary. It is very evident, no matter what the haters say, the fact is, Maradona lived like a King. No denying that. There was a child in him who never grew up, and that was the reason for how his life was.

Thank you for this video, just can across your channel, now I can’t leave, keep up the good job💪🏾

This man was a genius .Master of Football indeed .The man Loved Winning .

I did not see myself watching the entire documentary after accidently ending up here while watching a Messi video and while I have an exam, but here I am. RIP to a bright star and thank you for being one the best football youtubers out there.

Thank you. Diego Maradona will forever be in my heart. One of the greatest in my lifetime.

I'm 40, born and raised in Naples, a joung kid who grew up whatching D10S. Believe me, this guy is really talking about God. Cheers

I share a birthday with maradona my dad is from Naples my family possess a signed shirt from every team he played for. maradona is the true football GOAT and deserves every right to be called that. A true icon. R.I.P Diego Armando Maradona

I am from Naples, class 1969. This biography is bringing it all back. Thanks from my heart.

wow wow , beautiful ending ...well done bro ....

26:38 This is the stuff of legends. Young people don't understand that it's not only about skill, but about context.

Rest in peace, Diego Armando Maradona, the world lost best player, you're the best footballer, Inspirative, made me love the games till present. 🙏🇮🇩

Excellent video passionately narrated - well done! Maradona is, and will always be, the greatest football player of all time. There is no other player who has, or will, have such command of the ball with amazing and mesmerizing grace. R.I.P. D10S (1960-♾) 👑👑👑🇦🇷

This is the best documentary of any kind that I have ever seen ... it is so fitting that it is done for Maradona; the best in his business. Maradona would have approved of this documentary work. Well done!

MARADONA AND KAREKKA THE DUETS DURING 84 WE USED TO WAIT FOR THE MATCH ON COLOUR TELEVISION , FIRST TIME I SAW MARADONA IN WORLD CUP ... WE WERE ALL THE FANS OF MARADONA FROM THAT TIME ... I JUST LOVE HIM

Great documentary! Must have been difficult to read this a day after the end of his remarkable life,but you done an amazing job, well done. Rest in Peace Diego Love ❤From England

Amazing documentary! I got to see him play against Nigeria during the World Cup in ‘94, one of my fondest football memories of my life. Thank you for this amazing honor to him.

Thank you so much for his documentary. I can literally feel your emotions throughout the whole video. Best documentary I have ever seen about him. By far! Amazing job, thanks.

Congratulations for this great video. Thank you for making it and sharing it with the world! 🙏

R.I.P Diego Maradona, the greatest and talented football player ever!!

I have never commented in ur videos because I just sit back and enjoy it. But this is one of the best u have ever done and rightly so about the god of Naples.. I went through the full cycle of emotions- smiles, laughter, happiness, sadness and a bit of tear at the end. Maradona was beyond the race for the GOAT. So when we say Messi and Cristiano are the GOAT, we simply don't think of Maradona as part of that race. U did an amazing job.. bravo.

From media content perspective it is no doubt and credit to you bro for such a good work. The narrative and presentation of your documentary far away from armature. This is TV station standards and one day we wont be surprise if your channel will be showcased in any of mainstream media or clocking millions subscribers.

Cracking biography of the greatest footballer to have ever have played the game...RIP Diego Armundo Maradona...the.. GOAT....#10

He was simply the best! Thanks for making such a wonderful documentary. When he passed away it felt as losing a family member. We’ll never forget you Diego. God bless.

I enjoyed watching your video. It was so detailed. You did a fantastic job. I really like what you said at the “I hope I can tell me children about Maradona”. Great work!!!

What a jewel. One of the greatest things I've seen on Diegol. Surely he will never leave us, or at least, while football still exists. Awesome documentary.

I am a priviledged one, i have watched playing live, in the stadium, Zidane, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Figo, Beckam, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Ramon Diaz and Ariel Ortega, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, i was there in the stands watching. I Also watched playing, but on the TV, Kaka, Zico, Socrates, and Romario. The best football player i ever watched playing in the field, live, in the stadium was, and by far, Diego Maradona. You just cant explain how good he was, he was touched by the hand of god, i know it sounds like i am making a joke about mexico 86, but no, Maradona was truly gifted, it was some kind of magic, i dont know what it was, he was pure talent and class, above all of the rest, he alone could win a match, a world cup, its as simple as that, people couldnt take the ball from him, not one on one, not even 3 or 4 on one, he was magical. Maradona, on his prime, was the best ever. The best ever, the greatest among the great.

Superbly made documentary. Great narrative and story telling of the god of football

Amazing work, wonderful words, one of the best tribute videos out there. Keep it up.

Such a deep video. I can tell u made this with special ingredient. Its different from the other similar( which i enjoy truelly). Thank you my friend

Fantastic - bravo on your work ❤️ He was and is the GOAT

Diego doesn't need a score , people just know 🔂

Thank you for putting all that together it's appreciated

This is the video I subscribed too, fantastic work 💙

Keep up the work bro, love watching your videos 💯

Deep words. Thank you from Argentina.

this video is truly touching. You honored the legend with every word, every expression. Thank you for that. Thanks for this great channel.

oh friend! As soon as I started watching your documentary I was already moved! The passion for soccer and for Diego is felt in your words... I am Argentine, I am 49 years old. Diego is a unique feeling, for his football, and for what he means to us as Argentines. I know that Maradona would have loved your video friend! Thank you!

Great vid as usual, the answer to your question is simple: How good he was? The best, plain and simple.Watched live his incredible goal against England at WC 86 and could not believe it .....he was a legend

Thank you for this clip. Gracias Diego. I will also tell my kids about Diego Armando Maradona 10

Imagine he is playing this days with all the protection that the players have & all the tech that records everything. Thank you for this video Watched it will tears on my eyes as he was my hero as a kid.

Thanks for this. It was wonderful. ❤️

Rip Maradona 🥺😭😭😭

Your commentary is really heartfelt and a great tribute to Maradona. I first saw him in the early 1980s and he was already brilliant but 1986 is a year etched in global football consciousness because of his immense performances in Mexico. From then On we all knew he was the best. His training videos alone are a gift! But he played with a love for the game few could imagine. He WAS football.

What passion you have! Inspiring and well done

Nice work dude. Keep it up
