Meh, calling it a disease is disrespectful to people with real diseases. He couldn't handle the pressure and fame (which I can really understand). He couldn't go anywhere without thousands of people following and harassing him. Tragic story nontheless.

@@remyholland8522 i agree

A legend but was his fault

@@octavius8562 i agree 100%....he made bad choices. He had fame and fortune too young and couldn't cope with it.

The real disease was hes ego

Looking for likes from the death of a legend

@@jediahamccraigon9882 Wait what? So people aren't allowed to look up a documentary about someone they liked anymore?...

Dont be a vulture ..What will you get after getting likes from the death of someone?

@@vertigo1971 It’s ok his struggles were (allegedly) with coke, hookers, and a huge sense of entitlement (personal ego). It’s only sports.

@@Raghibk Firstly, are you talking to me? If so, I don't give a good God damn how many likes my posts get, I'm not that insecure.

Great

Not acknowledging his own son is truly a sign of perfect life which only your kind enjoy.

Perfect, but has flaws? 😂 counterintuitive contradicting statement

Maradona was the John Daly of soccer. Instead of nurturing his immense talent he chose to waste it on drugs, putas, etc. In the end he died a bloated parody of himself.

....hopefully this comment doesn't age horribly after Sunday

Messi has equaled Diego if not surpassed him.

@@dvdmoreno2010 leo is my fav so Happy for him

@@junaidhabeeb081 surpassed tbh Maradona never won the copa

Agree 💯 I heard years ago he was a big time cokehead drugs definitely were his downfall sad to say that's why drugs are horrible

Kun Aguero ....RIP Maradona

Of course it's a weakness of character. That's why you fall into it in the first place. It's not a virus you catch inadvertently. It's the result of decisions you make.

@@piscesman54 If you would take 5mins to Google to find out addiction of any kind is classified was a *disease*. It's genetic, same was being born gay or with a food/animal allergy...

@@vertigo1971 The science regarding that is not settled, whatever Google says (you do know that Google is not the Bible, don't you?). But even if it were a disease, if you're like most people, when you get sick, you do whatever is necessary to overcome your condition, or if it's incurable, you at least try to mitigate it. Maradona did not only do neither, he flaunted it, and at times even bragged about it and made all kinds of excuses for his misbehavior, for cheating (the "hand of God" is a classic example). It's typical of addicts to avoid taking responsibility for their actions. That's why in any rehabilitation program, the first thing they do is give you small but consistent responsibilities. that you need to take care of. But in Argentinean society, once you become a god-like figure, you are immune to everything and all your sins will be automatically forgiven, overlooked, or sometimes, even celebrated. THAT, my friend, is a real disease, and one that is very hard to overcome, because it's collective. In any event, Maradona's greatest addiction was not cocaine, but constantly needing to be the center of attention to feed his narcissim. And to a large extent, that is thanks to the society that elevated him to that god-like status.

Beautifully stated....👍👏👏

🤣

Good one😂

Like all addicts he hated being an addict

Greetings brother

really? did not know that

Can you imagine the talent in his son. Both Diego and Aguero genes.

Wtf

@@mickeywonders3764 yo Diego was a God

Hi there, you might find some of the videos on the playlist on my channel interesting to watch..

lol

@@josephabril5655 lol a man died

@@meowthteamrocket9347 ?

Exactly.why did he treat himself so badly.

@fcoroodn well said brother ✌️ I hate that word junkie. Maradona was a genius who cares about records he was the most beautiful footballer ever. He was a street footballer played with freedom, love, passion...love from Ireland bro 🇦🇷✌️

Well we were cheated out of a World Cup final...

@@RonaldRaygun53 No , you had 90 minutes to score another 2 goals to win the match which you didn't. And luckily for you the referee from Tunisia was blind as England should of had 9 player's remaining at the end of the match.

@@jacklangus9092 Scottish I presume lol 😂

@@RonaldRaygun53 No , Irish/Scottish grandparents yet born Whipps Cross , N . London.

@@jacklangus9092 that’s a hell of a combination hahahaha

Best comment on the thread.

Omg !!! Your absolutely right!!!!

So says the expert on addictions

Maradona was in different league .. he spoke for people off the field and for players inside the field .. he had greater impact on people than messi .. best players always choose best clubs to be part of .. maradona choose Napoli and change the city forever .. that was his impact .. I have huge huge respect to messi

If you think that then you truly don’t know football and the greatness and real effect Maradona had and still has on the game and the ppl.

@@anigowda3802 May be prime Maradona was better. But come on Messi is doing it for 15 years and still competing in top top level each year. Overall i it's Messi greater.

What Maradona did for Napoli, don't think Messi could have done with a club which was lowest in the league. Messi a king, Maradona the emperor. Messi is statistics, Maradona is an emotion....

Cmon let's stop this Messi and maradona shouldnt even be a conversation because we can't compare players from different eras we do not know what will happen if maradona comes back to his prime in 2020 or we cant say what will happen if Messi goes back to his prime in 1980

Yeah I heard he was a big time cokehead sad

No .Coke is an opent stimulating .

Huge respect to messi.. no one made an impact as maradoma did.. ask people of Napoli ..

Really? So we should all become addicts? What a load of crock.

They won the World Cup buddy

Yet deago look down on him... Not suppose to be as a role model or icon for Argentina

They're both legends no need to compare Maradona obviously had a lot of demons Messi on the other hand came from a loving supportive family pretty straight laced didn't experience the same poverty and discrimination Maradona did can't compare them

Aguero

yup
