This was the first installment after the death of Diego Armando Maradona and there were high expectations for how they would remember it. The tribute was present and had the participation of Messi.
“When I found out about his death, I was at home. Before the news starts to come out, my father writes to me and asks me ‘Did you see Diego?’ passed away. I knew he was not well but not to the point that he ended up dying so it was terrible news “, were the words of Leo, while showing a video with historical images.
“I met Diego when I went to his program, La Noche del Diez, he came before the start, he greeted me and we talked for a little while. It was a spectacular moment. For me Diego, as for all Argentines, was the best “, added the current PSG player
“I had the opportunity to live with him, to have him as a coach at a very good stage of his life. He really enjoyed the games, the training sessions and the World Cup. It was a very good stage for him and for us too “, he sentenced.
