Warriors on the football field: the pride of Argentina
The 1986 World Cup, for Maradona, was not only the pinnacle of personal glory, but also a symbol of national pride. That year, Argentina's rivalry with England was particularly eye-catching, and the match was more like a battle for national honor than just an ordinary football match.
The atmosphere on race day was full of tension and anticipation. As captain, Maradona was well aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. In the pre-match locker room, his teammates had their own hearts and minds, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Overcoming Challenges: Honor and Controversy
Despite Maradona's numerous glories on the football field, his personal life was full of controversy and challenges. The legend of the pitch faced a series of personal challenges after stepping off the pitch, the most serious of which was the punishment he received for using banned drugs in 1991 and 1994.
In 1991, when the banned drug scandal first erupted, Maradona's world collapsed seemingly overnight. He was banned for 15 months for cocaine use. This is undoubtedly a huge blow for an athlete at the peak of his career. Maradona's reputation was severely damaged, and many of his supporters and fans were shocked and disappointed.
However, even in such low times, Maradona maintained the image of a hero in the hearts of many. His football skills, his passion for the game and his desire to win are memories that cannot be erased.

In the face of these challenges, Maradona showed his indomitable spirit. Although his career was severely affected, he never gave up his love for football. During his ban, he began to reflect on his life and career choices, seeking to regain people's respect and love.
'I made mistakes but I'm still a footballer and I love football. Maradona said in an interview.

The old age of the football king: the last stage of life
At the end of his life, Maradona's physical condition was noticeably weakened, and the football king who had been galloping on the green field was not as good as before.
In 2020, when he celebrated his 60th birthday, every public appearance of him was particularly precious. Despite the health challenges, Maradona did not give up his love of life and continued to be actively involved in philanthropic efforts to help the disadvantaged in Argentina.
November 25, 2020, was a day that started out very ordinarily for Maradona. In the morning, he walks in the courtyard, enjoying the fresh air and warm sunshine.
