Maradona: The Tragic Genius
Everybody knows the name Diego Armando Maradona.
The man of great achievements, beautiful dribbles, and numerous challenges. He overcame the odds to rise above everyone else in the world of Football, but at what cost. There is always two sides to the Maradona story. A story on the pitch, and another one off of it.
This is the story of Maradona, and how he added his eternal mark on Football.
From his beginnings with Argentinos Juniors and Boca Juniors, to his challenging and tough stint with Barcelona in Spain. From his international struggles in the 1982 World Cup, to his triumph and rise to the Football summit after the 1986 World Cup. From his highs and lows at Napoli and the 1990 World Cup, to his drug problems and doping test failures later on in his career.
All of this and much more will be discussed in this long episode.

Roma: The Path to the Third Scudetto (1983 - 2001)
This guy was a cheater and a junkie. He had the balls to say shit about Messi. I guess Messi should've been snorting coke and scoring goals with his hands.
Berlusconi's mafia and the Torino scumbags robbed Inter from many titles. As a kid I can sense the injustice because there were lots of rumors about Berlusconi doing shady deals. God knows how many teams were robbed in italy and Europe because of Berlusconi's influence. Remember, this man didn't just have connections and political power in Italy. His influence extended well beyond italy. Milan has a history of fixing matches and they have been relegated in the 80s the fact that Inter has never been relegated from Seria A speaks volumes about their integrity
Used to watch Italian football in the 90s and 00s on channel 4 UK :) This documentary give real nostalgia. Great video! Thanks 10/10 (Forza Milan!)
21:08 knocked out
ive never felt happiness or any glee when a great sportsman or actor or celebrity passed in death. To hear someone great passed away, was always a somber moment, as if an age ended. But Mardonna's death brought me glee. he was a nasty human being. Plus, Argentines worshipped him like a living god, something I found to be so backwards and primitive. There were many true verified stories of his drunken orgies and being a nasty person towards the public, and pretending to be a champion for the poor, when he was hoarding millions. He also loved communism, an oppressive idealogy that keep millions in poverty if not starving. He was a huge contradiction, he hated money and capitalism but loved having mansions, hated America, but loved dollars. He preached to everyone the importance of love but was such a hater, so volitile. You reap what you sow, he died like a pig.
Extraordinario, gracias
best of the best goat, mr champion league, mr ballandor, best goal scorer, GOAT
It has been a long time you made a video
Best video, masterclass , I'm realizing that it's very difficult to choose what to put on the video, there's too much stuff to include
Waiting on the vid about me still
You’ve got to do the 1998/99 premier league season
🇮🇱
uno di noi means One of us not what you translated!
Look at drury ' s commentry after 28 years he still sounds like same as 96
Imagine getting hated by your idol. Never had it easy
Cristiano Renaldo- His name implies that he came from a Christian background? Christ- Christian- Cristiano. Can anyone shed light? “And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. ” Acts 11:26
Pls do Monaco path to the Champions League final in 2004
Same like with Elvis or any other superstar.. its hard to live with that. What he went through with fame and all the pressure and drama around him and still managing to play like he did... he was the best
Barcelona was wanting Ronaldo?
Love the opening. Fantastic video!
It’s crazy how Madrid media brain washed all those “soccer fans”
Will Roma ever win another scudetto. Theyve seemed content for medioxrity for years now.
Wonderful documentary. Liverpool were the best team that season. Real cheated Chelsea (The Alonso goal).
What is the name of the song
you should make a documentary about Luka Modric, especially because of his childhood and excellent career, I think it would be very interesting and you will make happy bigest football country and most biggest football fanatcs in europe🎉🎉
Fahad , I’ve been watching your documentaries nonstop the last three days. They are absolutely fantastic especially the Italian ones. What a time to be alive.
I came to realize the guy who owns this channel is actually a Palestinian
We never hear Rivaldo’s name mentioned anymore. He is easily in the top 15 players in history
Even the greats get treated badly at ths end of their careers
Please make more videos
You Are The Champion Of Football Content ❤❤
What genocide?
Don Revie never won a European Cup. Clough has two of those. We know who won in their particular duel x
Wonderful as ever. I love this channel x
Why did u skip the "Figo being thrown a pig's head" part? I thought that's an iconic incident that deserves to be put into a documentary like this?
I know reymar, daily dose of football and others Few Guys Content but u r the best balon ❤❤❤
Overated❤
Brother - that breakdown is so good. Much respect to you.
Milito was an exceptional striker .Zanetti services to Inter Milan would never be forgotten. Even though I support Barca but I was delighted for inter and Zanetti. Milito should have been given more chances by Argentina.
Thank you very much for uploading this. Great work!
Song at 3:42 ?

3 scudetto in 100 years? Embarrassing for a great city like Rome…
Who would have thought that Spurs have actually been in some of the toughest Champions League/UEFA Cup tournaments and performed well? The 60-61 double team lost in the European Cup semis to a Benfica with Eusebio. Spurs defeated 3/4 giants in the 18/19 Champions League season (Dortmund, Man City, Ajax) but lost to Liverpool in the final. Plus winning the tough 1984 UEFA Cup, that's not a bad record at all.
