Diego Maradona, the legendary Argentine footballer, left for the heavenly abode today. The footballer passed away at the age of 60 after suffering from a cardiac attack. Diego was considered a master of his art and was an idol for many. He was broadly regarded as one of the greatest players ever and his pinnacle of honour came when he captained the Argentina national football team to glory at the 1986 World Cup finals in Mexico. Diego Maradona Dies of Heart Attack, Argentina Football Legend Passes Away Aged 60.

His greatness was captured in the form of a documentary by Asif Kapadia. Titled Diego Maradona, the film takes us on a journey revolving around the life of the legendary footballer and his rags to riches story. Asif Kapadia has managed to entwine several dichotomies that highlights one of the most celebrated and controversial soccer players in the world and tried to convey who he is an icon for all. We think its a documentary that any football fanatic should definitely see.
