His death has thrown all and sundry into mourning as pictures of fans shedding tears in Buenos Aires flood social media.
Diego Maradona’s sudden demise remains a monumental loss to his country people, Argentina, and the world at large.
The FIFA World Cup winner was confirmed dead Wednesday, November 25, about 13 days after leaving the hospital following his brain surgery.
Maradona was said to have undergone an operation earlier this month to remove a blood clot in his brain – a process that went without complications.
Pictures show mixed reactions to the death of the former Barcelona and Napoli legend as some were seen shedding tears, a few were sobbing and others celebrating the legend’s legacy.
Almost everyone had something worn to pay lasting respect to the god of soccer in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
Maradona played in four FIFA World Cups and led them to triumph in the 1986 edition of the competition but have since then not had the chance to lift the title.
Lionel Messi made attempt in 2014 as they got to the final but were beaten by Germany by a Mario Gotze extra-time goal in Brazil.
Meanwhile, tributes from across the globe have been trooping in with top football superstars and legends sending their condolences.
