Claudio Paul Caniggia
, one of Diego Maradona's great partners in the Argentine National Team, was
"devastated"
by the death of Ten.
"I am devastated by the news, he
was my soul brother ...
I hope you understand, I have no words at this time. I just want to tell your family that I am with you in this pain," the former striker said on Twitter.
I am devastated by the news, he was my soul brother ... I hope you understand, I have no words at the moment.
I just want to tell your family that I accompany you in this pain.

Caniggia, 53, formed an unforgettable line of attack with Maradona in the team under Carlos Bilardo and
Alfio Basile
as technical director.
One of the moments most remembered between the two was Caniggia's goal, after Diego's move, in
the 1-0 victory over Brazil in the second round of the 1990 World Cup in Italy.
The striker and Maradona
met again at the end of their careers in Boca
, where they had a "little bit" in the remembered celebration of a goal scored by "Pájaro".
The remembered "piquito" of Caniggia and Maradona in Boca's 4-1 win over River, in 1996.
It was in July 1996, when Xeneize
thrashed River 4-1
in a superclassic played at the Bombonera.
On October 30, the day Ten turned 60, Caniggia had dedicated a message to him on Twitter: "Diego Armando, what more can I say, he
is the God of Soccer
. I love you, friend."
