Every April 10, Boca remembers one of the most beautiful goals that Diego Armando Maradona has made in his extensive career as a professional footballer
.
That night in 1981, the Xeneize received River at the Bombonera and Pelusa was in charge of doing his thing against the mythical Ubaldo "Pato" Fillol.
The de la Ribera thrashed the Millionaire 3-0 and the Villa Fiorito born scored the last goal for his team, after dribbling the rival goalkeeper and scattering a defender almost to the inside of the goal.
With just a slight touch of the ball towards the back of the net, Maradona made the entire Bombonera delirious and left even the photographer who tried to portray that moment lying down.
Months later, Boca ended up becoming champion of the Metropolitan Tournament and Diego fulfilled one of his great dreams: to go around the Olympics with the shirt of the painting of his loves.
His memory and his legacy will be as eternal as that conquest.
