For the Argentines, Diego took with him a large piece of football to the skies.

For them, the sport will never be the same again.

Diego's death divides their lives into before and after, promising that nothing will return to the way it was after the punch they received last night to the stomach.

A punch that shook their soul and spirit, a punch that leaves them crying and sad and overwhelmed.

"I just do not believe, I am crushed," responded President Alberto Fernandez, who declared three days of national mourning.

"This is the hardest news we could have received."

Argentina cries in the wake of this news.

Many citizens took to the obelisk area of ​​Buenos Aires last night to say goodbye to their idol, listeners went on the radio and mourned the passing of the man who gave them moments of happiness that never returned, as TV channels rushed to organize Bezeq studios in memory of number 10.

One of them hosted Oscar Roger, who played alongside him in three World Cups, and had a hard time getting the news live;

"Damn it" he said;

"What we went through together, what he made us go through, the beautiful moments he gave us - he was the greatest of them all."

Cesar Luis Manotti, former Argentina national team coach added;

"It's breaking. I can not believe it. I'm devastated."

English Gary Lineker, who soaked up the famous "Hand of God" gate in 1986 tweeted;

"Without a doubt the best player of my generation and probably the greatest of all time. He had a blessed and complicated life. I hope he finds some comfort in the hands of God."

Cristiano Ronaldo also paid tribute to the Argentine when he wrote;

"Today I say goodbye to a friend and the world bids farewell to an eternal genius. One of the best ever. A magician who is second to none. You leave too soon, but leave a legacy without boundaries and a space that will never be filled.

Pele, who recently celebrated 80, also said goodbye in an exciting post;

"Very sad news. I lost a friend and the world lost a legend. One day, I hope we can play football in the sky."

The separations from Diego cross generations and sports and prove that Maradona has touched people as few, if any, athletes have succeeded.

Basketball players, tennis players, old-generation Argentines and those of the new generation who have never seen the same game with their own eyes, understand the magnitude of the loss.

"Thank you for everything you have given us," Manu Ginobili wrote, describing in a few words what many feel today.

Diego's lovers, many and varied, mostly thank him for what he has given them during his career.

They do not judge him for what he has done with his life, they are grateful for what he has done for their lives.

Because in his unique way, Diego Armando Maradona gave to Argentina, Napoli, Boca Juniors, and every team that came played and last night said goodbye to him with words of thanks, feelings and emotions that no one else gave them.

He represented them, understood them, gave them the right to feel strong, great, victorious.

Diego was the people, he was Argentina, he was football.

Now he is gone.

Thanks for everything.
