I do not remember when the world media recently said goodbye to an athlete who passed away prematurely.

True, it's just the beginning of the year that the whole world dealt with the death of Kobe Bryant, a former Los Angeles Lakers basketball player who was killed in a helicopter crash at age 44, but what's happening around Diego Armando Maradona's death is above and beyond.

The blackest, most painful and most glorious headline of all, echoed on the French Lakip gate: "God is dead."

No less and no more.

Maradona has never played in France and the country has the superstars of, such as Michel Platini and Zinedine Zidane, but the French newspaper expressed more than anything the feeling that ostensibly should belong only to the Argentine people.

The Italian Corriere dello Sera also expressed the many feelings in its headline: "Hello Maradona, you are the footballer", words that speak mainly to the people of Naples, the team from the poor south, who became thanks to the legendary number 10 from a small and ridiculous team to the champion.

El Pais was content with the words most identified with Maradona, when for what his picture kisses the World Cup he won in 1986, they wrote: "The Hand of God", a reminder of that resonant goal against England in the quarter-finals.

The English media, of course, also dealt with Maradona's death, and found it difficult to forget that "hand of God" that no football fan has ever heard of. 

"He's in God's hands now," the Daily Mirror did not hold back, "where was the VAR we needed most of all," the Daily Star chose to adorn the front page with the famous hand cover photo and garnered reviews.

The Guardian actually knew how to preserve the dignity of the dead and wrote: "Hello football genius", adding: "No footballer has dominated the World Cup like you controlled him."

Even on the Daily Express, the headline maintained objectivity: "Rest in peace with your eternal genius."
