Diego Maradona is considered by many to be the best footballer in the world.
He first played in his native Argentina, then went to FC Barcelona and finally moved to SSC Napoli in 1984.
He won numerous titles and led a life in a state of emergency: drug excesses, tax offenses, paternity suits.
Maradona's death on November 25, 2020 shook the football world.
Hundreds of thousands flocked to the presidential palace over a year ago to take one last look at their idol.
A mass hysteria that has never really subsided, also because there are still many unanswered questions about Maradona's death.
In the new episode of SPIEGEL Daily, host Juan Moreno speaks to Marian Blasberg, SPIEGEL correspondent in Latin America.
He says: “Maradona was always afraid that those around him would take his last shirt away.
Now, after his death, it seems to be showing that he should be right about that «.
