It should be noted that Maradona's heart is kept in the pathological anatomy department of the Buenos Aires police, but it seems that Argentina are willing to go so far as for Lionel Messi to finish his last World Cup with a trophy, in what will also be the first World Cup since Maradona's death in November 2020

. Mantasti, who initiated the campaign, told the Argentine media: "Out of love for Diego, in the upcoming World Cup we want to fulfill what we feel was his wish, we want Maradona's heart to fly with the team to Qatar. The goal is for Maradona's heart to accompany the team to the airport "Flying with her, being in camp in one of the rooms, on the bus, in the locker room, on the field, and if God and Diego will, seven games later also next to the long-awaited trophy."
