What would the legend of the past think of this?
The youth team of Argentina played tonight (between Monday and Tuesday) against the academy team of Valencia as part of a youth tournament in memory of Diego Armando Maradona.
But since then everyone has been concentrating on only one thing: the statue presented in memory of the actor who died at the age of 60.
In a ceremony held before the game, the portrait of the Argentine was put on display by his creator, Rafa Perry.
The excitement was great, but the network chose to cut down the statue, which, to be honest, doesn't look very realistic.
Among the many reactions received on the post on Twitter of the Argentinean association: "It's all good that they pay him respect but what is it?", "Is it a tribute or a punishment?", "Didn't anyone see this disrespect before presenting it?", " It's not Diego, it's a monster."

The statue of Maradona of course also made us remember the one that was made in honor of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2017 in Portugal, when it too became an object of ridicule due to the striking lack of resemblance between him and the player.
Ronaldo's statue.
