What if we told you that Diego Armando Maradona came back to life?
Okay, so it didn't actually happen, but we found something very close to it.
27-year-old Eve Cohen from Tel Aviv is a professional make-up artist and content creator on the web.
In the spirit of the World Cup that is driving the world crazy these days, she decided that the Albiceleste needed reinforcement - and took action.
Cohen wore a wig, did her makeup as only she knows how, also equipped herself with a ball, and copied the maestro's iconic dance.
"In the World Cup atmosphere, I thought together with my partner Tamir, an avid soccer fan, what could be done in honor of the World Cup games - and he showed me the Maradona video," Cohen tells us.
"From that moment it was clear to me that this was going to be a perfect reconstruction of the scene."
"I went down to the Carmel market to buy an Argentina shirt, a ball, socks and a wig," adds Cohen about the process, "I drew his facial features - and everything kind of flowed from there. My ball skills are great, but the person who was responsible for Maradona's original movements was Tamir ".
So how long did it take Yves to fulfill a dream for millions of Argentines and give Maradona his pulse back?
"An hour and a half of makeup and another hour and a half of editing," she says with a broad smile.
We only have to enjoy again 20 seconds of one of the greatest footballers in history.
