Maradona’s Final 100 Days — Inside the Decline That Killed a Legend

On October 30th, 2020, Diego Maradona walked onto a soccer field in Argentina for the last time. It was his 60th birthday. He could barely stand. Two men had to hold him up. 100 days later, the greatest soccer player most of us ever saw with our own eyes was dead. This is the story of those 100 days. The slow disappearance of a legend. The brain surgery. The rented house in Tigre where he spent his final two weeks. The defibrillator that wasn't there. The daughters who say they were locked out. The morning of November 25th. And the seven medical professionals who, five years later, are still on trial for what happened inside that bedroom. If you grew up watching him in Mexico in 1986 — the Hand of God, the Goal of the Century, the curly-haired kid who humbled England by himself — this video is for you. If you remember crying when you heard the news on November 25th, 2020, this video is for you. And if you've ever watched somebody you love disappear slowly, while you stood there unable to do anything about it, this video is especially for you. This is not the highlight reel. This is the part of the story that hurts. The 100 days that, even now, more than five years later, Argentina is still trying to make sense of.

As of this recording, those proceedings remain unresolved. All defendants have denied any wrongdoing, and a retrial is scheduled. Nothing in this video should be taken as a determination of legal guilt — that is for the Argentine courts to decide. This is a tribute to a flawed, brilliant, complicated man, and to the people who loved him. Diego Armando Maradona. October 30, 1960 — November 25, 2020. Gracias a la pelota.
