Diego Maradona wore a “No Drugs” jersey during a match in 1991 after returning from a 15-month suspension following a positive test for cocaine. Diego Maradona became a global icon not only for his extraordinary ability on the pitch but also for the dramatic highs and lows that defined his career. After serving a 15-month suspension in 1991 following a positive cocaine test while playing in Italy, he returned to football in Argentina wearing a shirt emblazoned with the words “No Drugs” during one of his comeback appearances. The gesture was widely interpreted as a public acknowledgment of his personal struggles and a sign that he hoped to move forward. His return attracted enormous attention from fans and the media, underscoring his unique place in the sport. Despite the controversies that followed him throughout his life, Maradona remains one of football’s most celebrated and influential figures.

The ball with which Diego Maradona scored his iconic HANDBALL GOAL against England at the 1986 World Cup could be sold for MORE than $10 million at auction in the United States at the end of August, RMC sport reports.

I don't know if it's a hot take, but in my opinion Mbappé is not and will not be in the same conversation as Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and even Neymar. I'm 24 so I can't compare him to the likes of R9, Maradona, Pelé, Zidane. But all of the players I named make their teammates better or make them win. I don't care how many goals Mbappé scores or how many individual records he breaks; he will never be considered a GOAT.
