Diego Maradona went from poverty in Buenos Aires to lifting the World Cup at Mexico ‘86. In 1987 he took an unfancied team – Napoli – to champions of what was then the world’s greatest league, Serie A, again leading them to the Scudetto three years later, along with a Uefa Cup and a Coppa Italia. His fame transcended sport, but came at huge personal cost. Marcela Mora y Araujo is in Buenos Aires to tell us what Maradona’s death means to Argentina.
