Diego Maradona

Diego Maradona remains the most iconic footballer in Argentine history, thanks to his legendary 1986 World Cup campaign where he scored five goals and provided five assists. His solo run against England—the Goal of the Century—is still celebrated 38 years later. Maradona led Napoli to its only Serie A titles in 1987 and 1990, a feat unmatched by any foreign player before him. His 34 goals in 91 international appearances include a record 8 goals in World Cup knockout stages.
