به گزارش ورزش سه وبه نقل از ایسنا، درگذشت ناگهانی دیگو آرماندو مارادونا به دلیل حمله قلبی میلیون‌ها هوادار را عزادار کرد. گری کاسپاروف ستاره بی چون چرای شطرنج به درگذشت اسطوره فوتبال جهان واکنش نشان داد.



کاسپاروف در توییتی نوشت: دیگو مارادونا یک افسانه بود. دوستان آرژانتینی‌ام هرگز به من اجازه نمی دهند که فراموش کنم او متعلق به بوکا جونیورز بوده است! گل مارادونا در جام جهانی ۱۹۸۶ برابر انگلستان نماد زندگی اش شد که دست خدا و گل قرن بود.
