Maradona was just that much of an icon to people that he will forever be held as huh.
Also I hate comparing eras, as players are more professional nowadays and the game is played much differently than before. Pitches are also much better than in the past, so it’s easier to do control, pass and shoot.
Something something Puskas and that Hungary team being really good. They would have won the final if Puskas wasn’t kicked off the field every game and there was normal refereeing in those days.
