On the anniversary of Diego Armando Maradona's death, the young right-winger Franco Mastantuono decided to pay a special tribute to him on social media. The former River Plate player posted a video in which he is seen sitting with his acoustic guitar, performing the song “¿Qué es Dios?”, by the band Las Pastillas del Abuelo. This song, which has for years become an emotional symbol associated with the figure of the popular idol, often appears on murals, pitches, flags, and spontaneous tributes throughout the country.
The clip, recorded in an intimate setting without production and obtained by the Argentine News Agency, shows Mastantuono playing and singing with evident emotion. The gesture quickly resonated with fans and joined the many tributes that are repeated every November 25, the date the captain of the 1986 world champion team passed away.
The choice of the song did not go unnoticed. On an emotional day, his tribute added to the thousands of messages that remembered the Argentine star and reaffirmed his eternal presence in popular culture.
The young footballer's performance was interpreted as a message of respect, admiration, and belonging to a figure who marked entire generations. Mastantuono's gesture also once again brought to light the connection between young athletes and the Maradonian legacy, an influence that transcends clubs, jerseys, and contexts.
