Argentina is commemorating the fifth anniversary of the death of its football legend Diego Maradona by issuing a special silver commemorative coin featuring the 'Goal of the Century', which he scored against England during the 1986 World Cup. This initiative comes ahead of the 2026 World Cup and coincides with the 40th anniversary of that historic moment. Meanwhile, football fans are recalling Maradona's influential statements from an interview he gave to the British newspaper Mirror in 2005. In it, he spoke openly about his early support for video technology, which would have disallowed the goal, his struggle with addiction, and his regret over distancing himself from his family. At the time, he said: 'I was consuming myself and exhausting my body, but life now is worth living all over again'.
