MARADONA is the definitive new biography of a true global icon,
from world-renowned football writer and journalist Guillem Balague.
Diego Armando Maradona was widely acclaimed as a genius. One of the
greatest footballers of all time, he was also one of the most
controversial. In an international career with Argentina he earned
91 caps and scored 34 goals and played in four FIFA World Cups.
With his unforgettable 'hand of God' goal and unsurpassed second
one in the 1986 quarter-final against England, he captained his
nation and led them to victory over West Germany in the final in
Mexico. His vision, passing, ball control and dribbling skills, and
his presence and leadership on the field, often electrified his own
team's overall performance. Maradona's club career included
dazzling spells in his own country at Argentinos Juniors, Boca
Juniors and Newell's Old Boys, and in Europe with Barcelona, Napoli
and Sevilla. Yet his life was one of relentless media attention,
including tales of drug abuse and constant health issues. Based on
in-depth interviews and first-hand stories, Guillem Balague's
masterly biography represents a psychological and sociological
approach to the legend. This journey of exploration takes Guillem
to Argentina, Spain, Italy and Dubai. Along the way, he asks what
fosters such adulation, and how this adoration engendered a
self-destructive personality. Even after his untimely death in
2020, Maradona continues to fascinate: his divine status seemingly
preserved for ever.
