Napoli is simply different. Maradona received another tribute from the fans, who presented the news in style

Diego Maradona would have celebrated his 63rd birthday on October 30, 2023. Apparently, this occasion was also marked by another great tribute in Napoli, prepared by the local fans for the late legend.

In Naples, he is forever a god. No one personified the city as much as he did. Diego Maradona became an immortal legend under Vesuvius and will never be forgotten here.

He turned a mediocre club into one of the best clubs, and not just in Italy, after his arrival in the summer of 1984. He won two league titles with Napoli and also dominated the UEFA Cup, the Italian Cup and the Super Cup.

To this day, he is still considered one of the best footballers in history. In addition to Napoli, he played for Barcelona, Boca Juniors, Sevilla, Newell’s Old Boys and Argentinos Juniores.

Partenopei fans revere him like no other. After all, in addition to leading the team to trophies, Maradona also broke many records that were difficult for new stars to break.

In total, the Argentine played 257 competitive games for Napoli, scoring 115 goals and adding 68 assists. For a long time, he was the top scorer in the club’s history, but now Marek Hamsik (121 goals), Lorenzo Insigne (122 goals) and Dries Mertens (141 goals) are ahead of him.

There was extreme sadness under Vesuvius when he died on 25 November 2020. Maradona was a legend all over the world, his death affected all football fans. But most of all those in Naples.

The city has many murals, mural paintings if you will. Maradona can be found practically at every turn. And now he has a new tribute, presented in style by the fans. There were fireworks and the iconic song Go West.

Among other things, Maradona has a life-size statue right outside the Naples stadium, which is named after him.
