The memory and tributes to the Argentine star multiplied on social networks, where the Professional Football League (LPF) of the South American country published an animated short that reviews his achievements and famous phrases and is accompanied by the message “We miss you, Diego… Thanks to you forever. And, yes, thanks to the ball”.
Who also remembered him was the Argentine soccer team, which shared a video of its former captain and former coach along with the phrases “four years of unprecedented love” and “we will never forget you.”
Maradona was also remembered by numerous players, including his compatriot Lionel Messi, and by different clubs he played for, such as Boca Juniors, Newell’s and Gimnasia y Esgrima of Argentina, Italian Napoli and Spanish Sevilla, in addition to the official accounts of The Spanish League and the FIFA World Cup.
On the other hand, his relatives published a message on the former player’s official account on the social network Instagram, in which they remembered him with love and demanded justice for his death.
His daughter Gianinna Maradona used that same platform to remember her father and sent a harsh message in the face of the trials for his death: “You didn’t die, they killed you. Justice will be done, I swear to you.”
The Argentine Justice plans to begin next March the trial against the team that took care of the former soccer player in his last days, which is being investigated for alleged medical negligence.
