The jersey that Diego Maradona wore to the 1986 World Cup remaining was again in Argentina’s fingers on Thursday, because of German nice Lothar Mathhaus.
Mathos, who swapped jerseys with Maradona at halftime for the ultimate received by Argentina in Mexico, returned the historic garment at a ceremony on the Argentine embassy in Madrid. The shirt can be displayed at a brand new soccer museum within the Spanish capital. “It was always a great honor to play against him,” Mathos stated of the late Maradona via a translator. “As a participant and an individual, he was at all times essential to me. He will at all times be in our hearts.” Matthaus stated he exchanged jerseys with Maradona after the 1990 World Cup remaining received by Germany in Italy.
He stated the shirt was in a museum in Germany. Maradona wore it towards England within the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup, when he scored the controversial “Hand of God” objective, which offered for greater than $9 million at a web-based public sale. Sotheby’s in May, the very best worth ever paid at public sale for a bit of sports activities memorabilia.
Matthaus was introduced with a plaque on the Argentine Embassy in honor of his contribution to his soccer profession and sporting values.
