Maradona’s tournament — the “Hand of God” and the Goal of the Century in one game.
How it unfolded
Diego Maradona’s World Cup, full stop. In a single quarter-final against England he punched in the “Hand of God,” then slalomed half the team for the Goal of the Century — four minutes that held all of football’s beauty and cheek at once. Argentina lifted the cup.
