“You will never be forgotten”: Cristiano Ronaldo mourns the loss of Maradona
Cristiano Ronaldo meets Maradona

Cristiano Ronaldo paid his respects following Maradona’s demise yesterday due to cardiac arrest. Maradona is rightly in consideration to be one of the greatest players in a football pitch. We only think of Pele, Ronaldo and Messi in terms of rivals for Maradona’s achievements and this is the biggest testament of his ability. However, he will always remain ahead of Messi and Ronaldo due to the fact he won a World Cup for his country in 1986. Moreover, the ability of Maradona to take a significantly weaker Argentina team to a World Cup is pretty much unmatchable. Nevertheless, this also makes us realize that how much little time we have left to enjoy Ronaldo and Messi before they retire.

Ronaldo like the rest of the world mourned the demise of Maradona and said, “Today I say goodbye to a friend and the world says goodbye to an eternal genius. One of the best ever. An unparalleled magician. He leaves too soon, but leaves a legacy without limits and a void that will never be filled. Rest in peace, ace. You will never be forgotten.”

Maradona always considered himself to be the greatest. Moreover, speaking to India Today in 2017, he had said, “To be honest, I find Ronaldo’s comments very funny. How can Cristiano Ronaldo talk about being the greatest when I am here. But I don’t blame Ronaldo because he is scoring goals. When I scored the goal against England in 1986 World Cup, I thought there can never be another player like me.”

The debate for the greatest player ever will go on for a long time and will depend on the preference of different people. Nevertheless, nobody will be able to take his place in football history. This is because he leaves behind a wonderful legacy sprinkled with unreal goals, dribbles, skills and plethora of trophies.
