The forward of the Argentina national team and the American Inter Miami remembered the award of his legendary compatriot.
Lionel Messi remembered Diego Maradona in his speech after winning the Ballon d’Or. The American Inter Miami striker said he dedicated his record eighth award to his legendary compatriot.
“I want to remember Diego. Today is his birthday. And there is no place like this, where there are so many footballers, to remember him. He wants it.
Wherever you are, happy birthday Diego. It’s for you too, I share it with you,” Olé quoted Messi as saying.
Let’s remember that Maradona died on November 25, 2020 at the age of 60 due to acute pulmonary edema caused by chronic heart failure.
