From Maradona's rifle anecdote to Boca's exile and his disagreement with Ruggeri: Cacho Córdoba, the man behind Diego's best goal to River

It's almost customary for him. Although he follows Boca from the United States, where he settled in the 80s, before each Superclassic someone draws his attention by reminding him of the extraordinary play he made before Maradona left Fillol crawling on the mud of the Bombonera. Diego's exquisite definition was engraved in everyone's retinas, but if the play is rewound, Carlos Córdoba has nothing to envy to Diez. Exclusively with Infobae, a few days before the Boca-River that will be played at Monumental, the former footballer xeneize shared his memories.

Diego Maradona

When it comes to debates on the greatest football players of all time, the list is often only two names long: the Brazilian legend Pelé and the one they called the El Pibe de Oro, Diego Armando Maradona. When compared purely on their skills and accomplishments, choosing one of them becomes almost impossible. After all, that's why they both won the FIFA Player of the Century award. There is, of course, another Argentinian golden boy, Lionel Messi. A discussion about who could be considered the best are placed in the last part of this biography.
