More than a month after the death of Diego Maradona, there are still data and situations that show what Maradona was. There is a record of Diego Maradona in the FIFA World Cup that is incredible and that it will be very difficult for Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or any other player to overcome.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi or Neymar are players who receive many fouls and many blows due to their great ability. Diego Maradona was the same as Messi or Neymar and received an unimaginable amount of kicks, but unlike football today, in Maradona's time they received much stronger fouls because the referees allowed it.
With the use of VAR and the new soccer rules, Messi, Neymar or Cristiano Ronaldo are much more cared for by the referees and that is why Maradona always ended up with his ankles destroyed. Diego Maradona not only has the record for the most fouls received in a FIFA World Cup, but he also holds second and third place.
In Mexico 86 Diego Maradona received 53 fouls during the entire FIFA World Cup and that record still no one could beat. The second place is also Diego Maradona with 50 fouls received in Italy 90. Finally the third place is for Diego Maradona with 36 fouls received in Spain 82.
