Some teammates of the Argentina team that won the World Cup in 1986 gathered today in the cemetery and visited his tomb for around half an hour, given they had not been able to attend the exclusive funeral because the family of the former player invited a small group of people.

The other, asked for Maradona himself some years ago, said ‘Thanks to the ball’. He had told in a TV show in 2005 he wanted that sentence carved on his tomb when he died.
