They were eternal rivals but Michel Platini revealed that Diego Maradona did something incredible for him

Michel Platini and Diego Maradona were two players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are currently. While Maradona was in Napoli and Platini was in Juventus, the matches were twice as attractive due to the great rivalry between them and between the fans. That rivalry did not take away the opportunity for Diego Maradona to help Platini when he needed it most.

Michel Platini confessed that when he faced Diego Maradona in Naples and he was having a very bad family moment, the Argentine player approached him at the end of the game and told him that whatever he needed he could call him at any time of the day. Diego Maradona's gesture did not stop there and Michel Platini explained what he did.

After giving him several caresses, Michel Platini commented that Diego Maradona told him that he had booked a hotel in Turin so that he could visit him during the week. That was exactly what happened and Diego Maradona traveled to accompany Platini in his hard personal moment. Platini confessed that after that he realized how great Diego Armando Maradona was.

They were eternal rivals on the pitch but outside the stadium, Diego Maradona showed Michel Platini the quality of person he was. That gesture by Diego Maradona towards Michel Platini will never be forgotten by the former Juventus player and that is why he also said that there was not and will not be any player like Diego Maradona.
