This Friday Euro 2020 began with a resounding 3-0 victory for Italy, one of the host countries of the competition, against Turkey. And for that to be possible, a lot had to do with the brilliant performance of Lorenzo Insigne. The Napoli player scored the third goal but, in addition, he was also key at all times since he was one of the most outstanding players.

And to shine in Italy, Lorenzo Insigne has as main references two of the best players of all time: Diego Armando Maradona and Lionel Andrés Messi. Just remember what he said last year, when his Napoli faced Barcelona for the Champions League, where he lavished praise on both of them.

"Currently Messi is the best in the world, but I do not compare him with Maradona because for us Neapolitans Diego is sacred. At this moment Messi is the best of all," said Insigne.

Lorenzo Insigne is "Maradoneano"

Diego Maradona is the best player that Napoli had in its history. And after his death was known on November 25, 2020, Insigne decided to honor him with an impressive tattoo.

The Italian footballer decided to illustrate his left leg with the figure of the Ten celebrating a goal with the Napoli shirt on, with an impressive level of detail.
