Mexico City Stadium

This guide centers on a single afternoon at Mexico City Stadium: June 22, 1986, when Diego Maradona beat the English goalkeeper to the ball in front of more than a hundred thousand fans, and a Tunisian referee who kept the match moving without objection. You'll hear what Maradona himself said afterward when reporters pressed him on the goal, and how that one sentence changed how the whole match was remembered. Minutes later, in the same game, he ran the length of the pitch past five defenders.
