Photo of the Day | Maradona alongside Rock Band Queen..
1981! Maradona is wearing Freddie Mercury’s British flag shirt, and at the same time he is holding the sticks of drummer Roger Taylor in his hands.
On the other hand, Freddie Mercury is wearing the Argentina jersey….
It is a photo during the closing concert of “Queen” in Buenos Aires, Argentina and 300,000 people are there.
Maradona in the photo is only 20 years old. He has just signed for Boca. Already an idol in Argentina. After the photo, in his own language, he will announce his next song, ” Otro muerde el polvo” – “Another one bites the dust”.
A year earlier, during an England-Argentina friendly, Maradona almost scored after a spectacular slalom with the ball from the right wing, “prophesying” what would come six years later in Mexico. The goal of the century!
A year later, 1982, the conflict that became known in history as the “Malvinas War” would break out.
