(ANSA) – BUENOS AIRES, OCTOBER 30 – Today Diego Maradona would have turned 61 and Argentina celebrates his myth in various forms, primarily football. Since yesterday’s advance between Racing and Defensa y Justicia, all the league matches played this weekend will be interrupted at 10 ‘of the first half so that in every stadium the one who is considered, together with Pelé, the best is remembered. footballer of all time.
