On Wednesday, the football world was shocked by the news of the death of the legendary Argentinian footballer Diego Armando Maradona. At the age of 60, one of the greatest footballers of all time passed away. People from the world of football shared memories of D. Maradona on Wednesday evening, and before the UEFA Champions League match, the Argentine was honored with a minute of silence. The "Napoli" club decided to pay tribute to their former footballer. Fabrizio Romano reported that both the club and the Mayor of Naples, Luigi De Magistris, agreed that the "Napoli" stadium should be renamed and given the name "Diego Armando Maradona/San Paolo". It is worth noting that D. Maradona defended the honor of "Napoli" from 1984 to 1991 and became an Italian champion with him twice, and once raised the trophy of the UEFA Cup tournament.
