FOOTBALL fans are all saying the same thing after a new statue of Diego Maradona was unveiled in Spain.
The dodgy design was revealed ahead of the COTIF final in the Spanish town of L'Alcudia.

The artwork didn't quite match the real thingCredit: AP
With Argentina's Under-20s in action, the country's FA president Claudio Tapia was in town to unveil the new Maradona tribute.
Tapia beamed as he posed for photos next to the work, designed by Spanish artist Rafa Ferri.
But fans have been quick to slate the artwork online, likening it from Sylvester Stallone to Bruce Lee.
One social media user wrote: "Have respect for Diego!"
While a second joked: "Oops Diego melted."
A third tweeted: "Hahahaha what is that."
And another questioned: "Nobody saw that lack of respect before presenting it?"
The statue drew comparisons with other botched works from down the years.
Madeira Airport infamously unveiled an awful statue of Cristiano Ronaldo back in 2017.
While a previous attempt at Maradona in Kolkata drew comparisons with Susan Boyle.
Manchester City erected a statue of Sergio Aguero outside Etihad Stadium at the end of the last season - only for Toni Kroos to mockingly point out that it looks more like him.
Lived down the road in Dulwich when she married Guy Ritchie.I’ve never been much of a fan. I recall “Like a Prayer” being ok, and then the Sex Book stage was alright, but since then… Nothing. Don’t know what all the fuss is about
It's never mentioned how he dribbled through half the team before his 1st goal.hand of god never really bothered me, mainly because the England players were trying to break Maradona's legs every time he got the ball.
It's mentioned everywhere but in England. Fun fact: In other countries, when everyone thinks of Maradona, they think of Napoli and that goal. The "hand of god" doesn't even get discussed anywhere.It's never mentioned how he dribbled through half the team before his 1st goal.
If they could have actually tackled him he would never have got to use the hand of god for that goal.
Or if Peter Shilton didn’t get out jumped by a fucking midget.It's never mentioned how he dribbled through half the team before his 1st goal.
If they could have actually tackled him he would never have got to use the hand of god for that goal.
And no one ever looks to Shilton and says, You're a goalkeeper who stands at 6ft 1, who allowed yourself to be outjumped by a player who was 5ft 4!!!!!!!It's never mentioned how he dribbled through half the team before his 1st goal.
If they could have actually tackled him he would never have got to use the hand of god for that goal.
I read that the ball in the 'Hand of God' incident is being auctioned by the ref and is expected to get £3million for it. I hope he is going to give it to charity. The idea that he is going to profit by his gross incompetence makes me feel sick.
Really disgusting.Not a chance sadly.
Steve Hodge got minted too.
Diego Maradona's 'hand of god' shirt breaks two records at auction
The shirt, which fetched £7,142,500 ($8,958,124) at auction, has broken two Guinness World Records titles for the most expensive football (soccer) shirt sold at auction and the most expensive sports memorabilia sold at auctionwww.guinnessworldrecords.com
I agree, the fact that he allowed Englands leg breaking challenges on Maradona everytime he got the ball was pretty disgusting.I read that the ball in the 'Hand of God' incident is being auctioned by the ref and is expected to get £3million for it. I hope he is going to give it to charity. The idea that he is going to profit by his gross incompetence makes me feel sick.
Rewatching it, there were 5 england players surrounding him who didnt even bother to mark his run and were literally just staring at the ball.It's never mentioned how he dribbled through half the team before his 1st goal.

Half people involved in this passage of play are dead amazed people still arguing it...Rewatching it, there were 5 england players surrounding him who didnt even bother to mark his run and were literally just staring at the ball.
Then to top it off, Steve Hodge literally flicked the ball to him where he was all by himself in the box and is able to out jump Shilton.
