Matteus: Maradona Was the Best of My Era

The famous German national team and Bayern Munich captain, Lothar Matthäus, has named Diego Maradona as the best footballer of his time, specifically the 1980s. "Diego Maradona was the best player of my era.

At that time, we were like today's Ronaldo and Messi, but we were talked about more, and we spent more time enjoying ourselves.

Sometimes I met Diego off the pitch, and we even celebrated certain occasions together. However, when we faced each other in the World Cup final, there was no friendship.

In the end, it was thanks to Diego that I worked on myself and became a better player," Matthäus told derbyderbyderby.it in an interview. A few days from now will mark the fifth anniversary of Maradona's passing.
