The Argentina playmaker, who died aged 60 in November 2020, claimed his contentious first goal was scored “a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God”.

Maradona’s shirt from the match, which belonged to England midfielder Steve Hodge, sold for a record-breaking £7.1m at auction in May 2022, having only been expected to achieve around £4m.
After defeating England, Argentina went on to become world champions for the second time following a 3-2 victory over West Germany in the final.
