'Be correct.' 676 00:47:39,958 --> 00:47:42,583 And the linesman said: Leave it. 677 00:47:42,750 --> 00:47:46,500 And the flags play a role again. 678 00:47:46,625 --> 00:47:49,791 We were not going to mark Maradona one on one... 679 00:47:49,958 --> 00:47:54,416 but as soon as he received the ball we surrounded him. 680 00:47:54,541 --> 00:47:57,041 Maradona facing four Englishmen... 681 00:47:57,208 --> 00:47:58,083 Fifth and last. 682 00:47:58,250 --> 00:48:01,625 Free kick against Fenwick, and yellow. 683 00:48:01,791 --> 00:48:06,625 This yellow card for Fenwick had repercussions on the whole. 684 00:48:06,791 --> 00:48:12,083 This yellow card places the defender faced with a dilemma after half-time: 685 00:48:12,250 --> 00:48:14,583 Prevent a goal and take a red? 686 00:48:14,750 --> 00:48:17,541 Or witness a miracle? 687 00:48:18,208 --> 00:48:20,791 Continue what we came for. 688 00:48:20,958 --> 00:48:22,875 The second half begins. 689 00:48:29,125 --> 00:48:33,000 Once upon a time... at Azteca. 690 00:48:38,833 --> 00:48:44,583 At Azteca, a strange energy was slowly starting to settle in. 691 00:48:51,708 --> 00:48:56,208 Bobby gave his speech and we thought be able to contain Maradona. 692 00:48:56,375 --> 00:49:01,041 But no one in this stadium, on the pitch or in the stands... 693 00:49:01,208 --> 00:49:04,541 was not prepared for what was going to happen. 694 00:49:05,583 --> 00:49:08,250 The atmosphere was electric. 695 00:49:08,416 --> 00:49:11,875 It's a feeling that's difficult to describe. 696 00:49:12,041 --> 00:49:15,041 As if a force bigger than all of us... 697 00:49:15,208 --> 00:49:18,708 had chosen, on June 22, Azteca stadium... 698 00:49:18,875 --> 00:49:21,625 to create something exceptional. 699 00:49:21,791 --> 00:49:24,125 The recovery. Valdano on Maradona. 700 00:49:24,291 --> 00:49:27,791 Left on Olarticoechea. Five minutes after the restart. 701 00:49:27,958 --> 00:49:30,291 When does Argentina score? Come on. 702 00:49:30,458 --> 00:49:33,916 Five minutes after restart of this quarter. 703 00:49:34,083 --> 00:49:37,166 The score is still 0-0, There are still 40 minutes to play. 704 00:49:37,333 --> 00:49:39,583 Still no goal, Maradona has the ball. 705 00:49:39,750 --> 00:49:42,291 Still dangerous. He finds Valdano. 706 00:49:42,458 --> 00:49:46,375 It cannot rotate. Here is Maradona... 707 00:49:46,500 --> 00:49:50,083 Will this goal be validated? 708 00:49:50,250 --> 00:49:51,833 Did you see that? 709 00:49:54,083 --> 00:49:56,166 Did you look closely? 710 00:49:58,500 --> 00:50:01,208 What happened? 711 00:50:01,375 --> 00:50:06,750 We're going to analyze that. The moments before the most controversial goal in football. 712 00:50:06,916 --> 00:50:11,875 The Hand of Diego. 713 00:50:12,041 --> 00:50:13,666 It all happened in the blink of an eye. 714 00:50:13,833 --> 00:50:15,708 The ball arrives at Maradona. 715 00:50:17,625 --> 00:50:21,791 It was like love at first sight so sudden that many missed everything. 716 00:50:21,958 --> 00:50:24,916 Shilton comes out of the cages. Maradona initiates the duel. 717 00:50:25,083 --> 00:50:26,166 Foul, Shilton said. 718 00:50:26,333 --> 00:50:30,375 Maradona's head. - Is it offside? 719 00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:35,250 With the fist and the head. 720 00:50:35,416 --> 00:50:38,166 I launched this attack on the left. 721 00:50:38,333 --> 00:50:42,958 I passed to Diego and centered at an angle. I found myself on the attack. 722 00:50:43,125 --> 00:50:48,083 It was Maradona's fourth breakthrough. He passed Hoddle, Reid and Fenwick. 723 00:50:49,333 --> 00:50:53,166 Maradona made a pass at me, but the ball bounces. 724 00:50:53,333 --> 00:50:55,250 I can't control it. 725 00:50:55,416 --> 00:50:57,083 Then Hodge intervened. 726 00:50:57,250 --> 00:50:59,458 He started the CDM on the bench... 727 00:50:59,583 --> 00:51:03,500 and replaced Robson against Morocco. 728 00:51:03,625 --> 00:51:07,166 Everything was under control when Maradona set off. 729 00:51:07,333 --> 00:51:11,125 But I didn't realize that he wanted to make a rebound. 730 00:51:14,083 --> 00:51:17,583 You expect danger, but not when your player has the ball. 731 00:51:17,750 --> 00:51:19,208 It happened instinctively. 732 00:51:19,375 --> 00:51:23,500 I had to be there and he tried it. 733 00:51:23,666 --> 00:51:26,833 I didn't see the hand. 734 00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,250 From the line, we saw him immediately. 735 00:51:29,416 --> 00:51:31,958 All the players saw it. 736 00:51:32,125 --> 00:51:34,791 I didn't see anything. 737 00:51:34,958 --> 00:51:38,125 'With the hand?' They too were hesitant. 738 00:51:38,291 --> 00:51:43,000 If you look now: If Maradona's goal counts... 739 00:51:43,166 --> 00:51:46,833 From the head, Victor Hugo. That's for sure. 740 00:51:48,666 --> 00:51:53,666 I remained calm, then I saw everyone run towards the median. 741 00:51:53,833 --> 00:51:56,541 The referee and the linesman too. 742 00:51:56,708 --> 00:51:58,625 My first reaction was: 743 00:51:58,791 --> 00:52:00,875 They didn't see her. 744 00:52:01,041 --> 00:52:05,250 Amazing he didn't whistle. He saw perfectly. 745 00:52:05,416 --> 00:52:09,416 He was right in front, but he left. 746 00:52:09,541 --> 00:52:10,958 It turns your stomach. 747 00:52:11,125 --> 00:52:15,583 How could the referees not see that? How could this have happened? 748 00:52:16,041 --> 00:52:18,750 I doubted it, but I didn't see a hand. 749 00:52:18,916 --> 00:52:21,041 I looked at my colleague... 750 00:52:21,208 --> 00:52:23,666 when we reached the median... 751 00:52:23,833 --> 00:52:26,583 to make sure the goal counted. 752 00:52:26,750 --> 00:52:32,666 Three or four of our players reported a hand fault to the referee. 753 00:52:32,833 --> 00:52:36,125 He wasn't going to change his mind though. 754 00:52:36,291 --> 00:52:40,791 40 seconds later, the match resumed as if nothing had happened. 755 00:52:40,958 --> 00:52:43,708 We had to continue. 756 00:52:43,875 --> 00:52:50,250 I validated the goal and I want to thank the English... 757 00:52:50,416 --> 00:52:54,958 for their fair play. I said: Keep playing. That was all. 758 00:52:55,125 --> 00:52:57,250 If that had happened to us, we would have... 759 00:52:57,416 --> 00:53:00,250 continued this referee until today. 760 00:53:01,041 --> 00:53:05,375 Horrible. There is a linesman and the referee. 761 00:53:05,500 --> 00:53:11,625 The referee whistles perfectly. He should have seen that. It's scandalous. 762 00:53:12,750 --> 00:53:16,166 It was a mixture of anger, frustration and disappointment... 763 00:53:16,333 --> 00:53:19,791 facing something that we should have seen. 764 00:53:19,958 --> 00:53:21,708 May God forgive me these words: 765 00:53:21,875 --> 00:53:25,958 Today against England but with a goal scored with the hand. 766 00:53:26,125 --> 00:53:28,041 What can I say? 767 00:53:28,208 --> 00:53:31,500 As if he were saying: Hands count. 768 00:53:31,625 --> 00:53:33,291 Against the English, that counts. 769 00:53:33,458 --> 00:53:38,750 Thief. 770 00:53:38,916 --> 00:53:41,666 Ratero. It means thief, right? 771 00:53:43,250 --> 00:53:45,083 Exceptional players think quickly. 772 00:53:45,250 --> 00:53:48,875 But it wasn't a great game. It was cheating. 773 00:53:50,625 --> 00:53:53,791 I don't believe in cheating. 774 00:53:53,958 --> 00:53:58,541 But from a philosophical point of view about good and evil... 775 00:53:58,708 --> 00:54:00,375 those four minutes showed everything. 776 00:54:00,500 --> 00:54:05,208 I don't think any of us had predicted what was going to happen. 777 00:54:06,458 --> 00:54:10,750 Exactly 3:07 minutes later... 778 00:54:10,916 --> 00:54:15,875 a man attempts the impossible. A monumental leap into the void. 779 00:54:16,041 --> 00:54:18,750 This man, Diego Armando Maradona. 780 00:54:18,916 --> 00:54:23,375 A cosmic kite. 781 00:54:25,625 --> 00:54:29,250 This is Maradona.

Awesome. 785 00:54:37,875 --> 00:54:39,958 Aim. 786 00:54:45,291 --> 00:54:50,000 I want to cry.

He was their guardian at the time. 802 00:55:51,041 --> 00:55:54,416 I shot and the ball brushed the post. 803 00:55:54,541 --> 00:55:56,666 Turquito told me I shot badly. 804 00:55:56,833 --> 00:56:00,583 I said no, and that I was exhausted. 'No, you shot badly. 805 00:56:00,750 --> 00:56:04,083 You should have made an outside hook with the left foot and pull.' 806 00:56:04,250 --> 00:56:08,458 And there, I achieved what he told me. 807 00:56:29,583 --> 00:56:32,875 There is no discussion about this goal. 808 00:56:33,041 --> 00:56:36,375 Very high level football. 809 00:56:44,541 --> 00:56:45,625 A miracle. 810 00:56:45,791 --> 00:56:48,208 How can you not appreciate that? 811 00:56:50,125 --> 00:56:55,416 If he thinks of his brother in front of Shilton, it's almost a miracle. 812 00:56:55,541 --> 00:57:01,208 Imagine how quickly this thought crosses his mind. 813 00:57:01,375 --> 00:57:04,791 Our country is healing its wounds... 814 00:57:04,958 --> 00:57:10,458 and with every cry of joy we were taking care of our collective soul a little. 815 00:57:10,583 --> 00:57:17,500 Spectators at the Azteca stadium stand up to cheer him. 816 00:57:17,625 --> 00:57:20,625 If the first goal was invalid... 817 00:57:20,791 --> 00:57:24,458 the second was one of the most beautiful of this tournament. 818 00:57:24,583 --> 00:57:28,416 Diegoal.

The greatest miracle in football. 832 00:58:27,375 --> 00:58:32,083 It's a high class goal of a player of the highest class. 833 00:58:32,250 --> 00:58:35,666 During this last tackle... 834 00:58:35,833 --> 00:58:37,791 Fenwick already had a yellow card. 835 00:58:37,958 --> 00:58:42,416 Towards the goal. Free kick against Fenwick, and immediately yellow. 836 00:58:42,541 --> 00:58:47,500 There are some who think that without yellow, he would have knocked him to the ground. 837 00:58:47,666 --> 00:58:50,041 But there, he would have received a red card. 838 00:58:56,666 --> 00:58:59,666 Diego's 2nd goal was historic. 839 00:58:59,833 --> 00:59:06,166 But there was still plenty of time and we had to react immediately. 840 00:59:06,333 --> 00:59:10,750 His leg remained stuck, but he was able to make a pass to Shilton. 841 00:59:10,916 --> 00:59:12,708 He comes into play. 842 00:59:12,875 --> 00:59:18,041 John Barnes came into play and he changed the game. 843 00:59:18,208 --> 00:59:21,083 He gave us a lot of trouble. 844 00:59:21,250 --> 00:59:26,166 Barnes comes into play with number 19. 845 00:59:27,166 --> 00:59:31,375 On the left.

He passes three players. 860 01:00:26,166 --> 01:00:30,875 Diego is gone. Pass to Tapia. They pass the ball back and forth. 861 01:00:31,041 --> 01:00:34,833 He makes a hook inwards. He shoots... Post. 862 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,291 Great action from Chino Tapia. 863 01:00:37,458 --> 01:00:40,500 It really could have happened there. 864 01:00:40,625 --> 01:00:42,458 Maradona, three against two. 865 01:00:42,583 --> 01:00:48,125 Come on, Diego. With Giusti and Valdano. 866 01:00:48,291 --> 01:00:50,166 It could change at any moment. 867 01:00:50,333 --> 01:00:54,416 Barnes was unstoppable. He was the one who made the difference. 868 01:00:54,541 --> 01:00:59,500 But the action 3 minutes from the end deserves attention. 869 01:00:59,625 --> 01:01:01,875 1 year before the Match. 870 01:01:02,041 --> 01:01:04,458 A man drives on the highway with his family. 871 01:01:04,583 --> 01:01:07,208 During the four hours between Buenos Aires and Saladillo... 872 01:01:07,375 --> 01:01:10,583 two events will influence the match. 873 01:01:10,750 --> 01:01:12,500 The toll. 874 01:01:12,666 --> 01:01:17,916 In 1984, Julio Olarticoechea ended to his international career. 875 01:01:18,083 --> 01:01:21,500 Deprived of leadership role and overwhelmed by Bilardo's methods... 876 01:01:21,625 --> 01:01:25,291 he preferred to bet on his game at Boca. 877 01:01:25,458 --> 01:01:30,875 But under the influence of Grondona, Carlos saw potential in him. 878 01:01:31,041 --> 01:01:33,416 Pachamé entered the locker room: 879 01:01:33,541 --> 01:01:35,958 Carlos wants to talk to you again. 880 01:01:36,125 --> 01:01:40,500 But I was going to go to Saladillo. 'He's waiting for you at the tollbooth.' 881 01:01:40,625 --> 01:01:44,875 I pass the toll and he signals to me to follow him. I park. 882 01:01:45,041 --> 01:01:46,958 He found a brick and drew... 883 01:01:47,125 --> 01:01:51,125 a football field on a white house. 884 01:01:51,291 --> 01:01:54,708 He gave me a tactical explanation with lines and everything. 885 01:01:54,875 --> 01:01:58,875 I looked at my wife who shook his head. Amazing. 886 01:01:59,041 --> 01:02:04,500 In this corner, Carlos explained to me his tactical vision for the CDM. 887 01:02:04,666 --> 01:02:09,500 Three defenders who would serve also midfielders. 888 01:02:09,625 --> 01:02:11,916 Could I then go up quietly? 889 01:02:12,083 --> 01:02:17,416 The attacker can come from the flank or through the center... 890 01:02:17,541 --> 01:02:20,750 and even on the other side. 891 01:02:20,916 --> 01:02:26,875 If we learned one thing from Bilardo is that a detail can be decisive. 892 01:02:27,041 --> 01:02:31,500 He asked us deeply because that’s what he did too. 893 01:02:31,625 --> 01:02:35,125 These weird little details brought us closer to the miracle. 894 01:02:35,291 --> 01:02:37,666 86th minute of the Match 895 01:02:37,833 --> 01:02:43,708 Diego played so well that he almost eclipse the second miracle. 896 01:02:45,791 --> 01:02:49,791 The Neck of God. 897 01:02:54,666 --> 01:02:58,875 We have it difficult. Equalization hangs in the air. 898 01:03:01,916 --> 01:03:03,916 Oh, that... 899 01:03:09,583 --> 01:03:11,958 I've rewatched this so many times. 900 01:03:12,125 --> 01:03:14,916 It's a fantastic defense. 901 01:03:15,083 --> 01:03:16,833 It's Olarticoechea. 902 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:22,583 When Barnes broke through I cut inward... 903 01:03:22,750 --> 01:03:27,250 and I was able to cover Lineker who was not my direct opponent. 904 01:03:27,416 --> 01:03:30,791 But Ruggeri had lost it and I was able to anticipate. 905 01:03:30,958 --> 01:03:34,708 I touched him with that. A little 'tic'. 906 01:03:34,875 --> 01:03:38,541 Who would have thought that the guy who was driving towards Saladillo... 907 01:03:38,708 --> 01:03:44,000 and who, at a toll had to give a tactical speech... 908 01:03:44,166 --> 01:03:49,000 would mark history in a burst of despair? 909 01:03:49,166 --> 01:03:52,666 I called it The Neck of God. It's a good find. 910 01:03:52,833 --> 01:03:56,583 The neck of God? I like that. 911 01:03:56,750 --> 01:03:59,291 It could have been my seventh goal. 912 01:03:59,458 --> 01:04:06,791 That day my tournament ended, without knowing that I was the top scorer. 913 01:04:06,958 --> 01:04:09,666 But that's for another time. 914 01:04:31,458 --> 01:04:35,500 An invalid goal and another that counts... 915 01:04:35,625 --> 01:04:39,458 as one of the most beautiful in history. 916 01:04:39,583 --> 01:04:40,958 What a lovely hug. 917 01:04:41,125 --> 01:04:47,291 For those who can't celebrate: Argentina 2, England 1. 918 01:05:09,458 --> 01:05:12,291 We were so close. But that’s football. 919 01:05:12,458 --> 01:05:15,208 The players gave everything. 920 01:05:15,375 --> 01:05:18,083 A dubious goal and a miracle. 921 01:05:18,250 --> 01:05:22,125 Maradona was the undisputed hero. But had he cheated? 922 01:05:22,291 --> 01:05:28,375 The slow motions weren't that easy. The TVs were between 48 and 64 cm. 923 01:05:28,500 --> 01:05:32,416 To settle the debate, we needed proof: 924 01:05:32,541 --> 01:05:35,083 A sharp, high quality photo. 925 01:05:35,250 --> 01:05:39,250 The photographers were looking divine revelation. 926 01:05:39,416 --> 01:05:40,833 22 minutes after the Match. 927 01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:45,541 Thousands of questions arose around this mystery. 928 01:05:45,708 --> 01:05:50,208 And Maradona's first goal? 929 01:05:50,375 --> 01:05:54,375 Was it valid? - I saw it clearly. 930 01:05:54,500 --> 01:05:59,083 He jumps with Shilton. Maradona makes a header and we shout 'goal'. 931 01:05:59,250 --> 01:06:03,541 I didn't see the images broadcast. I have to trust what I saw. 932 01:06:03,708 --> 01:06:05,875 I saw the ball in the air. 933 01:06:06,041 --> 01:06:09,541 Maradona and Shilton pounced on it. 934 01:06:09,708 --> 01:06:16,958 Shilton had the best chance and Maradona puts the ball in the back of the net. 935 01:06:17,125 --> 01:06:19,500 Isn't it? 936 01:06:19,625 --> 01:06:25,166 The TV images will prove it but that's what I saw. 937 01:06:25,333 --> 01:06:27,500 It gave them the advantage. 938 01:06:27,666 --> 01:06:30,666 A bad choice in a crucial match. 939 01:06:30,833 --> 01:06:33,041 In my opinion, it was a worthy goal. 940 01:06:33,208 --> 01:06:37,833 A valid goal, insists Maradona. He didn't cheat, he said. 941 01:06:39,208 --> 01:06:43,500 But the controversy surrounding this goal who eliminated England... 942 01:06:43,625 --> 01:06:46,500 will continue for years. 943 01:06:46,666 --> 01:06:50,291 Without regret, he said having scored this goal... 944 01:06:50,458 --> 01:06:53,291 with the hand of God and the head of Diego. 945 01:06:53,458 --> 01:06:58,500 The Hand of God. 946 01:06:58,666 --> 01:07:00,791 Argentina is champion. 947 01:07:00,958 --> 01:07:04,750 This statement would come from from Maradona's first interview. 948 01:07:04,916 --> 01:07:09,125 It was in the locker room where only the Argentine press had access. 949 01:07:09,291 --> 01:07:14,000 There is no sound or image of this interview. Many newspapers quoted him. 950 01:07:14,166 --> 01:07:18,708 He said: Partly, hand to Diego and in part, the head of Maradona. 951 01:07:18,875 --> 01:07:23,500 When Bilardo was asked, he replied: What purpose are you talking about? 952 01:07:23,625 --> 01:07:26,375 I saw Diego jump, that's all. 953 01:07:26,500 --> 01:07:32,666 He didn't want this aim of the hand become a global scandal. 954 01:07:32,833 --> 01:07:36,875 A second interview took place on the Azteca field. 955 01:07:37,041 --> 01:07:41,583 The press present said that Maradona had never spoken of 'the hand of God'. 956 01:07:41,750 --> 01:07:46,625 Italian reporter Néstor Ferrero would have invented it. 957 01:07:46,791 --> 01:07:49,833 When Maradona refused to talk about it... 958 01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:54,500 Néstor said ironically that it must therefore be the hand of God. 959 01:07:54,666 --> 01:07:57,541 That must be it, Diego replied. 960 01:07:57,708 --> 01:08:01,916 Newspapers from around the world interpreted the statement differently. 961 01:08:02,083 --> 01:08:04,125 It gave it a divine touch. 962 01:08:04,291 --> 01:08:06,416 It was talked about all over the world. 963 01:08:06,541 --> 01:08:09,666 Pop culture attributed this phrase to him. 964 01:08:09,833 --> 01:08:13,833 He speaks of the hand of God. Me, that of a thug. 965 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:18,208 They are eliminated from the CDM and want to return as quickly as possible. 966 01:08:18,375 --> 01:08:23,041 We found this twist scandalous. Plus, he never apologized. 967 01:08:23,208 --> 01:08:26,000 It was humiliating. 968 01:08:26,166 --> 01:08:30,958 Everyone knows it was a hand. Him too. But he doesn't admit it. 969 01:08:31,125 --> 01:08:36,291 Hours later the first evidence has emerged. 970 01:08:45,041 --> 01:08:49,666 From different angles and more and more clear... 971 01:08:49,833 --> 01:08:52,750 until it was immortalized. 972 01:08:54,875 --> 01:08:57,791 The photo that reveals the deception. 973 01:08:57,958 --> 01:09:02,791 The photo was taken by the Mexican Alejandro Ojeda Carvajal. 974 01:09:02,958 --> 01:09:06,500 But intellectual property was still quite vague. 975 01:09:06,666 --> 01:09:11,708 English photographer Bob Thomas claimed international rights. 976 01:09:11,875 --> 01:09:15,500 The Mexican photographer was never mentioned. 977 01:09:15,625 --> 01:09:20,000 The photo is still sold under the name Bob Thomas. 978 01:09:20,166 --> 01:09:26,916 The hand is undeniably Argentinian, but the rights belong to an Englishman. 979 01:09:27,916 --> 01:09:31,708 You could see it clearly. 980 01:09:32,333 --> 01:09:37,166 We wonder how he might have had this idea. 981 01:09:38,875 --> 01:09:42,458 He went about it very intelligently. because he also nodded. 982 01:09:43,791 --> 01:09:45,583 It was a questionable goal. 983 01:09:45,750 --> 01:09:50,083 He did that and looked at the referee. 984 01:09:50,250 --> 01:09:53,291 He ran and the rest followed. 985 01:09:53,458 --> 01:09:57,833 They asked: It was a hand, wasn't it? He signaled them to be quiet. 986 01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:59,916 I asked: Was that your hand? 987 01:10:00,083 --> 01:10:04,125 He was going to tell me.
