Chelsea were playing Barcelona again. First
leg was tied 1-1. And Chelsea were punching above their weight. I was
hopeful that we will give them tough competition, notwithstanding the
result. But a certain diminutive Argentinian decided that same will not
be the case. It was a close match and we still lost 3-0. I realized that
what I was witnessing that night was the greatest football player that I
have seen and in all probability, will ever see in my lifetime.
Football
was my solace in troublesome times. It still is. And I am fortunate
that during this period, I saw you at the absolute peak of your powers
and bring joy to millions like me around the world. Well, except when
you were tormenting us.
You are widely considered the greatest of
all time. And although I am not sure about how good Maradona or Pele
were, but I am sure about one thing: being considered better than you is
the highest praise that could be accorded to them.
Gracias por los recuerdos, Leo.
