My mother thinks I am the best. And I was raised to always believe what my mother tells me.
Diego Maradona was an Argentine professional football player and manager, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history. He was one of the two joint winners of the FIFA Player of the Century award, alongside Pelé.
An advanced playmaker in the classic number 10 position, he was known for his vision, passing, ball control and dribbling, and was a free kick specialist. His small stature gave him a low centre of gravity that let him move better than most players, and his presence and leadership had a great effect on his teams. He was nicknamed El Pibe de Oro, "The Golden Boy." He played for Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli, Sevilla and Newell's Old Boys, and he led Napoli to their first Serie A title.

There would be no debate about who was the best footballer the world had ever seen - me or Pele. Everyone would say me.
If I could apologise and go back and change history I would do. But the goal is still a goal, Argentina became world champions and I was the best player in the world.
