Maradona, Argentina’s favorite son whose life was marred by struggles with addiction, died aged 60 following a heart attack at home on Wednesday. Some scuffles broke out as fans tried to get inside the palace to see their hero. Diego, Pelusa, or simply God, as Maradona was known, had a long career that included leading the South American nation to World Cup glory in 1986. “I think everyone today felt like something had died, your childhood died, your mother died, your father died, this is what it feels like,” said another fan, Mauro Gimenez. “You can’t explain what Diego made you feel when he played,” added Gimenez, wearing a yellow Boca Juniors shirt.
