Italy 1-1 Argentina (3-4 PSO) | Extended Highlights | 1990 FIFA World Cup

What is your favourite ever World Cup semi-final?

This was in Napoli --- Diago Maradona said goodbye to Napoli in 1991 after seven glorious seasons in which they lifted the UEFA Cup, the Coppa Italia, two Serie A titles and an Italian Super Cup (they had not won the Scudetto before, nor have they since) Then in 1990 he helps to send Italy out in Napoli  Poor Diego was always a hero and a villian

Goychochea is an absolute legend.

Argentina of 1990 was one of the most resilient teams of all times , all the odds were against them but they never quit and kept digging and almost won it with a less than average side full of injuries playing against amazing teams, I guess this is the mentality a legend like maradona plants in the mentality of the team.

Maradona played a very significant role to bulid his team's mental spirit in 1990 world Cup.

My childhood 😢 Rest In Peace, The little Big Man! GOAT ❤️

Maradona played the tournament with an injured ankle n still took the team to the final. In the final match Argentine had 5 players suspended in the Germans took advantage n scored a penalty. The funny thing is despite argentina missing first team players in the final, the Germans still couldn't score from the open play. Argentina under Maradona was a team to reckon with.

I was little when I first saw Goyco's goalkeeping and was mesmerized with it. I have never lost that romanticism with Argentina team ever since the 1990 world cup. Literally cried over Argentina's defeat in the final while being in Frankfurt when the entire German nation was celebrating their victory.

RIP Diego... We will remember and miss you... forever...

The way Maradona takes his penalty (with sheer ice cold calmness and by almost passing the ball into the net once he's sent the keeper the wrong way) is excatly how Messi took most of his penalties to help win Argentina this latest World Cup in 2022.....Looks like Messi and Maradona may have either spent a lot of time discussing this with each other before Maradona sadly passed away...or simply Messi watched and learned from Maradona (whom would have been a huge mentor for Messi anyway as he grew up and then became the world new best player)

1990 was the last World Cup of the football that had a little bit of ice hockey vibes with players pushing and punching eachother. BRING THE FAIR VIOLENCE BACK

Maradona is a real monster. surrounded by 6 opponents and still managed to create an accurate passing.

Roberto baggio and maradona in the same game. Two legends

I'm glad to finally see the penalties. I came home from school to remember Argentina scoring and my grandmother cheering.I had enough memory back then to know that Italy and keeper Zengha had not conceded before .Rest in Peace to the man who set up Canniggia's goal Maradona

We cried for you Diego the best player ever.

This was technically the best Italian team. Look at the line up. They would have beaten Germany if they beat Argentina here. I think Italy lost the mind game to Maradona. He said something crazy in press conference prior to the game and I think it affected the Italians mind. Diego explained when he's about to take his penalty, Zenga tried to put preasure by saying "I know you" , but Diego responded "I know you better" Also, after scoring the opening goal, Italy seems to reluctant to attack in number. This was mindset of every team in this tournament. Defence seems to be the ultimate priority. Argentina certainly played their best football in this tournament in this particular game.

Legendary Maradona!!!! Rest in power!! 🙌🏼

Argentina won the 1990 World Cup. I understand they lost the final but a team with Maradona, Ruggeri, Pumpidp Olarticoechea and Burruchaga playing hurt or getting injured, Cannigia, Batista and Giusti penalized for yellow cards and Monzon and Giusti being sent off, and loose to the team that have steamrolled over everyone else by a fake penalty towards the end of the game, testifies to the greatness of the team.

I was a little boy of 5 watching those matches ❤️ Maradona will be remembered . I remember he was always exceptional and indomitable in the field.🙏

Argentina se arrastou durante toda a copa , agora fez seu melhor jogo contra a Itália batendo de frente contra os anfitriões. Mesmo com um jogador a menos se superou. Maradona , Cannigia e Goyecochea outra vez principais destaques.
