The head of the Saudi Entertainment Authority, Turki Al-Sheikh, brought to mind the statement of the Argentine legend, Diego Maradona, about the famous incident in which he played the ball with his hand during a match against the England national team.
Legendary Diego Maradona outjumped England goalkeeper Peter Shilton to score his famous "Hand of God" goal, in front of English defenders Kenny Sansom, Gary Stevens and Terry Fenwick, in the quarter-finals of the 1986 FIFA World Cup.
Turki Al-Sheikh reposted a video of the famous goal by the legend Diego Maradona on his page on the (X) platform on the eve of the anticipated match between the national teams of Argentina and England in the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup, and commented on it saying: “This is the one that has no equal before or after it.”
The legendary Diego Armando Maradona, the hero of the 1986 Mexico World Cup, amazed the world by achieving a football "miracle" by scoring two wonderful "iconic" goals, one of which he scored with his left hand and said at the time that it was "the hand of God".
The second came after a run from midfield in which he dribbled past the England defenders, leading "Tango" to victory over "arch-rival" England in this match (2-1) and later to win the championship title.
