The golden boy who never stopped being the kid from the streets.

Villa Fiorito. Buenos Aires.

Before Napoli, before the World Cups, before Maradona became Maradona, there was a kid with a football at his feet.

By the age of ten, Diego was appearing on Argentine television, entertaining crowds by juggling footballs — and even oranges.

They called him El Pibe de Oro — The Golden Boy.

THE GOALSOUL INTERPRETATION

El Pibe means more than simply boy.

It's the street kid — mischievous, instinctive, rebellious and full of guile.

And however famous Maradona became — from Argentina and the 1986 World Cup to Napoli — that kid never really disappeared.

You could see him every time Diego got the ball.

The imagination. The audacity. The sheer joy of doing something nobody else had thought of.

Michel Platini once said:

“What I could do with a ball, Maradona could do with an orange.”

That's the Maradona we wanted to celebrate.

The street kid who became immortal.
El Pibe de Oro.
