Argentina's ex-footballer Bochini claims he scored a better World Cup goal than Maradona's famous strike against England

Friday, 26 June 2026, 06:27 · 1 min read

Ricardo Bochini, the Argentine midfielder who was a World Cup winner with Argentina at Mexico 1986, has claimed that a goal he scored surpasses Diego Maradona's celebrated solo effort against England at that tournament. Bochini, a legendary playmaker at Independiente (one of Argentina's most successful club sides), said: "I scored a better goal than his against England." The remarks are likely to raise eyebrows among football fans, as Maradona's second goal in that quarter-final is widely regarded as the greatest goal ever scored.
