Maradona Super Cup – Argentina vs Italy: The two teams defeated the likes of Brazil and England within a span of 24 hours last weekend. With Argentina’s victory, Lionel Messi brought an end to his trophy drought on an international stage while Italy won their Euro title for the first time after 53 years. Angel Di Maria’s lone goal proved too good for Brazil helping them clinch their first continental crown in 28 years while England vs Italy entered a penalty shootout after 120 minutes of top-flight football.
The idea of a football match between the two champion teams has been put up by an Argentine daily. It has proposed the title as ‘Maradona super Cup’ named after Argentine legend Diego Maradona owing to his connection between the two countries. The latter won the 1986 World Cup for Argentina and played for Italian Seria A club Napoli helping them to win two domestic titles.
