To many, Diego Armando Maradona was the best footballer in history.

From the beginning, there was never any doubt about his talent. Or his flaws. He was a virtuoso whose genius on the field was matched only by his fallibility off of it.

So it’s not surprising that Maradona, who died in 2020 at the age of 60 after a life of unimaginable glories and epic failures, was the subject of countless films, including the K+S favorites In the Hands of the Gods and El Camino de San Diego. He was nothing if not entertaining.

This month, a new documentary about Maradona’s final year, titled Diego: The Last Goodbye, is out on HBO Max. It’s the latest in a slew of recent and upcoming Maradona films and series available in the United States.

Diego: The Last Goodbye | Part chronicle of Maradona’s final days, part eulogy to his legend, this documentary includes interviews with his family, friends, former teammates, and fans. Everyone from ex-teammate Jorge Burrachaga to Paris St. Germain coach Mauricio Pochettino to biographer Ernesto Bialo reflect on what Maradona meant to them, to Argentina, and to the world.
