The modern stadium, which has a capacity of 88,966 spectators, was covered with images of Diego Maradona on all its walls.
In the debut game you could see different versions of Maradona: the world champion in the Azteca stadium, “Che” Guevara’s friend, a retired Diego biting into a Fidel Castro-style cigar and even a Diego in Sistine Chapel mode with Messi.
The songs that honored Diego in the World Cup
In addition, the tributes were accompanied by the songs most used by Argentines in this World Cup: “We can do Diego from heaven, with Don Diego and Doña Tota, encouraging Lionel.” The new world hit is based on the song “Boys, I’m getting drunk tonight”from The Fly.
The same song was also heard during the entire warm-up of the players of the Argentine National Team. The fans’ tribute was also motivated by the anthem of the quarteter Rodrigo “La mano de dios” from the stadium’s audio system.

Followed by Rodrigo’s classic, it could not be missing Opus theme “Life is life”the famous song that was danced by the Argentine star in the UEFA Cup semifinals between Bayern and Napoli.
There were also indirect references: “He who does not jump is an Englishman”was one of the songs most intoned by the Argentine fans.
