Diego Armando Maradona Hand of God ball
von Gabriel K: Diego Maradona
The ball linked to Diego Armando Maradona's 'Hand of God' goal sold for $3.35 million at an auction in the U.S. This moment happened during the 1986 World Cup in Mexico when Argentina beat England 2-1 in a quarterfinal. Maradona punched the Adidas star past English goalkeeper Peter Shilton and later scored another goal dubbed the 'goal of the century' after dribbling past almost half the English team. Argentina won the final against West Germany.

The Adidas star punched the Adidas ball past English goalkeeper Peter Shelton in the 2-1 quarterfinal win at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. It's considered one of the sport's most controversial moments. Now listen, this is also worth $3.3 million because Maradona also put the ball in the net for a second time for what was dubbed the goal of the century. You have to watch that one. He dribbled almost half the English team from behind the halfway line. Argentina went on to win that World Cup final against West Germany. Thank you.
