Confrontations between Zico and Maradona tend have an element of unfairness about them. Their 7.5 years age gap means that duels between them run the risk of being skewed by either immaturity on Maradona’s side (Brazil vs Argentina 1982 comes to mind), or a lack of youthful explosiveness on Zico’s side.
In this game, Zico is 32, approaching veteran status and playing his last season in Italy. Maradona is 24. He’s playing his first season in Italy and nearing the best years of his career. Can Diego outclass the old master in this fascinating duel? You decide.
