The game between Boca Juniors and Gimnasia, related to the 19th round of the Argentine championship, was interrupted at the 10th minute (usual number on Maradona’s torso) to honor The God that, if he were alive, he would have celebrated his 61st birthday yesterday, October 30th.
Boca Juniors showcased some of Maradona’s best moments at the service of the historic Buenos Aires club and La Bombonera Stadium almost went down in a truly chilling moment.
