“In Argentina there was a banner that said, ‘It doesn’t matter what you’ve done in your life, it matters what you’ve done in our life. “Imagine what Maradona would have done in our generation (of football).
‘There are few incredible players in our history, he is one of them. He was someone who made this sport better. On behalf of Manchester City, a big hug for all of his family. ‘
