On November 10, 2001, Maradona said goodbye to football. The football king completed his personal farewell game on behalf of the Argentina team against the World Stars United at the Candy Box Stadium, the home of Boca Juniors.

This is the final farewell to football for the 41-year-old football king. However, this farewell is not two-way, because football has already drifted away from him: his body has long been bloated and he is tortured by drug addiction. He fled to Cuba for treatment, but did not improve significantly.

The game was played against Argentina and World Stars United. The game was broadcast live on the Stream platform, but countless bars and restaurants set up rudimentary equipment to broadcast pirated signals. Veron, Francescoli, Stoichkov, Higuita, Cantona...these big names are just the tip of the iceberg of the players present.

The game ended with Argentina 6-3. Although Maradona's physical condition is no longer what it used to be, he still plays a leading role on the court: Argentina's Claudio Lopez scores the first goal, and Suker quickly equalizes the score. Later, Aimar took the lead again with Diego's assist. Maradona then personally took the penalty kick, extending the score to 3-1, and had a dispute with Higuita. After scoring, Maradona lifted up the national team jersey, revealing the Boca Juniors jersey inside to celebrate passionately. Subsequently, Castroman and Aimar scored respectively, Maradona scored again through a penalty kick, and goals from Cantona and Higuita finalized the score.
