It is considered one of the most iconic football jerseys in the world: Diego Maradona’s number 10, worn in the 1986 World Cup final.

Former international Lothar Matthäus presented the jersey to the Argentine Embassy in Madrid and explained that it was hard for him to give it away. “Because it is a great memory in my career. But I think the best place the jersey can get is here in Madrid in the future. “

In that World Cup final, Maradona and Matthew swapped shirts at half-time – Matthaeus has owned the shirt ever since. But in the past decades, the calls for a “return” of the number 10 have become louder and louder. The now 61-year-old did not want to stand in the way of that.

From now on, the jersey will be on display in the “Legends” football museum in the Spanish capital.
