4-1 good guys, in case folks are curious. Bilbao scored first, and their fans were actually making the cameras shake. Pretty crazy. Then Yaya did a solo rumble/long-range shot, and from then the avalanche began.

1 down, 2 more to go.

yea, maradona was out for blood that game, a big reason was that Andoni Goikoetxea ( also known as the butcher of Bilbao ) broke his ankle the year before:

Holy crap, maradona totally knees that goalie in the face in the very beginning. The goalie is for sure knocked out by that devastating blow. What a maniac.

Ed: As an Argentine who thinks Maradona was one of the greatest players to have ever played the game, i think your comment was…hilarious

Sentenced to years of binging on cocaine and booze, followed by stomach stapling, followed by managing the Argentine national side. A little harsh if you ask me.

On the up side, the players will be able to save their legs by sitting through the anthem. :D

Can’t wait for this match. Apparently, they’re expecting there to be a chorus of boos during the national anthem. Unsuprising really.
