Ian Darke

I think what you said there,

I mean, I think he's admired in England.

Yeah, but they don't like the fact that that hand of gold get gold counting.

But everybody knows, you know, he might have done the most notorious thing ever in the World Cup, but he also scored the greatest goal.

You know, you talk to any England player who played that day about Maradona and they're just in awe of him, frankly, as we all are.

I mean, he did it, didn't he?

That documentary, he did it on some bumpy pitches.

with everybody trying to kick him off the park every time he played.

He was something else.

So yeah, he isn't hated in England really at all.

He's admired overall, but resented for the hand of God.

Well, it's a first in a trilogy, isn't it?

Yeah, very much on.

I think it's the result that the title race needed.

Of course, Atletico are out of that, but you can see what a useful team they are.

They just imploded a little for half an hour at the start of the second half there.

But Real Madrid are in a kind of getting into that groove where they're getting the results they need, aren't they?

Because not many people fancied them to meet Bayern Munich.

Yeah, there's a quarter of the season to go.

Nine games still to go, Dan.
