Description
Some say Magico was better than Maradona. Their paths converged in the U.S., where they spent the summer as teammates.
There was one player better than Pele or Maradona, at least according to Diego Maradona. His name was Mágico González, the best player to ever come out of El Salvador. Known as much for his ability to humiliate defenders as his tendency to sleep through training, Mágico spent most of his career in Cadiz. But Maradona and Mágico spent one summer as teammates on a U.S. tour for Barcelona. It’s a little-known story about when two of the sport’s most incorrigible geniuses teamed up.
