His lawyer Matias Morla described it as a “miracle” he was still alive just two weeks ago and described the surgery as the “most difficult moment of his life”.

Maradona’s ex-girlfriend insisted shortly before his subdural haematoma was discovered that he needed urgent treatment for his ‘real problem’ – alcohol addiction.

Rocio Oliva spent six years with the recovering drug addict and came close to marrying him before their split at the end of 2018.

Maradona won the World Cup with Argentina in 1986 and became notorious for his ‘Hand of God’ goal against England.
