@retro.calcio: 💙 MARADONA BRAWL FOR ALL | Kung-fu kicks and riot police: the day Maradona got Barça brawling! When Andoni Goikoetxea broke Diego Maradona’s ankle in 1983, it gave the Argentinian plenty of time to think as he plotted his revenge on the Butcher of Bilbao. Maradona returned after months out before Barcelona’s Copa del Rey final with Athletic Bilbao at the Santiago Bernabéu in 1984. The incident at the San Mamés the previous September meant relations were at a low between the two clubs. The matter was not helped by the game being playedat Real Madrid, an organisation detested by both sets of supporters, especially in the Franco era. Before kick-off, the Basques and Catalans booed the national anthem,showing their disdain for the Spanish state. A mutual hatred did aid the atmosphere as regional flags were waved fervently behind the metal fencing surrounding the pitch. By the time the final whistle blew, Maradona was squaring up to José María Núñez in the classic forehead-to-forehead manner. Meanwhile, Athletic fans in the stands were in wild celebrations for winning the double and eventually, the metal fences were ripped down and substitutes and coaches soon invaded the pitch. What ensued was a melee as Maradona decided to release the pent-up frustrations that had been growing throughout the match. Unused substitute Miguel Ángel Sola who in a full tracksuit was Maradona’s first victim as he was struck on the chin by the Argentine who went in with a kung-Fu knee kick. This expedited Maradon's move to Napoli that summer! #maradona #maradona10 #d10s #elpibe #elpibedeoro #1984 #copadelrey ##copadelreyfinal #blaugrana #blaugranas #butcherofbilbao #atleticobilbao #fypシ #Soccer #futbolespañol #laliga #retrocalcio #edits #socceredits #reels
