Diego Maradona vs Mariscal tackle

The sheer violence of that tackle by Mariscal at Huracán's stadium against River still hits hard. River brought a massive squad with Luque and the rest, setting up an offside trap that made the game tense. Then Mariscal tried to feint backward right in front of me, but I slipped the ball to the right to escape. Instead of letting me go, he hit me right here on the chest. The impact sent me tumbling about 50 meters away across the pitch. When Roberto rushed over to check if I was okay, asking if it was true that I was fine, my reply was blunt: No, Roberto. Is your foot okay? You have no idea what kind of kick he landed on me.
