Maradona was 17 when he was left out of the 1978 World Cup squad. He cried more that day than at any other point in his life. Then he made one decision — bronca, anger, would be his fuel.

This episode follows that fuel from a two-metre room in Fiorito with eight kids and no running water, through the World Cup, Napoli, Barcelona, and the moment it all started to fall apart. The same rage that made him the greatest footballer in the world was the thing he could never switch off.

He closes the book with one line. After everything — I am still me. I am El Diego.
