Diego Maradona has written off Real Madrid and claims Arsenal are
the best team in Europe.
“The Galacticos aren’t more than a band of
stray dogs,” Maradona said as he left for Cuba, where he is to continue
his treatment to recover from drug addiction.
After watching Real’s
Champions League defeat by Bayer Leverkusen, Maradona said: “I felt
embarrassed watching them.
“Roberto Carlos didn’t know what was he
doing on the pitch and Beckham was just looking for the flashes. All of
them just wanted the match to finish. That’s not football.”
And he
recommended that the Spanish team sign Argentine midfielder Javier
Mascherano. “He’s a monster, with him Real Madrid would be a real team,”
he said.
And Argentina’s World Cup-winning skipper added: “I do
like Arsenal a lot, they’re the best in Europe. And Thierry Henry is a
‘Maradonian’ player.” |
