Argentine soccer icon Diego Maradona died Wednesday, the Argentine Football Association confirmed. He was 60 years old.

Maradona died after suffering a heart attack at his home near Buenos Aires, the former player’s lawyer told Reuters.

He was hospitalized earlier this month, and Maradona underwent emergency brain surgery to repair a subdural hematoma following the detection of a blood clot on the surface of his brain. He remained in Buenos Aires under the watch of his psychologist Diego Diaz and was treated for alcohol dependency.

One of the greatest players of all time, Maradona guided Argentina to victory at the 1986 World Cup, and he starred at the club level for Barcelona, Napoli, and Boca Juniors, among others.

Captain of the Albiceleste side that captured the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, Maradona is largely remembered for the “Hand of God” goal against England in the quarterfinals. The diminutive second striker was involved in 10 goals (five goals and five assists) while leading Argentina to its second World Cup conquest, a mark that hasn’t been matched since.

Maradona would go on to score 34 goals in 91 appearances for Argentina while appearing in four World Cups. The Buenos Aires-born footballing deity also led Argentina to the 1990 final before bowing out to West Germany, and he took part in the 1994 installment in the United States before being sent home after testing positive for ephedrine.

During a decorated club career that lasted over two decades, Maradona lifted three domestic trophies with Barcelona before guiding Napoli to the Scudetto in 1986-87 and 1989-90. He also won the UEFA Cup with Napoli in 1988-89, marking the Italian side’s most successful period in its history.

“We are in mourning,” Napoli spokesman Nicola Lombardo said, according to ESPN. “We feel like a boxer who has been knocked out. We are in shock.”

“Everyone is waiting for words from us. But what words could be possible for pain as strong as that we are currently experiencing? Now is the time for tears. Later, it will be words,” the club added.

Maradona returned to Boca Juniors for a second stint, and retired with his hometown side in 1997 on his 37th birthday.

After ending his vaunted playing career, the hallowed star battled a variety of health issues. He was admitted to hospital multiple times, including in 2004 when he dealt with heart and respiratory problems related to a longstanding – and well documented – battle with drug addiction. He also underwent multiple gastric bypass operations to manage his weight, while treatment for alcohol abuse was also required.

Argentina appointed Maradona as its national team manager in 2008, and he stepped down after losing to Germany in the quarterfinals of the 2010 World Cup.

Maradona then held coaching positions in the United Arab Emirates and Mexico, and he was managing Argentinian top-flight side Gimnasia y Esgrima at the time of his death.

Chelsea and Sevilla became the first sides to secure progression to the last 16 of the Champions League following dramatic late victories over Rennes and Krasnodar, respectively, in Group E play on Tuesday.

The Blues booked their spot in the knockout round for the second season on the spin after substitute Olivier Giroud played the hero with a 91st-minute strike in a 2-1 victory at Roazhon Park in Brittany.

Sevilla, meanwhile, got an even later tally to progress, with Munir El Haddadi scoring in the 95th minute to secure a similar 2-1 triumph.

Callum Hudson-Odoi expertly broke the deadlock for Chelsea midway through the first half after Mason Mount sprung his countryman on the break with a penetrative pass from inside his own half. Hudson-Odoi calmly beat Rennes ‘keeper Alfred Gomis in a one-on-one situation to register his second goal of the Champions League campaign.

The hosts were chasing shadows for much of the opening half before a spell of strong attacking play in the 10 minutes leading up to the interval. Summer signing Serhou Guirassy tested former Rennes ‘keeper Edouard Mendy seven minutes before the break, and the French striker had another chance moments later when Ben Chilwell was dispossessed 40 yards from his own goal.

Guirassy was presented with another prime opportunity to level in the 74th minute, only for Mendy to deny him. Then, seconds later, Mendy pounced on a goalmouth scramble from one of Les Rouges et Noirs 11 corners.

Former Amiens standout Guirassy would get his goal five minutes from time when he headed home unmarked on Benjamin Bourigeaud’s corner.

The Frenchman’s sixth goal on the campaign looked like it was enough to secure the point before countryman Giroud headed a spinning rebound off the palms of Gomis into the top netting.

In Russia, Ivan Rakitic gave Sevilla a fourth-minute advantage when the midfielder struck Lucas Ocampos’ poorly cleared cross from just outside the box and into the bottom corner past a lunging Evgeniy Gorodov.

Rakitic has now scored in both matches against Krasnodar, giving the former Croatian international three goals in all competitions on his Sevilla return following a celebrated six-season spell at Barcelona.

Krasnodar were on the front foot after the break, and the hosts were rewarded for their efforts when Wanderson equalized in the 56th minute. A deft bit of interplay culminated in a deflected strike that sailed past a helpless Tomas Vaclik.

Late heartbreak for Champions League first-timers was the theme of Tuesday’s early kickoffs, and like Rennes, Krasnodar buckled, with Munir registering a 95th-minute winner.

Chelsea and Sevilla sit tied on 10 points, with top spot in the group still to be decided through four matches.
