Diego Maradona signed for Barcelona in 1982 at the age of 21.

The Argentine scored his debut Barca goal in his first official game for Blaugrana – against Valencia in La Liga.

Overall, Maradona netted 30 goals in 43 appearances for Barca – and one of his goals was especially remarkable since it was bagged in El Clasico.

However, people still remember him better for his Argentina times. Maradona was involved in 10 goals at the glorious 1986 World Cup – and no other player has recorded better numbers since then.
