“Tribute to one of the greatest footballers of all time!” Amul wrote and shared an image. The picture shows the football star, at different ages, dribbling. The caption on the doodle reads, “The foot of God.” It, besides being a reference to his amazing footwork, is also a take on his “Hand of God” goal during the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals.

Amul also shared the post on Instagram. “Golden boy,” wrote an Instagram user. “Rip, legend,” expressed another.

Diego Maradona died after suffering a heart attack. He was battling health issues for long. In fact, several weeks ago, he also underwent an emergency brain surgery.
