“Life is a lotteryOf day and nightLife is a lotteryAnd you go up and you go up…”Remember the best party you’ve ever attended in your entire life? Multiply it by 100, and yet you’ll be nowhere near this one. It probably has something to do with the fact it’s happening somewhere up there in the sky, with hundreds of guests levitating in an attempt to find the perfect bar to put their drink at while dancing to this thrilling tune. It smells of the finest Cuban cigars, the ones that the party’s Host (and resident DJ at the same time), used to enjoy back in the day. And it sounds like the smoothest songs of the latino genre, as dozens of jaw-dropping, barely-dressed female dancers are pumping up the already heated atmosphere.Hedonism in a nutshell… (©Reuters)OK, but what’s the reason for this out-of-this-world spectacle, you might ask? Well, there’s one, or actually as many as five almost similar reasons, and all of them have just one thing in common – the Host. The Man they’ve all been waiting for finally shows up with five trophies in his hand as the celebration reaches its peak. That mythical Hand of God has gathered it all in the course of only a few months. And there’s a zero chance this party-addict would miss an opportunity to tell the world he’s completed it all.Return to innocence”If I was MaradonaI’d live like himBecause the world is a ballThat has to be experienced to the fullest”During his exciting, though somewhat turbulent career, the late Diego Armando Maradona used to represent several prominent clubs across two continents, including Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli and Sevilla. And, of course, his most loved one, Argentina. The legendary football magician, who spent his entire life dribbling opponents like sins and vice versa, rose to eternity thanks to some unbelievable individual performances and moves. Both on and off the pitch.A year has passed since the ‘Golden Kid’ left us – long live Maradona!Diego died in November 2020, and his death not only made him eternal, but almost raised him to the level of saint for millions of his worshipers. The lack of apparition was the only thing that separated him from actual, approved saints. But now, we’re not so sure anymore after several results of his former sides made it almost impossible not to think Maradona had something to do with it.In the span of just several months, all of Diego’s beloved ones triumphed in their respective competitions.##NAJAVA_MECA_7298737##Firstly, in late October, Boca Juniors won the Argentine title in the dramatic final round, just two points clear of their closest rival. Then, as we all saw, Diego’s national side, led by his successor Lionel Messi finally won the World Cup title, the first one since Maradona singlehandedly guided them to that one back in 1986.The circle is closed: Messi joins Diego in the pantheon of immortalsAs if it was not enough, the string of successes of Diego-attached teams continued in 2023. Probably the most anticipated and thus celebrated one was in Italy, where his Napoli finally won Scuddetto, the first one since 1991, when – who other than – Maradona, took them to the top.Do you see the window Diego’s face covers? Well, the Italians have opened it for the first time since 1990To complete this winning streak, another of his former clubs, Barcelona, returned to the La Liga throne, while Sevilla – whom Maradona represented in the early ’90s in the aftermath of his cocaine scandal in Italy – topped Roma in the recent Europa League final to complete this stunning pearl of gold medals for the party Host.Now, it’s time to celebrate it properly, and there’s no better DJ than this one, for sure…”If I was MaradonaI’d live like himIf I was MaradonaIn front of any goalIf I was MaradonaI’d never make a mistakeIf I was MaradonaLost someplace…”
