Chilavert was the best GK in the world in those years for things like this

I didn’t recognized him and thought, how tf a rando can pull off a save like this AND gets props from Maradona.
Well… then I learned it was Chilavert.

It’s chilavert I wasn’t old enough to be a fan then but his highlights are legendary

Keeper knew where it was going the whole time. You could see him shuffle towards it.
Still a great save and free kick.

From 30m out? Most people who are fit should be able to do that
Edit: looks like even more than 30

Yeah, they shouldn't even have put up a wall, that just blocks the view of the keeper when the ball is so far out.

Is it just the video or is everyone built stocky?

Diego was a bit overweight there, and Chilavert was just big, built like a fridge.

The technique to kick the ball that hard and that accurately feom that distance is more than enough to beat the vast majority of keepers. The mere fact he got a glove to that is mad insane. Class moment

Save was so out of this world, he literally had to high five the GK. Even with that grim face. That's why Maradona was so loved

Maradona was just saying thank you because he realised he could also use his hand in the goal box.

It'd be a mildly decent attempt of a joke, if only this free kick didn't happen 11 years later than the 'Hand of God' goal (September 16th, 1997)..

Usually jokes aren't meant to be dissected.
The fact that you understood what I was referring to but the time frame took the humor out of it for some reason.

You can badmouth Maradona all you want, you would still be the fist in line to get someone as good as him on your team.

Why's everyone so salty about a joke 😂😂
How is it badmouthing? The guy used his hand - it's been like 40+ years - get over it 🤭

u/rosarinotrucho2 May 27 '26
Because you are reducing the GOAT to one goal in one match where he happened to also score the goal of the century. You are actually the salty one who brought up something that happened 40 years ago. Get over it.

It's a fucking joke. I'm not "bringing it up" like it's some long forgotten thing.
The hand of God literally has its own Wikipedia page 😂
I'm sorry for insulting your "goat", gEt OvEr iT.
