While the light blue and white stripes characterised the match shirts, the training kit had its own look and a special place in 1980s football fashion. The Maradona name and the reference to \u003cstrong\u003eHand of God\u003c\/strong\u003e make this model a striking piece of Argentine football nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn June 22, 1986, Argentina faced England in the World Cup quarter-final at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.\u003c\/strong\u003e The match became historic when Maradona first put Argentina ahead with a goal in which he used his hand to send the ball past Peter Shilton. The referee allowed the goal, and Maradona later described the incident as a goal scored partly with his head and partly with the hand of God – hence the famous name \u003cstrong\u003eHand of God\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust four minutes later, Maradona scored one of the World Cup's most famous goals. He received the ball in his own half, dribbled past a series of English players, and scored to make it 2-0. The goal was later voted \u003cstrong\u003eGoal of the Century\u003c\/strong\u003e by FIFA fans, and Argentina won the match 2-1. Two goals in the same match that showcased both Maradona's controversial and brilliant sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArgentina continued all the way to the World Cup final, where they defeated West Germany 3-2. Under national coach \u003cstrong\u003eCarlos Bilardo\u003c\/strong\u003e and with Maradona as captain, Argentina won its second World Cup. Players such as Jorge Valdano, Jorge Burruchaga, and Oscar Ruggeri were important pieces of the team, but it was especially Maradona's performances that made the \u003cstrong\u003e1986 World Cup\u003c\/strong\u003e one of football history's most iconic final tournaments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne hand, one unforgettable solo run, and a World Cup that made Maradona immortal in Argentine football.
