I beg to God for it to become a reality,

Everybody in Argentina can remember 'the hand of God' in the England match in the 1986 World Cup. Now, in my country, the 'hand of God' has brought us an Argentinian pope.

God makes me play well. That is why I always make the sign of a cross when I walk out on to the pitch. I feel I would be betraying him if I didn't.

There would be no debate about who was the best footballer the world had ever seen - me or Pele. Everyone would say me.

To see my country lose a football match is very hard for someone who has worn the shirt.
