Maradona Blasts Real as "stray dogs" (PA International) Updated: 2004-09-20 14:37
Diego Maradona has written off Real Madrid and claims Arsenal are
the best team in Europe.
鈥淭he Galacticos aren鈥檛 more than a band of
stray dogs,鈥� Maradona said as he left for Cuba, where he is to continue
his treatment to recover from drug addiction.
After watching Real鈥檚
Champions League defeat by Bayer Leverkusen, Maradona said: 鈥淚 felt
embarrassed watching them.
鈥淩oberto Carlos didn鈥檛 know what was he
doing on the pitch and Beckham was just looking for the flashes. All of
them just wanted the match to finish. That鈥檚 not football.鈥�
And he
recommended that the Spanish team sign Argentine midfielder Javier
Mascherano. 鈥淗e鈥檚 a monster, with him Real Madrid would be a real team,鈥�
he said.
And Argentina鈥檚 World Cup-winning skipper added: 鈥淚 do
like Arsenal a lot, they鈥檙e the best in Europe. And Thierry Henry is a
鈥楳aradonian鈥� player.鈥� |
