<p><b>Drugs, cartels, mafia, addiction, the FBI, and coercion - this is the untold story behind the tragic decline of soccer's most gifted and controversial legend.</b><br><br>Maradona was soccer's ultimate genius - a magician on the pitch whose talent rivalled only Pelé. But off the field, the boy from the barrios of Buenos Aires became entangled in a dark web of criminal influence and personal demons. From the Cali Cartel's attempts to lure him into the drug trade, to the Camorra's grip on his life in Naples; from clashes with the Italian government to Pablo Escobar's sinister hospitality, Maradona's life was a battleground far beyond soccer.<br><br>Battling addiction, betrayal, and exploitation, Maradona's story is one of genius corrupted - a man caught between adulation and self-destruction, whose medical neglect and FBI scrutiny culminated in a tragic end. Marking the 40th anniversary of Argentina's legendary 1986 World Cup victory, <i>Killing Maradona</i> is a searing investigation into the forces that destroyed soccer's first 'Golden Boy.'</p>
