We talk of course, about that unforgettable warm-up prior to Napoli's second-leg UEFA Cup semi-final against Bayern Munich in 1989.Given the significance of the fixture, at least some element of nervousness would have been more than understandable under the circumstances.GMS GiveawayEnter GiveawayWith a soundtrack of Opus' hit track Live is Life ringing around the arena, Maradona's pre-game drills most certainly suggested anything but nerves.Nonchalantly juggling the ball in time with the music, balancing it on his head and skipping around with his laces undone—the footage was a viral hit before any of us knew what viral even meant. It encapsulated the forward's effortlessly brilliant, care-free attitude to the game perfectly.

Napoli headed into the game with a 2-0 cushion from the first leg. A 2-2 draw in the second leg saw them set up a thrilling final with Stuttgart.
