It's highly unlikely anyone will touch the hearts of football lovers the way the little man from Lanus in Buenos Aires did.
Maradona's former club Napoli paid special tribute to the Argentine before a 2-0 win over Rijeka.
Thousands of Argentines lined the roads as the procession passed on the hour-long journey from the presidential palace in central Buenos Aires, where Maradona had lain in state during the day.
A flawed genius alright but a generation of football fans loved Maradona for his unpredictability, for his childish irresponsibility and for having the guts to take on the officialdom.
Maradona came to Naples in 1984 when he was 23 for a then world-record $7.5 million contract. Over the next seven years, he helped perennial underdogs Napoli to their only two Serie A titles and their sole major European trophy.
Maradona's pinnacle of glory came when he captained Argentina to win the World Cup in 1986, before plunging to misery when he was kicked out the 1994 World Cup for doping.
Maradona scored 34 goals for Argentina and an incredible 259 goals for his club teams.
Maradona's personal doctor, neurologist Leopoldo Luque, said that even small amounts of alcohol consumption could have negative effects in combination with the medication the football great needs for his recovery.
Harry Kane netted his 200th goal for Tottenham Hotspur as they won 3-1 at Ludogorets.
Maradona had been feeling poorly for some time and will be held under observation for "at least three days", his personal doctor Luque told reporters.
