The \u003cstrong\u003e1986 Copa del Mundo\u003c\/strong\u003e would be his tournament, his work, his masterpiece — and this Copa jersey is its material witness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eAlongside Maradona, the \u003cstrong\u003eAlbiceleste\u003c\/strong\u003e could count on \u003cstrong\u003eJorge Valdano\u003c\/strong\u003e, an elegant and crucial goal-scoring forward, on \u003cstrong\u003eJorge Burruchaga\u003c\/strong\u003e, who scored the decisive goal in the final, and on midfielder Jorge Luque.
