Diego Maradona warming up on April 19 1989, in Munich before the UEFA Cup semi-final return leg between Bayern Munich and Napoli, as the song Live is Life came up on the stadium speakers.
Jürgen Klinsmann's account:
"There were 70,000 people in the stadium and Maradona went on the field. We’re on the other side of the field, warming up like Germans: seriously, focused. There's music playing, the song "Live is Life", and to the rhythm of the song Maradona started juggling the ball. So we stopped our warm-up. What's this guy doing? He's juggling off his shoulders. And we couldn't warm up anymore because we had to watch this guy."
