Maradona’s Impact: Diego Maradona, the legendary Argentine footballer, played a crucial role in leading Argentina to the final. Although Argentina fell short in the final match against West Germany, Maradona’s performances throughout the tournament were widely praised.
Defensive Tournament: The 1990 World Cup was characterized by its defensive style of play, with many matches being decided by narrow margins and low-scoring outcomes. Only 115 goals were scored in the entire tournament, making it one of the lowest-scoring World Cups in history.
