Diego Maradona Jr.'s controversial statement about Riquelme: 'I chose the right side'

The eternal dispute between Pablo Aimar and Juan Román Riquelme marked a generation of football fans and divided passions. While one excelled at River and the other did so at Boca, it ended up swaying many kids when it came time to choose a jersey, and Diego Maradona Jr. was no exception.

In a conversation with Juan Pablo Varsky on Clank!, the son of the Ten confessed: "I was always a River fan. When I was 10 years old, matches started being broadcast in Italy. At that time, you were either for Riquelme or for Aimar. I chose the good side, Aimar. He was better. From a football perspective, I liked him more."

It is worth remembering that Diego Maradona and Riquelme had serious differences, especially after the current Boca president resigned from the Argentina National Team citing differences in "codes" with the then head coach. Meanwhile, Diego himself always praised Aimar, to the point of recognizing him as one of his favorites.
