The 1986 World Cup offered plenty of entertainment, with the Argentines eventually going on to lift the trophy
Just eight years after winning their first-ever World Cup on home soil, Argentina repeated the trick in Mexico at the 1986 World Cup.
It all started with a 3-1 routine win over South Korea in the group stages, followed by a 1-1 draw with Italy and a 2-0 victory versus Bulgaria.
A narrow 1-0 win over Uruguay in the round of 16 set up a quarter-final clash with England, which would end up becoming one of the most famous matches in the history of the beautiful game.
Diego Maradona. Hand of God. Goal of the tournament. Argentina through to the semi-finals.
Belgium were up next and were dispatched 2-0, before West Germany ended the final in tears following a 3-2 defeat.
But who were Maradona's team-mates on Argentina's way to glory and what happened to them afterwards?
Let's take a look!

Argentina's No.1 goalkeeper at the 1986 World Cup, Pumpido made 36 appearances for his country between 1983 and 1990.
He played in all seven games at the tournament, conceding just five goals in 630 minutes of action, keeping three clean sheets.
Pumpido also featured at the 1990 World Cup, where he broke his leg in Argentina's second group game against the USSR.
After retiring in 1990, Pumpido turned to management in 1999, taking charge of Union Santa Fe, Olimpia, Newell's Old Boys and Veracruz among others, before saying farewell to the game in 2013.

Cuciuffo got the chance to feature at his first and only World Cup in 1986 and made six appearances at the tournament, playing some of the best games of his career in helping Argentina win the trophy.
The defender passed away aged 43 in 2004 from a fatal gunshot would in the stomach while out hunting.

The rock in Argentina's defence at the tournament, Brown scored the opening goal of the 1986 World Cup final courtesy of an assist from Jorge Burruchaga in the 22nd minute.
Nicknamed 'Tata', he also represented his nation at three Copa America tournaments and made 36 appearances over the course of his international career between 1983 and 1989.
He passed away in 2019 at the age of 62.

Nicknamed "El Cabezon", Ruggeri was part of three World Cup campaigns with Argentina.
His most epic moment for his country, though, came at the 1986 World Cup where he was one of the best defenders of the tournament as he led his team to glory.
Four years later, Ruggeri also witnessed one of the most disappointing moments of his career in the 1990 World Cup final against West Germany as Argentina lost.
He ended his career after Romania knocked Argentina out of the 1994 World Cup.
Ruggeri played 97 games for Argentina between 1983 and 1994, scoring seven goals.
He is currently a member of the show '90 Minutos de Fútbol', which airs in Fox Sports Latin America, having previously tried his hand at coaching at clubs such as Club Almagro, Atletico Rafaela and Ferro Carril Oeste..
