Victor Hugo Morales's famous radio commentary of Maradona's second goal against England at the 1986 World Cup. The emotional call is for many Argentines inseparable from the goal itself.
HN points to it as the best commentary of the goal, in Spanish, usually after Maradona's death or in discussions of remarkable goals.

It is impossible to predict but we can talk about the past: Messi is Argentinian and Maradona too. A goal like this will be difficult to see in the future: ▶ this video
In case someone has not seen the second goal against England in 1986 Original footage: ▶ this video An interview many years later: link
Best commentary of that goal is in Spanish: ▶ this video The ease with which he played, and lived, was the stuff of legend. There's something tragic in it as well, since it probably contributed to his early passing.
I'm not very familiar with football either, but I can say that OP is heavily exaggerating and probably not familiar with sports history at all. Heck, I'm not huge sports fan, I can come up with half a dozen more impressive feats in sport off the top of my head. * Beamon's long jump record in 1968 Olympics: link * Maradona's goal of the century: ▶ this video * Zidane CL final, won Real Madrid its 9th CL title: link * O'Sullivan, fastest 147[1] in history (snooker = 4D chess in my opinion): link * Sotomayor's high jump world record in 1988 Olympics (his lowest time and still 0.01 m higher than anyone else since then!): link * Usain Bolt [1] 147 is the maximum number of points you can get in a game of snooker. The only way to do this is to alternate pocketing a red ball then a black ball until all red balls are off the table; this nets you 120 points. Once this is done, you need to pocket the remaining colored balls, ending with the black ball, for an additional 27 points. All this must be done without conceding a single point to your opponent (i.e., no mistakes) . Start watching from 1:10 for the action.
