Ecce homo. Diego Maradona – grzesznik w świętym mieście albo na odwrót
Diego Maradona – a Sinner in the Holy City, or vice versa

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the image of Diego Maradona, described in Argentina as pibe, a street urchin, a person acting on the borderline of generally accepted order. This holy sinner, football genius, and, at the same time, man of many vices became the most prominent player in the history of the Naples football club. In the capital of Campania, known for its mafia and, simultaneously, deep religiosity Maradona was venerated as a saint precisely due to his inner contradictions. Addicted to cocaine and involved in countless moral scandals he was forgiven due to his goals and dribbling on the football field and became the hero of Naples because he reflected all the ups and downs of the town.
