NAPOLI, 1984-85

1984-85 was the first season for Diego in Naples. He played a good tournament, but the people expected much more from him. Napoli went close to relegation in the first half of the tournament, but then lost only one match (1-2 in Milan against AC Milan) in the second half.
Maradona was the star and he enchanted the fans when he scored a hat-trick against Lazio when Napoli won 4-0. In that match, he scored one goal directly from the corner kick and another one with a beautiful lob from just outside the penalty area!

He played 30 matches and scored 14 goals. He was the top goalscorer of the team, and led Napoli to the 8th position in Serie A as Verona won the title.

Here is the full list of the goals scored by Maradona:
