“You want to know what I am responsible for? For having loved him, for having taken care of him, for having extended his life, for having improved it to the end.”

Dr Luque said Maradona looked “very down” in the days leading up to his death and should have gone to rehab following the op.

“He should have gone to a rehabilitation centre. He didn’t want to,” he said, describing Maradona as “unmanageable”.

“I am the person who has been taking care of him. I’m proud of everything I’ve done. I have nothing to hide. I am at the disposal of justice,” he added.
