An overweight but skilful Diego Maradona made a successful reappearance as the Rest of the World XI came back from 2-0 down to beat Europe 4-3 in a benefit game for Jean-Marc Bosman in Barcelona on Sunday. Only 2,000 fans were present in the Olympic stadium to see the former Argentinian World Cup captain, who recently announced his return to Boca Juniors. Maradona played for an hour before being substituted.
