Maradona leaves heartbreaking message about his youngest son

Football legend Diego Maradona had recorded a heartbreaking message about his youngest son hours before his demise. 

Maradona asked the stepfather of his son, to take good care of the seven-year-old Dieguito Fernando, reported the Daily Mail.

In the recording, he asked Mario Baudry, the boyfriend of his son's mother: 'Look after her and look after my angel, who is incomparable.' 

Maradona shared son Dieguito Fernando with his former long-term girlfriend, Veronica Ojeda who attended the retired footballer's funeral alongside Dieguito last Thursday. 

Maradona is survived by five children, including his daughters Dalma, 33, and Giannina, 31, by his first and only wife Claudia Villafane, 58, to whom he was married from 1984 to 2004.

He had his youngest son Diego Fernando with his long-term girlfriend Veronica Ojeda in 2013, while he only acknowledged Diego Junior, 34, and daughter Jana, 23, in the last five years, both born after short flings.

Maradona died of a heart attack aged 60 last Wednesday just two weeks after being discharged from the hospital for a bleed on his brain.

The football legend died of 'acute lung edema and chronic heart failure', according to a preliminary autopsy report, in his sleep at noon while resting at his home in Tigre, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
