Football legend Diego Maradona has admitted he felt humiliated when a German hotel piano player treated him to a rendition of "Don't cry for me Argentina" after the South Americans lost to the hosts at the World Cup.
The musician in the bar at the luxury hotel where the 1986 World Cup winner was staying played the song as Maradona mourned Argentina's penalty shoot-out loss to Germany in the quarter-finals, the Berliner Kurier newspaper reported.
Maradona didn't attend the match at Berlin's Olympic Stadium on June 30 because of an argument over ticket allocation.
