Football icon Diego Maradona said he hopes a second 'Hand of God' will intervene to put an end to the coronavirus pandemic currently sweeping the planet.
The former Napoli and Barcelona star, who now manages Argentina Primera Division side Gimnasia, has seen his club avoid relegation after the season was written off on Tuesday.
