Napoli legend Maradona: Chile deserved better

Napoli legend Diego Maradona felt for Chile after their World Cup elimination by Brazil.

Maradona has never been one to keep his opinion to himself and spoke to reporters after the Seleçao scraped through to the quarter-finals on penalties.

"Brazil finished the game on their knees, without attacking. They did not deserve to reach penalties. I was hugely disappointed in them.

"Neymar had physical problems and disappeared in the second half. To be honest, Chile deserved to go through."
