The Two Escobars

How the fates of two Colombians - Andres Escobar, the inspirational captain of Nacional, and Pablo Escobar, the notorious leader of the Medellin cartel - were permanently linked.

At a time when drug money fuelled the sport known in the underworld as 鈥淣arco-soccer鈥, the fates of Andres Escobar, the inspirational captain of Colombia's Nacional, and Pablo Escobar, the notorious leader of the Medellin cartel, were permanently linked.

When Andres was murdered 10 days after scoring an own goal against the USA in the first round of the 1994 World Cup, it cost the country more than a shot at the title.
