"It is the biggest happiness one can have," Maradona told a press conference shortly after returning to Buenos Aires from Madrid, where he spent several days with his daughter Giannina and Atletico Madrid star Sergio Aguero.
"I thought that saying 'I'm a granddad' would make me old but when I saw 'Benja' a big youthful wave swept over me and gave me a beautiful new sensation, the desire to keep on living," said the 48-year-old Maradona.
Benjamin Aguero, born Thursday in the Spanish capital, has been registered as member in Independiente, Boca Juniors and Atletico Madrid.
