Legendary Argentine footballer Diego Maradona has sparked another controversy by gesturing ‘middle finger’ to Argentina’s football association president Julio Grondona for calling him “bad luck charm”.
Slamming Grondona on Live TV, Maradona said, “I want to tell Grondona, who said that, that what I have, I earned working. What he has was bought by FIFA.” After that he looked at the camera in silence and stuck up his middle finger.
It was reported that Maradona who was watching the match at Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte where Argentina was playing Iran, left just shortly before Lionel Messi scored the winning goal.
Maradona’s arch rival Grondona commented that, “The bad luck charm left and we won.”
