XtraTime Web Desk: Diego Maradona, the most colourful and iconic figure in the history of world football has once again swore and given the “middle fingers” in front of millions of TV viewers to the Nigerian fans as he celebrated Argentina’s crucial late winner against Nigeria on Tuesday.





The 1986 World Cup winning legend raised the middle fingers of both hands as he was held back in the Saint Petersburg Stadium.

Maradona bent forward to release his emotions – after letting rip earlier as Argentina struggled.




The moment Marcus Rojo sneaked the goal that put Argentina in the last 16, Maradona could control himself to express his boundless joy and relief.
