Argentine Legend Diego Maradona is not new to controversies and his latest post on Instagram was not devoid of any controversy either.
Maradona's post came as a reaction to Argentina's loss to the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Tuesday, November 14 in Krasnodar Russia.
The Argentines lost a two goal lead to lose the game by 4-2 and it brought an angry reaction from the football great.

Maradona is known to be a very vocal fan of the Albiceleste Diego Maradona's the, but the Napoli legend is most fondly remembered for his role in winning the 1986 World Cup, he also spent two years in charge between 2008-2010.
