Lionel Messi scored his first goal of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia where Argentina legend, Diego Maradona who was in attendance pulled up a celebration that raised eyebrows. The former national team coach also used the middle finger as Argentina took the lead against Nigeria in their 2-1 win. A clip that followed afterward proved that Maradona may have been intoxicated – may be naturally or otherwise. Football fans, however, took to Twitter to pour out their reactions with some opining that the Argentina football legend might be far from normal, but we all know him as a drama king. LOL. Below was how football fans reacted to Maradona’s celebration of Messi’s goal.
Maradona perfectly describes the 4 years of Engineering. #ARGNGA #NGAARG pic.twitter.com/rIaqLtV47G

After the high, comes the low. Sad seeing Maradona like this to be honest. #ARG
