Diego Maradona was caught celebrating Argentina's late winner against Nigeria at the World Cup with an offensive gesture on Tuesday.
As television cameras swung his way, seconds after Marcos Rojo's winning goal, Maradona thrust middle-finger gestures with both hands. Swinging his arms back and forth, he also appeared to shout out before the cameras turned away.
The 57-year-old drove Argentina to World Cup glory at Mexico '86, and played at four World Cups in total.
At the 2018 Finals in Russia, Maradona has been a notable presence at all of Argentina's matches, watching from the stands.
It was also reported that Maradona needed assistance to walk from his seat overlooking the pitch and into an adjacent room after the game.
