Diego Maradona Allegedly Caught Doing Racist Gesture At The World Cup

World Cup legends have flocked to Russia this summer including Diego Maradona who was allegedly caught doing a racist gesture on Saturday.

Maradona was in attendance for Argentina's opening game of their World Cup campaign against Iceland.

The Argentina legend is loved for his heroics in the World Cup. But his appalling behaviour during the Group D match is beyond unacceptable.

According to Jacqui Oatley, Maradona greeted some South Korea fans before apparently producing a racist gesture by pulling his eyes to the side.

"Maradona not so cool now. Some South Korea fans just shouted "Diego" and he obliged with a smile, kiss and wave. Then pulled his eyes to the side in a clearly racist gesture. All of us who saw it are stunned."

What he did got people talking.

Not cool, Diego.
