PopeWatch: Peace Brawl

Diego Maradona had to be restrained by security staff after he clashed with Juan Sebastian Veron during Pope Francis’ Match for Peace on Wednesday night.

The Argentina legend showed he’s still got the fire in his belly after an altercation with the former Manchester United midfielder.

Veron played under Maradona for the Argentine national team between 2008-10, but the pair exchanged verbals during the game in Rome and the situation soon became heated.

As the players trudged off towards the tunnel for the half-time break, Maradona is caught on camera looking visibly distressed and had to be held back by staff.
