Maradona ecstatic after Messi’s goal against Nigeria (video)

An incredible moment from iconic Diego

Newsroom June 26 10:03

It just had to be him. Lionel Messi, who struggled in previous games to make any impact, has scored the 100th goal at the 2018 World Cup ending a 22-shot run without scoring in the competition.

Messi got on the end of a sublime Ever Benega pass to stroke home from inside the penalty area.

Argentina fans proceeded to go absolutely wild inside the Saint Petersburg Stadium, including this man.

It was a scene like something out of a movie and when cameras panned toward Diego Maradona, the legendary figure celebrated in the only way he knows how.

It looks like he’s having an outer-body experience.
