Diego Maradona shows world-class levels of pettiness towards ex son-in-law Aguero

Still not on the best of terms, then?

Judging by this, it seems Diego Maradona and former son-in-law Sergio Aguero still aren’t on the best of terms.

The Manchester City striker was married to Maradona’s daughter, Gianinna, in 2008, only for the couple to go their separate ways four years later after the birth of their son, Benjamin.

“He’s a wimp, who I don’t even want to name,” Maradona told Argentine radio not long after the couple’s separation.

Six years on and it seems Diego’s feelings haven’t altered towards Aguero. At least, that’s if the following photos are anything to go by…

At a glimpse, there’s nothing to see here. Just one of the greatest footballers of all time, relaxing in his home with his mate, Matias Morla (the guy who originally posted this on Twitter).

But wait. Take a look at the family photos hanging on the wall. Who could the figure with a blacked-out face holding a child possibly be?

Yep. As you’ve probably guessed by now, the picture appears to show Diego’s grandson, Benjamin, in the arms of his father, Aguero, during his Atletico Madrid days.

Aguero’s face, however, appears to have been neatly coloured in with a black marker pen so that Diego and the rest of his clan don’t have to look at it. Ouch.
