Maradona calls into TV show to attack and insult his nephew Argentina Called him a coward

Walter Christian Machuca has been heavily criticised live on Argentine TV by his uncle Diego Maradona, who labelled him a coward.

Unhappy at what he was hearing during a segment with his nephew on the 'Confrontados' show, the former footballer rang up the studio and was put on air.

"I'm watching the number one coward, this nephew that I have," Maradona started.

"I'm laughing at how you put together a show with this false thing, with him.

"He is someone whose mother can't see him and who hasn't seen me for a long time.

"He broke lots of my cars.

"He's someone who even stole money from me.

"He's the biggest coward in the world because he hides."

This was just the latest high-profile incident from Maradona, who also made headlines with his antics in the stands during the 2018 World Cup.
