Diego Maradona delivers tackle on his grandson Benjamin Aguero during garden football game

 

It seems as though Diego Maradona does not like to be outdone by anybody after the Argentina legend was filmed tackling his grandson, and child of Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, during a one-on-one game of football.

In a video posted on YouTube, Maradona was seen playing with his grandson, Benjamin Aguero, in what appeared to be his garden when the child attempted to dribble past the 54-year-old.

After deciding to take on the legendary former player, Benjamin's run was stopped in its tracks after Maradona then tackled his grandson to the ground.

Despite falling over following the challenge, Benjamin got straight back up and continued his run before he beat a dog and drove the ball into the back of the net.

The footage appears after Benjamin’s father, Sergio, scored his first international hat-trick in Argentina’s 5-0 victory over Bolivia on Sunday.
