On Tuesday night in St. Petersburg, Lionel Messi and Co pulled off a heist to sneak into the round of 16, after a thrilling 2-1 win over Nigeria. Messi scored the opening goal and Marcos Rojo scored a winner in the 86th minute, sandwiched between a Victor Moses penalty for Nigeria.

Where the Argentina football team were the main show, the sideshow was just as entertaining. Well, some might even think it was more entertaining.

Diego Maradona has probably never been called a sideshow but his antics during the game were a source of constant amusement during the game. If they had a Maradona cam that one could subscribe to, it would be overbooked.

It started with him unveiling a banner with... wait for it... his own portrait. He then danced with fans, he needed people to stop him from jumping off the balcony, he prayed to the gods and finally, he gave the finger salute after Rojo scored the eventual winner for Argentina.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to the madness and make sure you keep an eye on him in the next game too.

It started even before kickoff...

The man came up with the most unique of celebrations for the first goal.

And when it got all too much to take, he decided to take a mid-game nap.

And when, Rojo scored the winner at the death... boy, El Diego went a bit nuts.

Some got serious though...

All in all, it was The Diego Maradona Show, thank you for coming.
