Barcelona legend Maradona furious being denied entry to Maracana

Barcelona legend Diego Maradona is furious after being denied access to the Maracana to see Argentina's World Cup win over Bosnia.

Maradona claims he had a media pass, which should have seen him granted permission to enter the stadium.

"They wouldn't let me in anywhere. It's one thing not being able to go and it's another not being allowed to. When there's good will, they let you in. When there's bad will, you might as well forget about it and go straight back to the hotel, as we did," he told TyC Sports.
