A shocking video has emerged online appearing to show Argentina legend Diego Maradona attacking his girlfriend Rocio Oliva.
Maradona, now 53, is shown in the clip aggressively shouting at Oliva as she films him, before the retired footballer, who seemed to be drunk, hits her.
The video was released by Spanish newspaper El Mundo, and in a translation by the New York Daily News, the woman is heard to be crying ‘stop, stop, stop hitting me.’
Reports in South America say Maradona has been made aware of the circulation of the clip and has confirmed it is him, but denied the fact an assault took place.
