At that time, Vladimir Putin sent a message to the Argentine with the aim of having a meeting in Moscow, said Matías Morla, Diego Maradona's former lawyer.

The funny fact was that when Morla explained to Maradona that Putin will meet them at 9:30 in the morning, the Argentine replied:

Those were Diego's words that surprised Morla, who had to explain to the Russian authorities the reason why the Argentine refused Putin's invitation.

Finally, even though it was another day and in the afternoon, Diego met with Vladimir Putin in a pleasant and polite meeting.
