Diego Maradona Claims he was Abducted by Aliens and Disappeared for Three Days

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Diego Maradona took everyone by surprise when he said in an interview with TYV Sports, he had been abducted by aliens and was missing for three days.

It all started when the show’s presenters asked him if he believed in extraterrestrial beings and more than believing, the Argentinean said he had already been in contact with them.

“Why would they invent these things? Once, after drinking too much, I was absent for three days. I came home and said that the ETs had taken me. I said, ‘They took me, I can’t talk about it,'” he said.

Maradona made a mystery and gave no more details of the experience. Still during the interview, the former athlete also told how his first sexual relationship was. “At 13, in a basement, with an older lady. She was reading a newspaper.”

It’s worth remembering that this isn’t the first time the Argentinean has made controversial statements. He once claimed that he’d taken the field to play having spent the night before celebrating.
