The
Argentina icon was seen with the cigar during the game at Spartak Stadium on
Saturday and said he was unaware of the regulations as nerves got the better of
him in a match where Lionel Messi missed a penalty.
“Today was a
difficult day for the Argentines, with a lot of tension in our debut in the
World Cup.
“Everyone
has their way of feeling things. I honestly did not know that no one can smoke
in the stadiums,” he said on Instagram.
“I apologise
to everyone and the organisation. Come on Argentina, let’s support our guys,
now more than ever!”
Smoking and
vaping is prohibited inside all 12 World Cup stadiums at the tournament.
