The Argentine legend posted a message on his Facebook account vowing to support Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

Diego Maradona's name has always been involved in controversy, and this time, it won't be any different.

The Argentinean legend stepped up to show his support to Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, who has been harshly criticized for his tight-gripped regime. In his post, written in three different languages, Maradona admits he is ready to fight for the Venezuelan president, as he is willing to "put on a uniform" to defend the South American president.

Here's Maradona's full post. Scroll down for the proper translation.

Maradona's comments raised a few eyebrows among fans, who slammed his political views and even mocked how and why he supported Maduro's presidency.

"Maradona stated that he's ready to fight against Imperialism. Just let him know in advance so he can book a private flight from Dubai"

"Maradona enjoys capitalism and made his fortune thanks to capitalism. It would be nice to see him living among Venezuelans"

"Maradona ready to dress up as a soldier."

"Maradona stepped up to support Maduro, and 'enlisted' himself if necessary. All this from his home in Dubai. Makes sense"

"Diego Maradona, the socialist who speaks with his right pocket full of money."
