See what happened that made Carlos Tevez kiss Diego Maradona on his lips (Video)
When a man kisses another man on the lips some believe it is a sign of love as they are homosexuals.
However Carlos Tevez locked lips with Diego Maradona for a different reason entirely.
Tevez was the hero with a 72nd-minute strike which proved to be the winner as Boca Juniors beat Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata 1-0 on Saturday, March 7th.
Fierce passion is an endearing trait of Scottish football, but Argentina is a different level of mental. Carlos Tevez won the league for BocaJuniors with this goal last night.#BocaJuniors š„ā½ļø pic.twitter.com/LbSlhvSeyb
