Argentina football legend Diego Maradona was unable to travel to Dubai because his passport was &quot;stolen&quot;, the World Cup winner&#39;s lawyer said. 
 
&quot;They (Buenos Aires airport authorities) told him his passport&nbsp;had been reported as stolen despite Diego holding it in his hands!&quot; Diego Morla, Maradona&#39;s lawyer said. 
 
&quot;Diego is really surprised by this saga, which has strangely happened right after he criticised the government,&quot; Morla told AFP. 
 
Maradona had recently slammed the new government. He had said the country had fallen to its knees ever since the Mauricio Macri administration had come to power. 
 
&quot;Logically, I&#39;d like for Macri to turn things around and give some joy to the people, but for now all I see is firings,&quot; Maradona had told Argentina&#39;s radio La Red.&nbsp;
