Did Messi make phone call gesture over contract talks after goal?

The Argentine star scored a brilliant goal and then appeared to gesture toward the stands

Lionel Messi appeared to send a message to Barcelona's president Josep Maria Bartomeu as he celebrated his goal against Celta Vigo.

The star attacker scored a brilliant opening goal on Saturday, starting the move with a great turn, marauding through the backline and delivering a great left-footed strike that left keeper Sergio Alvarez helpless.

But it was what he did afterward that caught the eye. During his celebrations, Messi appeared to use his hand as a phone and then gesture to the stands.
