Messi makes classy gesture to Elche goalkeeper after Barcelona win

The Barcelona captain went over to goalkeeper Édgar Badía after the final whistle and handed over his shirt. Messi then gestured for Badia’s shirt, a move that seemed to take the stopper by complete surprise.
Of course Badia gladly handed over his shirt in what was a really nice moment between the two players at the Camp Nou.
Jordi Alba also scored in the win that takes Barcelona into third place in the table ahead of Saturday’s trip to the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán to face Sevilla.
