Messi pays tribute to Maradona after Barcelona goal

Lionel Messi scored Barcelona’s fourth goal of the afternoon against Osasuna on Sunday and celebrated by dedicating his strike to Diego Maradona.

The Barcelona captain scored a typically brilliant goal to cap off a fine afternoon’s work for Ronald Koeman’s men at the Camp Nou.

Messi then took off his shirt to reveal a Newell’s Old Boys shirt with a No. 10 on the back in honor of Maradona. The Argentine had a brief spell with Messi’s boyhood club towards the end of his career.

Barcelona also paid tribute to Maradona before kick-off at the Camp Nou.
