The tribute that Lionel Messi paid to Diego Maradona in FC Barcelona’s win over Osasuna will cost the Catalan cast more than a yellow card, since according to the regulation of the spanish league, they should also face a financial fine.
According to the rules of the championship, “the footballer who, on the occasion of having scored a goal or for any other cause derived from the vicissitudes of the game, lift up your shirt and display any kind of advertising, slogan, legend, acronym, anagram or drawing, whatever its contents or the purpose of the action, will be sanctioned, as the author of a serious offense, with fine of up to 3,000 euros and reprimand “(about 2.8 million Chilean pesos).
The rule in question can be found in different tournaments around the world, since corresponds to a point imposed by FIFA, that does not allow this type of act in any official competition in the world.
Messi’s gesture came when, after scoring the fourth goal against Osasuna, he took off his “azulgrana” shirt and exhibited one of Newell’s, very similar to the one Maradona occupied during his time in the “Leper” group.
