Striker Lionel Messi received a penalty after taking off his Barca shirt to pay tribute to the legendary Diego Maradona against Osasuna.

In the 73rd minute of the match between Barça and Osasuna on matchday 11 of La Liga, superstar Lionel Messi dribbled before launching a graceful left-handed shot that hit the opponent’s net.

After this goal, the 33-year-old striker acted to celebrate the legendary Maradona. Messi took off his shirt and raised his hand to the sky. It should be noted that the player was born in 1987 to reveal the shirt of the Newell’s Old Boys club, where Maradona played in the 1993/94 season. This is also Messi’s childhood team.

Messi was fined £ 3,000 after the act of thanks to Maradona

It is understandable that Messi’s special affection for Maradona after his departure is understandable because they are both compatriots and teachers. However, Messi’s respectful action could not prevent him from having to receive a yellow card from referee Antonio Mateu for a foul as he removed his shirt to celebrate.

In addition, in accordance with the regulations of the Spanish Football Federation, the act of a player removing his shirt to celebrate any content, slogans, acronyms, abbreviations, anagrams or drawings. any operator will be warned and fined 3,000 euros. It goes without saying that this rule is also applied by the World Football Federation (FIFA) for tournaments. However, this number is nowhere compared to the huge salary the M10 receives.

In addition to taking off his shirt to celebrate, in the game against Osasuna, Messi almost recreates “The Hand of God” when Maradona scored against England in the quarterfinals of the 1986 World Cup.

In the 29th minute, Braithwaite finished off the goal in the goalkeeper’s goal to stop the opponent. The ball bounced and headed towards the goal. And Messi, standing nearby, tried to jump high so he could hit his head on the net. He even raised his hand to prepare to touch the ball.

It is unclear whether the Barca number 10 intentionally used his hand to play the ball or was just accidental in this situation or not. Fortunately, the ball never touched Messi’s hand and the opening goal for the Catalan team was recognized.
