Messi pays tribute to Maradona -
SIPA
Despite a meeting easily dominated by his team against Osasuna, Messi had to wait until the last quarter of an hour before being able to pay the tribute he had planned for Maradona, who died this week.
After eliminating two players and sending a magnificent skylight strike for the 4-0 - already a form of tribute - the Barcelonan took off his jersey to show the red and black tunic of Newell's Old Boys of Rosario, former club of Maradona and birthplace of Pulga.

With his fingers pointing skyward, Messi then collected himself for a few moments.
“It's a very sad day for all Argentines and for football.
He leaves us but he does not go away, because Diego is eternal.
I keep in me all the beautiful moments I spent with him and would like to take this opportunity to convey my condolences to all his family and friends.
RIP ”, reacted to the six-fold Ballon d'Or Messi at the announcement of the death of his compatriot.
