Posted by

Lionel Messi scored Barcelona’s 4th goal today in style and decided to use this chance to pay tribute to a hero of his, Diego Armanda Maradona. They both have links to Newell’s Old Boys with that being Messi’s boy hood club and also a club that Maradona played with for one season when Lionel was just 6 years old.

This link to the icon is exactly what Messi used in his celebration, what a classy and fitting tribute.

The rocket into the top corner is exactly the kind of goal both magicians are known for, being a magically dribbler and being able to slot it into the back of the net with ease.
