On Sunday, Lionel Messi dedicated his goal vs Osasuna to Diego
Maradona. After scoring a typically brilliant "Messiesque" goal,
Messi took off his shirt to reveal a Newell's Old Boys shirt with a No. 10 on
the back in honor of Maradona. The goal he scored closely resembled that which
Maradona scored for Newell's Old Boys on October 7, 1993 vs Emelec.
Barcelona paid tribute to Maradona before the game kicked off,
with a minute of silence and the laying of a Maradona shirt in the
center-circle and in the directors' box. The first goal of the game was scored
by Martin Braithwaithe, then Griezmann scored a superb volley and set up
Philippe Coutinho for Barcelona's third. Messi then scored the last in style to
seal a 4-0 victory for Barcelona over Osasuna - a much needed 3 points to boost
their La Liga ranking.
