Lionel Messi fined for Maradona tribute celebration – Sydney Morning Herald
The Barcelona star was penalised for honouring his legendary countryman, although the fine amounts to pocket change for Messi.
Lionel Messi and Barcelona have been fined a combined 780 euros ($A1051) after the player was shown a yellow card for lifting his shirt to pay tribute to the late Diego Maradona following his goal in Sunday’s 4-0 win over Osasuna.
Messi, who was fined 600 euros while his club were fined 180, paid homage to his late compatriot by taking off his Barca shirt to reveal a Newell’s Old Boys shirt belonging to Maradona, a gesture that was praised around the world.
