Koeman has revealed that Messi was affected by Maradona’s death.
Leo Messi dedicated his goal against Osasuna to Diego Maradona who passed away on November 25. The 33-year-old took off his shirt to reveal an old no.10 jersey similar to what Maradona wore during his time at Newell’s Old Boys, Leo’s childhood club.
Here’s how Barcelona’s captain scored his goal.
Messi gets the ball not far away from Osasuna’s penalty box. Dribbles past the defenders and takes a shot.
Top corner, no chances for the goalkeeper.
As fans on the Internet later noted, Leo’s goal resembled very closely the goal Maradona scored on his debut for Newell’s.
Maradona gets the ball not far from Emelec‘s penalty box, dribbles past the defenders and shoots at the goal.
Top corner, no chances for the goalkeeper.
The only difference is that Maradona’s goal came from the opposite flank and he scored with his right foot.
