LIONEL MESSI has been hit with a £540 fine for his tribute to Diego Maradona after the legend’s death. The Barcelona superstar started his career at Newell's Old Boys and unveiled their shirt in tribute to his fellow Argentine - who also played there - after scoring in Sunday's 4-0 win against Osasuna. The goal had striking similarities to a goal scored by Maradona on his Newell's debut 27 years ago. He picked up the ball outside of the box, beat two defenders then fired a shot into the far corner of the net. The celebration forced referee Mateu Lahoz to book Messi for removing his Barca shirt, in line with the Spanish FA's rules. It has now been confirmed that the 33-year-old has now been sanctioned. The forward, who earns over £60m-a-year, should have to cough up a £540 fine. And Barcelona have also been hit with a fine of £316 over the incident - although they plan to appeal. The rule which imposes a fine for celebrations like Messi's is not exclusive to the Spanish league, it is also applied by FIFA. On FIFA's official website, it states: "The IFAB, the body responsible for the Laws of the Game, decided to add a detail to Law 12 relating to ‘Fouls and Misconduct’, stating: “A player who removes his jersey after scoring a goal will be cautioned for unsporting behaviour.” Source: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/13360088/lionel-messi-fined-maradona-shirt-tribute/amp/ 3 Likes 5 Shares

Messi already knew the rule before going on to break it. Messi knew that there is a penalty for that and he doesn’t care or mind the cost involved in paying the tribute to one’s idol. Good for Messi for acknowledging the idol not minding the cost, he will pay it. 205 Likes 13 Shares |

540 pounds is nothing too much worth losing for the idol, Diego Maradona after all, humans are used to bury some great men in Africa. After he, Messi has lived a long fulfilling life I believe a certain footballer would do the same if not more for him 30 Likes 5 Shares |

Sad It is unfortunate that soccer has turned into robots. The human nature of the game is removed. SO One cannot mourn his fellow football legend again. If I were the entire Barca players, we will all pull our jersey to mourn the legend. Laws are created for man and not man for the law. Who was offended by tlhis action? Some laws are made to earn money and nothing more. 18 Likes 2 Shares |
