Barcelona star Lionel Messi's tribute to Diego Maradona in victory over Osasuna is set to cost him.
Messi paid tribute to the memory of Maradona on Sunday by stripping off his Barca shirt to show a Newell's strip after scoring. Newell's was Maradona's last club before he retired.
The gesture was punished by a yellow card, which will be accompanied by a fine imposed on FC Barcelona - up to €3,000.
Despite the beauty of the gesture, the regulations - article 91 of the RFEF disciplinary code - apply regardless of the motivation.
But for many in Argentina, Messi's tribute will long be remembered.
