Since the death of Diego Armando Maradona on Wednesday many teams around the world and not just in the football industry have been making exciting gestures for him.
Today (Sunday) came the turn of Barcelona who hosted Osasuna for a home game at the Camp Nou and apart from the minute of silence held in all the games in the world, the Catalans, in whom the phenomenon played his name in the stands framed with the number 10, worn by Diego.
Professionally Barça knew they had to win after their tough season opener and not only did they defeat their humble rival 0-4, they also probably got inspired by Maradona and delivered one of their best games this year, if not the best.
In the 30th minute, Barça went up to 0: 1.
Jordi Alba gave a width to Coutinho who missed but the rebound went to Martin Braithwaite who pushed close.
In the 43rd minute, the goal of the game came.
Jordi Alba was involved again, passed a wide ball that was deflected away by the defense and Antoine Griezmann reached the ball and off the field released a bomb from the air.
His most beautiful goal since arriving at the club.
Griezmann was not satisfied with his goal and in the 57th minute he added cooking.
The Frenchman snatched a ball from the visitors' defensive player, and after the ball he was trying to deliver was returned to him by an opposing defensive player, he provided a pass to Felipe Coutinho who scored easily for an exposed goal.
In the 73rd minute, the exciting goal of the game came.
Leo Messi received a ball from outside the box, advanced towards the edge of the box and sent a bomb to the connections.
He dedicated the goal to Diego Maradona when he took off a shirt and revealed a Newell's Old Boys shirt with the number 10, where Maradona began his career.
What could overshadow a win is Clement Langela's injury that received a powerful blow to the ankle and was replaced when 2 teammates helped him off the field.
