I can't be the only one who didn’t know this… What an emotional moment. In 2020, Messi revealed a different club’s shirt under his Barça jersey, and the referee was heartbroken to have to give him a yellow card. In the Barça match against Osasuna, Messi was wearing another team’s shirt underneath and planned to reveal it after scoring a goal. Barça scored three goals, but Messi still hadn’t scored his. However, in the final minute, he dribbled past the entire opposing team and scored a stunning goal from outside the box. Then he took off his shirt and revealed the Newell's Old Boys jersey. Messi did this because his godfather, Maradona, had passed away four days before the match, and he wanted to pay tribute by revealing the shirt of Maradona’s first club. Although it was a touching moment, the referee still had to give Messi a yellow card.
