Messi pointed up to the stands after his dance, leading many to wonder just why he did the dance.
The Argentine international’s celebration prompted several theories including that it was a tribute to his recently born son Ciro and that had been taught the dance by new Barca signing Yerry Mina, who also loves to shake it when it a goal is scored.
But the answer was far simpler, It was actually just a little tribute to his good friend Luis Suarez.
Catalan TV channel Esports RAC1 reported that Messi’s dance was a private joke between him, Suarez and the pair’s families, with the Uruguayan – who was missing the match through suspension – stationed up in the private box to where Messi pointed after the goal.
Both sides featured in the mid-week’s Champions League and the Europa League tournaments respectively, but it was that Catalan side that made it through to the last eight.
