Last month, during Barcelona's 4-0 LaLiga victory over Osasuna, Messi paid tribute to the late Argentine icon by celebrating with the legendary forward's Newell's Old Boys jersey under his own playing strip.
"... I do not rule out sending €600 (R11 000) to the RFEF and telling them that I'm paying the fine they have given Leo for showing the shirt. I will explain why, because of the tremendous love I had for Diego Armando Maradona and the love I have for Leo Messi. It's not fair."
