Messi completes a cycle with Maradona: Goodbye, Diego

Lionel Messi completed a cycle with Diego Maradona on Sunday. Barcelona's No.10 again scored a goal that appeared to be a copy of one of Diego's, a player with whom he has been compared countless times.

Both Argentine, both played for Barcelona and both have ties with Newell's Old Boys as well. Messi wore the famous red and black shirt at underage level, while Maradona represented the first team.

On Sunday, the Barcelona superstar scored a goal against Osasuna that mirrored one the ex-No.10 bagged for Newell's in a friendly against Emelec, a game that Messi attended as a six-year-old.

In celebration of the goal, Messi remembered the icon. He stripped off his Barcelona shirt to reveal one of Newell's, complete with the No.10 on the back.

Newell's own Twitter account posted the picture, accompanied by a message for followers to "insert the words yourself because I can't."

Messi, on his own social media, shared an image that showed him celebrating today's goal and Maradona during his time with the Argentine club, simply saying: "Goodbye, Diego."
