„Barcelona“ leader Lionel Messi hinted at a mystery for football fans. In yesterday's match against „Leganes“ in the „La Liga“ league, the Argentine scored a penalty kick and secured a 2-0 victory unusually emphasizing his goal. The Spanish media immediately began to speculate whether the striker's gesture after the peaceful strike would not be dedicated to the American discoverer Christopher Columbus, because of whom statues in Barcelona dedicated to him began to provoke passions. Vandalism in the USA calls for the destruction of statues dedicated to the famous discoverer also sparked calls to act the same way with one of the symbols of the city in Barcelona.
