Barcelona star Lionel Messi's goal celebration against Celta Vigo has been explained.

Messi made an intriguing gesture after both his and Barcelona's first goal against Celta Vigo when he pointed to the stands and put an imaginary phone to his ear.

Messi was pointing up to the stands where his nephew was presumably sitting. He dedicated the goal to the little fellow after he had spent the whole afternoon calling his uncle without him answering, says AS. You might have thought that Messi would have smiled if that was the case.

But that is Messi's story and he is sticking to it.
