Messi shows off dance move after Bilbao goal

Messi had recently suggested that he was less selfish now than his earlier years. It seems the Argentine is also a more relaxed individual in his outward appearance as he begins to show a new side of himself not only with ball at his feet and overall work-rate but also with rare displays of his charismatic nature.

Messi was once again in fantastic touch against Athletic Bilbao in La Liga and he scored with a beautiful strike from outside the box after being fed the ball by Ousmane Dembele.

Messi then proceeded to show off his dance skill to celebrate the goal. It was a rare moment for the Barca talisman, who rarely shows any outward signs of his fun side -- it is usually the ball that dazzles at his feet but this time he dazzled without it.

With the goal, Messi now has 25 league goals for this La Liga season and it also put Barca 11 points clear at the top of the La Liga table.

Journalist Gerard Romero later revealed on twitter that Messi was infact doing the dance as a tribute to friend Luis Suarez, who was watching from the stands.

With a more lean and fit Messi, becoming more relaxed in his outward appearance, Barca will go into the final stretch of the season with much cause for optimism.
