Even his gestures while celebrating his many goals get worldwide attention, and Lionel Messi decided to put this one to good use.
Soon after scoring Barcelona's second goal against Sevilla -his first of the evening-, Messi looked at one camera and put up two fingers while crossing his cheek. The reason? "La Pulga" was promoting a campaign to help cancer patients around the world, just like he did on his Twitter feed a couple of weeks ago.
"For the Brave" . Do like Messi does and help us beat child cancer. Donate now!"

Even if we look up to him for his deeds on the pitch, Messi also deserves praise for his work away from it. Hats off to the Argentinean!
