FC Barcelona fans talked about Lionel Messi's disinterest on his first red card for them
The Cules lost the Spanish Supercup to Athletic Club and Lionel Messi, with a bad performance that ended with an unacceptable red card, was pointed as the main culprit.
Today, FC Barcelona was defeated in the Spanish Supercup finalby Athletic Club, who won 3-2 after extra time. For the loser team, Antoine Griezmann scored both goals, but Lionel Messi not only did not play well, he also was sent off for violent conduct. It was his first red card in more than 700 matches with the Blaugranas.
The fans got understandably upset with the result and what Messidid. The Argentinian made it to the 120th minute with no shots on target, despite he had participation in the first goal. But the red card he got by hitting a rival when his team was attacking for the equalizer was extremely disappointing, and destroyed the hopes to go to penalties.
On Instagram, when the match ended, fans commented how let down they were, because the team, with Messi as a leader, did not show that winning mentality. And of course, many of them criticized the actions of the Argentinian, who was pointed as the main responsible for the defeat, and some even made fun of the red card.
They think that Lionel Messi is not interested in playing for FC Barcelona and winning things with them anymore, and has his head somewhere else. Having his first red card at this point might be an indicator of how deconcentrated is he right now, and how these are the last months of him at the club.
