Messi, in trouble: the impressive sanction they would give him for hitting a punch
The Argentine could be banned from playing a big number of matches after his act of indiscipline.
FC Barcelona lost and incredible final against Athletic Club, with which they lost the possibility to obtain the Spanish Supercup and gained their first title of 2021. The Catalan side had the advantage in a pair of opportunities during the match, but finally lost the big chance of obtaining the title they wanted so much.
The night was a complete disaster at the end, as Lionel Messi also saw a red card after punching a rival. In an act of indiscipline committed for being mad, the Argentine idol hit Asier Villalibre and had to leave the field after the VAR confirmed the violent behavior of the star.
What could have been a simple red car on the end of a game, may now transform into a big problem for Messi, as he could receive an impressive ban. In Spain, the press is talking about the possibility of him having to be out of the field during the next 12 matches, as the Spanish FA wants an exemplary sanction for Messi.
The historical no. 10 is thinking on his future right now, as his contract with Barça expires on June 2021, and he said a couple of months ago that he wanted to leave. Even though he is already capable of negotiating to leave as a free agent on midyear, he said that he was not going to do such a thing for considering it a disrespect. Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, between others, will then have to wait for his decision.
