Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – January 18, 2021 \u2013 Sport<\/p>\n

It was a very bad evening for the Argentine football genius. For the first time in his career at Barcelona, Lionel Messi was sent off as a referee.<\/p>\n

It happened in the 121st minute of the Spanish Super Cup final against Athletic Bilbao.<\/p>\n

The captain of “Barcelona” succumbed to the provocation of the “Atletico” striker Asier Villalibre and hit him on the head. After watching the replay, referee Jesus Hill Manzano showed Leo a straight red card.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to believe, but this removal was the first for Messi in his club career. Prior to that, he played 751 matches for the club without red cards.<\/p>\n

In total, Leo has three withdrawals in his career. Two more happened to him in matches for the national team of Argentina: the first in 2005 in a control match against Hungary, and the second in 2019 at the Copa America against Chile.<\/p>\n

Messi risks being severely punished for his breach of discipline. He can be suspended for 12 matches.<\/p>\n
