Argentine star Lionel Messi, Barcelona captain, was lucky to come out unscathed from a cruel mistake against Barça and Villarreal, which ended with the "Catalan team" winning over the "zero submarines" 2-1 in the League.
In the 66th minute of the confrontation, the Spaniard Mano Triggeros, the Villarreal midfielder, committed a mistake on Messi that almost ended the Argentine star's season, so the referee punished him with a red card directly.
It was clear the extent of the injury suffered by Messi, who was in pain and stayed for a while on the field before the medical staff intervened to rescue him, but the "Bolga" returned to the match and completed it until the end.
Despite the severity of the mistake, the Spaniard Unai Emery, coach of Villarreal, commented on the case of the dismissal, saying that "if the shot is reflected and Messi is the one who interfered with Mano, will he be expelled?"
What a Dangerous tackle
